What is the best bait to use for trout fishing?

RE: Trout bait
 

All trout are different!?!?

Are you talking live bait? Artificial? Lure?

I will give my list of my personal preference of each(this IMO)...

Live bait~~ Red finned minnows(Threaded) or Meal Worm

Artificial~~ I dont tend to use the stuff but Powerbait is hard to beat for what it is!

Lure~~ My Handtied Spinners

Now if I amgoing after the big boys you will hardly see me with anything but a Rapala, Rebel, or Yo-Zuri Pinns Minnow on the end of my line?? I will also fish the big ones with Minnows as well!

There are so many things that trout will go after it is hard to narrow it down to one thing??

I guess if I could only carry one thing with me on any stream it would be a Handtied Spinner simply because they are simply more enjoyable for me to fish???

worms and salted minnows

RE: Trout bait
 

mine would have to be as follows:

live- red finned minnows ( red finnies )

artificial- secret bait ( can be found at secretbait.com ) this product has out fished power bait and is the best bait that i know of on the market

Worms...;)

RE: Trout bait
 

It depends on what kind of trout your fishing as well as native or stocked.. A little more info and you may get a little more help on this one. Also depends on time ofyear as well as stream ,river, or lake..
As some has stated red fin shiners work good as well as worms for most times of the year. I have friends that have caught alot of them just using a kernel of corn right out of a can.. So give us a little more info.. Also brook, brown, rainbow, ect...

RE: Trout bait
 

what type of bait works best for stocked trout, about may or june, streams, and any type of trout

RE: Trout bait
 

i use power bait and minnies and spinners in slow moving water

RE: Trout bait
 

wardens rooster tails are great for rainbows. garlic marshmellows will catch you brookies, rainbows, cuts, browns and many more. Mosquitoe flies work well for most and so do dry fly boatsmen.

RE: Trout bait
 

do just regular marshmallows work for trout?

Mossehuner...Warden Rooster Tails are my go to secret bass lure as well.i LOVE that lure..I use 3/8 ounce white.
C7;)

Every friendly local bass tounry I won..about 4 have been with the white Rooster..it's awesome..

Every year the Rooster Tail goes up in price..I'm stocked for a life time...I've boated many 6lbers on them..Here's a 2 pounder..

RE: Trout bait
 

I use white powerbait alot that. i have caught quite a few on dry fly's but that was in Montana fishing for native cuts.

3" white glow tube!

Me and my dad always use spikes and wax worms also.

RE: Trout bait
 

I liked those worms you sent me Chuck and I will be using them again in this years tourney as well. Not bad for some one who had stated those rubber things wouldn't work..;)

RE: Trout bait
 

Most bait shops carry yellow or limegreengarlic marshmellows. Not for human consumption but work well on alot of trout. The best way to fish them is with a pickeral rig (you guys might call them crappie rigs) and bait each hook with a worm and garlic marshmellow. The nice thing with those is the sinker is a good 2 feet away from the hooks which allows the marshmellow to come up off the bottom where the trout can see it. Ill usually bait with half a worm on each hook and top em with a marshmellow.

sweet, I use a yellow bodied one with a bronze blade, with red tail feathers. They can be hard to fish until you get used to them , but they work really good. I troll them behind the electric motor for rainbows, seems to work in every lake. Flatfish work good for those sufacing rainbows too, if flyfishings not you thing

RE: Trout bait

RE: Trout bait
 

i also use meal worm and wax worms and if there are carp i use corn
