Question

What is the best bait for rainbow trout?

Answer 1

it all depends on the area and if your in a river or a lake. if your fishing in a river try vibrax lures they are awesome.

Answer 2

There is no SINGLE best bait. Each river, lake or such will have a favorite. Catch 22: The favorite changes! Visit the local sports shop. Smart Rainbows...A friend let me cast a fly onto/into his private pond. I immediately hooked a rainbow. In fact there were more than one after that fly. A second cast was fruitless...and a third. I tossed dry food pellets into the pond, they were devoured. Bait size is another problem. How big are your fish? Great fun...visit a fish out pond and try different baits....wet flies, dry flies, worms, spinners....

Answer 3

Its been quite a while since I fished for Rainow Trout (one of my favorite to catch) but when I lived in Washington State, I used to use Corn flavored Powerbait. Id catch trout that were 5 lbs + with that. Then shortly afterwards, they came out with the same kind just with glitter. Man! They went crazy for that...

I now live in Alabama & dont fish as often as I did in Wa. (its just different tasting to me)

Good luck.

& Happy fishing. =)

Answer 4

Artificial flies and lures are best. Then bait. I used to use grasshoppers, they work great for all fish.
