Welcome. If your move from the west to the midwest was to continue your trout quest, let me be the first to say, there are no trout east of Kansas. We are a strickly bass region of the US. If you need pointers to turn your trout gear into heavy, stiff, bass tackle, this is a good place to start. Just tie on a Ned rig and enjoy the bass.
P.S. The bass in this part of the world taste alot like trout, so catch, filet, and enjoy.
