Yup, thread destroyed....sorry about that.  Cant help with trout, but ill tell yout that you can probably catch some crappie from lake 35, and lake 32 around the fishing piers.  I caught 2 in less than in hour on new years eve from lake 32 with a swimmin minnow under a bobber.  Could have done better but it was the last day to deer hunt up there and I felt the need stare at the woods and not kill deer all afternoon.  Need to be able to cast a good long ways, and just slowly pull the float fast enough to keep the bait swimming.  4-6ft is a good starting place, may be up or down a few feet.   If its been warm and breezy for a few days (like today.....) they may be a bit closer to the bank then you might think, but still in the 4-6ft range.  Live minnows would probably work even better, but im typically a jig guy, cuz cold minnow water in january sucks.  FYI The bait/smoke shop (talk about 1 stop shopping) at 94 and 40 carries minnows all year long.

One thing about fishermen. You get them talking and they can talk all day.

I've fished Busch a lot in the last few weeks over winter break fly fishing at the CnR lakes.  For me there's always one lake better than the other and surprisingly 21 was better most of the time.  Since its so muddy there I only use two kids of flies- leeches/wooly buggers when it's windy and glo balls when it's calm.  These also work at 28 but since the waters clearer there I like to catch em on midges and nymphs

Trout is one fish I actually prefer baked a certain way versus fried.

Butter and season each side of a fillet with lemon pepper.
Wrap in foil with a half a slice of bacon on top and bake at 350 degrees in an oven for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, remove, open foil up on bacon side, raise rack up and broil the bacon for a few minutes until it crisps up.

My fiance isn't a big fish eater and even she loves eating them prepared like that.

Actually I like them Fillet, breaded and fried. I use to bake them but never again.
