[15FOOTER]

Thanks for all of the great info guys! Sounds like were doing a lot of what everyone is saying! As far as the uglysticks we fish 4-7foot rods med light action and love em! Been doing the steelhead rod thing for a while to and that's been great, only ours are a little longer so they act like planner boards as well. We were going to invest in bait runners this year but its expensive to switch over 6 rods (yeah we troll 6 to 7 rods at once) so maybe next year. I found some great smaller shimano bait runners that are only available in Europe supposedly check amazon. As far as fishing Merrill buddy just get out there and fish and put your time in for the browns. Go mid-week and stay away from weekends. The trout there are never as deep as you think and those fish will piss you off to no end LOL.. GOOD LUCK!
