Trout Fishing Bait

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.

I'd add a small can of kernel corn to the list as well. Just make sure it's
not "cream style", which by the way is my favorite but then again I'm not a
trout.

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.

works.

After my grandad visited a hatchery, he switched flies. Rather than using a
fly the color of what was hatching, we went to brown - the color of the
pellets they were being fed - with a red tail. Worked great. Stayed withing
6" of the top of the water, too.

And as kids, we all had Zebco reels -- not so good for fly fishing. We'd
pass a clear bobber over the line, twist it tight about 3' above the fly,
and fish the fly slowly just like any other lure.

Good luck & wish I was there,

A trick that works with hatchery raised trout is to throw a handful of
small rocks into the pond where you want to fish. The trout think its the
dinner bell (sound of hatchery feed pellets hitting the water).

How do you ge that cream corned to stay on the hook? Do they have to
go throught an 8 week "Trout/trot line" course??
