I was fortunate enough to get down to Liberty Park Pond near downtown Sedalia, Missouri, over the weekend and catch a few rainbow trout. They were a little finicky at times and aggressive at others but a small jug under a float did the trick a few times. The fish either wanted a slow retrieve or a strip of about 6 inches with a 10-15 second pause between movements. I ended up catching about 20 fish but my fishing partner Tom caught 36 and I don't doubt that number one bit. I also got to watch a guy catch a rainbow that looked like it went about 3 pounds. The fish is pictured below and was a fine specimen and outstanding representative of its species.
This fish must have been close to three pounds and was probably eighteen inches long. The pictures DO NOT do it justice!
