I've known some guys way back in the day to use dynamite though... Said they all just float to the surface and they'd sweep 'em up with nets. Not recommended these days, of course.

Trinity River in California? I live a half hour from it, if that’s the one.

The fish in the Redding, Ca. Area in the Sacramento are monstrous, native Rainbows, averaging 18, but exceeding 20 inches many times. A five weight rod will put you in for the fight of your life.

I’ve always wanted to fish western waters. I imagine some of the cutthroat streams may be similar to our native brook trout streams here.

Trinity River in the southeast of Eden. Er, I mean Texas.

Just drove through Norfork,Arkansas had trout on my mind ( for lunch) after crossing the dam on hwy 177, I saw this place and here I am. They have several trout plates, but I went with the walleye.

There are a lot of places to trout fish near me. The Spring river at Hardy, White river at many locations and the Little Red River.

I’m sure that was a good choice. When I have a choice between trout and walleye, I’ll take the walleye ten times outta ten.
