Some of the best fishing I ever did was in a trout stream with some 4 lb. test monofilament, a small hook (salmon egg hook basically), one or two split shot, and grasshoppers for bait. It was early in the morning probably around 7:30. It was cool, and the grasshoppers were sluggish and easy to catch. Once it warmed up, the grasshoppers were about as easy to catch as shooting a flying duck with a rifle.
