Our local DNR just started stocking trout in a local pond, and I was
wondering what to use for bait? I've never fished for trout before.

Thanks in advance.

Power Bait or Corn, and probably worms work about equally as well.
Stocked trout tend to look up for their food as they have become
accustomed, at the hatchery to being fed that way. Fish from the top or
suspended up from the bottom.
Any little spinners should work fine also.
