I just don't know where smaller creeks are. As far as the knots, I'm okay with the knot itself, I meant the technique of two hooks.

After thinking about it for a while, I think what I'll do is just look up Rainbow Trout and Large and Smallmouth Bass, read up everything I can about those two fish, and see if I can teach myself to catch some of those. Much easier then just asking way too broad questions like I started with the thread.
