Well I've been doing early evening and staying until just after dark, until it gets too creepy for me to want to be out there alone. Doing that I've caught plenty of trout and have quite a good time catching them one after the other on UL gear but they're almost all browns.

white95v6 - There have been issues with rainbows from the hatchery from what I hear. The hot, dry summer made it difficult for rainbows at the hatchery and even more so when they are released into the river. I've caught very few rainbows as of lately and I hear it's been that way for the past few months. The brookies are getting bigger and that's nice to see. Trophy brown trout are available during the night, I've done it a few times. I still think it's unfair to make the limit 24". Maybe bring it down to a PLR of 14-20 inches and none above 20" can be kept. Similar to the regs for rainbows and brookies except that with those species, one fish can be kept over 20". I think that's fair compromise that makes everyone happy.
