 Get a Department of Natural Resources map and see where the streams are. Maps are available at local DNR office and other places.
• Use line no heavier than 6-pound test (4-pound is better) and a ultra light, fast-action spinning rod 4 to 5 feet long.
• Use short-shanked bronze hooks size 10 to 14, and have small splitshot to get the hook down. Bigger weights and hooks will reduce your effectiveness.
• Clean your reel beforehand to make sure line flows off smoothly.
• It's hard to beat nightcrawlers for bait fishing; worms are too small to cast easily. Hellgramites and water worms are good but harder to get in mid-summer.
• Spinners, jigs and other minnow imitators work well; buy gold for browns, silver for rainbows and copper for brookies.
 With nightcrawlers, hook half just once at either end and approach the pool quietly. Cast upstream and let the bait drift down without weight if possible; stay well hidden from the fish. If you disturb the pool, move on. Stay out of the water when fishing. If you want to release a fish that is hooked deep, cut the line; if it's bleeding, keep it.
• Don't overdo size of hooks or weight, keep it simple and light.
• Fish early and fish late. You can catch trout in the middle of the day, but it's a lot harder.

you will need a floating wf 4-5 also about a 5lb leader is good aswell as this use florocarbon i find airflo g3 sightfree to be the best if our traveling use a travel rod or any thing under 9 foot is generally in about 3 peices. For flys try some small spider patterns or possibly klinkhammers ant imitations work well when its windy fished just under trees also you might need a permit to fish certain rivers also keep your rods in a cordura rod tube for protection a light reel is a must try using a cassette reel that way the spools can be changed easily.
