Bring trout worms, meal worms or Power baits. Since they are all so cheap I bring them all and let the trout tell me what they want for the day. As for spinners bring silver and gold phoebies, Al's goldfish and Mepps spinners. Got 6 trout within 3 hrs. last Saturday while missing about 12 losing them on the way in. Good day for me!

went trout fishing at a local pond (stocked). couldn't catch any but i didn't really have the right lures. I threw out a worm on a hook and bobber but the only hook i had was huge and i knew before throwing it out on the water i'd be lucky if any trout hit it (though there are sick carp in there which might have taken it). also threw out some mepps spinners and a silver pheobe.
there were trout killing bugs on the top of the pond, just straight attacking them but none wanted what i was throwing out. only had an hour b4 i had to be out to get my workout on. i'll be going back soon.
any tips gentleman? i'm not much of a trout fisherman but being at this pond and watching fish after beautiful fish jump and swim by will make me one soon. If I go back with any luck i'll give a full report.

I'm a firm believer you can't catch trout on lures. Garden worms are the way to go. I usually fish a brook in Durham. Size 4 red hook,2 split shots depending on how fast the water is moving and about 2 dozen garden worms. I seem to go thru them quick

You know it's funny but I have caught more trout with lures than worms probably because being a bass fisherman I only start fishing live bait as a last resort. But I do bring them just "in case" I can't get them to take my lures. Another thing BassGetHooked, if the trout are surfacing and are having a buffet on the bugs it makes it that much harder for them to take anything else because they are so gorged on the bugs. In most cases in that situation you're better off leaving or getting a flyrod set-up.

| Never caught much with the bobber. I find the trout like to go for the worm when it is falling to the bottom. |

SkeeterJim thanks for the tip. I was thinking the same thing. They were jumping every 5 mins. Wish I knew how to fly-fish! I have a set up but have never used it. That pond might be the place though.
Next time I hit it up I'll be bringing a smaller hook and a bunch of worms, though being a basser I'll have my lures handy.

The Daiwa SC and FC shiners are the best lures out there very hard to find but amazing, I pulled three browns all over 22" and 4lbs. on them this year and am looking forward for it to cool down so i can rip some more big trout lips.

i've had good luck this year with mepps spinner, little cleo, phoebe, the above mentioned panther martin and of course worms.
got the skunk this morning, but it was a gorgeous day to be out, so i guess that counts for something :/ |
