hi my son and his friends go there all the time, he uses a size 14 hook and a little piece of velveta cheese, then he sits on the platform and lets the cheese sit about 18-24 inches in the water, they do really well usually catch 20-30 rainbows.

yep just sits on the platform and just holds the rod over the edge, sz 6 may work but is pretty big, no weights and no bobbers. just a hook and cheese

NO a size 6 is too large.

Take the advise given and use a small hook 12 or 14.
