Casting bubbles pre-rigged with 6 - 8" heavy mono between two swivels. Bubbles filled 1/2 to 3/4 full with water. 4 - 6' 6 lb mono leader. If your flies are not weighted, add small split shot 1' above fly. Cast out as far as you can and let the bubble sit until splash rings disappear. Then reel as slowly as you can. If you have wake on the bubble, you are reeling much to fast. Don't set the hook on a strike, just reel down. It's already in their mouths and they are turning away by the time your bubble moves on a visual strike. Just reel down.

Flies behind your bubble: Wooly buggers size 8 - 12 2x long shank. Colors: black, brown, green & purple. Weighted if possible.

Wooly worms size 8 - 12 2x long shank. Colors: yellow, black and brown - all with red butts. Weighted if possible.

Flyrod: 9' 4x leaders. Adams size 12, Humpy Size 12, Elk Wing Caddis size 12, Renegade size 8 - 12, small foam beetles, spiders, ants and hoppers of various sizes. Maybe a handful of Chiros in the mix.

I can carry all of the gear I need for an entire weekend in a Crown Royal bag. You don't need a lot. Just the basics. Trout are dumb and hungry.
