Comment:	To fish the Sipsey Fork for trout, all you need is some basic light tackle and a cooler to take your fish home. This makes for a good day of family fishing. Anglers must always be prepared to go to a safe (high) location when water is released from Smith Dam. Little warning is given. The fishing is available from the bank or by wading. The use of waders, float tubes or canoes will expand the opportunities to catch a trout. The limit is five trout per day. The normal fishing license requirements apply; no special stamp is needed. Fly fishers use light rods usually 5 Weight or smaller 8-foot or longer in length. The flies change seasonally and can be as big as a #10 Woolly Bugger and as small as a #24 CDC Caddis Midge. The non-fly angler will be most effective on two to six pound test line. Small spinners, spoons, or 2-inch sinking lures may work. Salmon eggs or special trout bait works well, as do worms and crickets. A size 8 egg hook is used with enough weight 18- to 24-inches above the line to cast. Cover your hook with bait. Many lure or bait anglers fish from the bank.
