Regarding Small Trout in Mountain Streams:

Fishing for small trout in mountain streams involves navigating the upper parts of rivers where species like Yamame, Iwana, and others thrive in smaller, obstacle-laden waters. Due to the environment, both fish and lures tend to be smaller, necessitating lightweight and manageable gear for anglers.

Recommended Rod for Small Trout:

Shimano 24 Trout One NS

Regarding med to large trout in Mountain Streams：

For medium to large trout in upper to middle river sections, the environment changes, requiring longer casts and larger lures as the river widens and fish size increases. Key targets include larger species like Yamame, Rainbow Trout, and others, varying by region. As obstacles decrease, the need for stronger, more robust tackle arises to accommodate the larger fish and greater casting distances.
