Answer 3

Power bait by berkley - need to experiment with which color is working so having several different colors helps.  I've had luck with any shade of yellow or chartruse or the chartruse and white and sometimes orange or red.

buy yourself a size 16 treble hook and some egg sinkers (about 1/8 oz) and some size 14 barrel swivels and some 2lb or 4lb Stren.  

hook     >>> leader  >> barrel swivel >> egg sinker

then you tie a 12-24" leader onto the swivel - you need to experiment on your depth because the fish will be in different depths depending on the water temperature. If you see someone else catching fish look at what color power bait they have and how far it is above their hook.  Leader is important too...

  I've fished right next to someone and matched their color and still didn't catch anything - after an hour I asked and he asked me what # line I had on - I said 4lb he said that was my problem - he had a 2# leader....

Usually 2lb or 4lb leader works good...

I stay away from corn because it kills trout - yeah they like it but they can't pass it (p**p it out) if you catch a trout with an inflammed a##hole - when you gut it - you will find corn inside it.  They can't pass kernels of corn - that is why I use corn scented power bait....

the nymph scent never caught me anything... these guys at troutlet are pretty good too.  

   Good luck fishing and remember if you aren't going to eat it - catch and release and please take your trash with you when you leave.

Answer 4

Worms !!!!!

Answer 5

i would use "gulp" maggots (white), they may be $4.00 but they are worth every penny

Answer 6

.  Live bait/ worms or crawlers,minnows. Dry flies/Adams dry fly or grasshopper. Hard baits/ spinners,spoons.small crank baits. In that order. live is all natural.

Answer 7

If this is a pond that has planted (farm raised) trout that are put in there by a private or government operation. I"d use Berkeley power bait or power worms.  

Nightcrawlers cut in half and blown up with a worm-blower so it will float up off the bottom or under a bobber if they are close to the surface.

Small spinners like Panther Martins, Kastmasters, Roostertails, etc... are also old standby's that I use when they're biting actively.

Flies, woolie buggers, joe's hopper, and related insect fauna tighted behind a clear water bobber will also produce fish.

Answer 8

powerbait lemon/orange twist rainbow powerbait live baits salmon eggs

Answer 9

fix you some corn on the cob, eat some use the kernels off of the other ones to fish with, was just in Tennessee and watched others use it with great success I used a power-bait by Berkley that was bubblegum flavor and it worked really well to.
