🎣 Our Top Gear Picks for the Week

We’ve been getting tons of questions about the best gear for catching these trout, and one common mistake is using line that’s too heavy. To maximize your chances, go as light as possible—our go-to is 4lb Seaguar Fluoro. Trout are skittish, so keeping your setup stealthy makes all the difference.
