[quote TheWhizzle]I had sunset park dialed in a few years ago.
People would be catching nothing, and I would go slay them.
It was a simple rig, but the trout couldn't stay off it.
All I used was an olive colored Wooley Bugger with a split shot crimped on about 2 feet up the line from the fly.
A light spinning rig with 4 pound test would cast the rig well, depending on what size split shot you use.
The retrieve was fast and erratic. I would constantly reel while constantly popping the rod tip to make the fly dart around on the retrieve. It appeals to the reaction bite when they may not be in a feeding mood, so I could catch fish all day, not just in the early morning hours.
Give it a try. Nothing is fool-proof in fishing, but it's a good start.

Thanks for that suggestion. Will try. I tried a black woolly with a split with no luck, but that olive seems like a better deal. Have to go pick one up.
