the strip pits in se kansas are loaded with fish... trout live year round and there is not much pressure... its almost like fishing a farm pond... you can catch them on pretty much anything you throw... senko, 10 in worms in the summer, shakey head, jigs, spinnerbaits, swimbaits ... like i said almost everything works just give it a try... also i know alot the pits have boat access you might wanna look around
