mauser, I am a fly fisherman but I'll put on the "spinning hat" now. If using live bait.lures etc. I would simply try a large nightcrawler tied on a #6 snelled hook. Let a lot of it hang off the hood but also make sure it is securely hooked. I would use a couple small split short sinkers and let it drift in the area you know (or hope) him to be. I do know people that have caught some really big (2-3 pound) browns doing that. Good Luck.
