Sculpins greens and dark colors were the choice. lots of variation in the trout size 8 inches to 19 inches. however alot of our bigger fish 17 18 & 19s came on a 1/32 jig on spinning rod with 2# test we had several of these every day execpt one(thurs). got to fish the water falling out thurs evening in the rebar and MDC ramp area used a floating rapala 4 inch orange and had fish on almost constant for 45 min. saw several large browns over the week cruising the entire upper end (fall creek and up)those of you there for the brown run better be greezin those reels.

That's a great fish Big K. Those bigger rainbows, at taney, are getting harder to come by with each passing year.
