what are you guys using for tackle?

Can't speak for the others but I like a 7'-8' ultralight spinning rod and Shimano Sahara 500-1000 series reel . 2-4lb line

I use the 6' Shakespeare Reverb Spinning Combo from Wal-Mart with Trilene "easy casting" 4lb line. Fish about 2-3ft off the bottom with a egg slip sinker, #18 treble hook with Salmon Peach or Garlic power bait. This set up is for lake fishing, might not work so well in a stream.

My son was using a 5'6" Eagle claw UL rod with a Zebco Omega ZO2 reel,6 lb green Trilene and a big ole glob of Salmon Peach powerbait.

Got a text letting me know the hatchery truck was spotted leaving one of my favorite hangouts. I slid out of work a little early, swung by the house got our gear and was in line wating for my son to get out of school. He hoped in the car and off we went. He caught this one on his second cast with a minnow. I saw the fish dart out from under a rock and hit it.

Beautiful brook trout.

Pics from Thursday, spent the day fishing the Smokeholes caught a bunch of trout. Then went and dug ramps.

One more pic , 25" 6 1/2 lb rainbow from early last week.

That was a good day...!

Took my dad and oldest son and went to Elkhorn today, and absolutely slayed em, we each got our 6 in just under 2 hours, a good time by all....!

Good deal, can't beat that.

Troutnut took me fishing once for trout, I think he called the place the GARHOLE ?

Anyone every heard of this place ?

We couldn't check a cold, much less a Trout

I will be glad when we can start floating the river again for smallmouth as Tommy will take you to some good spot's.

I think he keeps the TROUTHOLE for myself.

Nah Country I wouldn't do that. Just a bad day , everyone has a few of those.

24" 6 lb rainbow from Dry fork Randolph Co Wva

I did not know they grew em that big....
Nice fish...!

Let me know when it's time to float the river for smallies.

Soon as the weather gets decent Country , river is about a ft and a half high now

Nice fish , great to see kids out getting involved.

Wow , all of you got some amazing catches for sure , great job , and a ton of fun as well. Sure glad i don't have to be near Tommy after he had a mess of ramps .

Great Deal, Glad to see the kids with fishing poles in there hands instead of cell phones. lol

Nice Fish.

Hope to be fishing with Troutnut soon as the river levels get down.

I had a pretty good day on the Roanoke River last weekend.

Those are some nice brook trout in the bottom pic. Good eating size rainbows too.
