Trout fishing?????

[Hutch00]

I've done quite a bit of trout fishing on the Gulf coast Of Texas and there we use live Shrimp sometimes under a popping cork I prefer just a basic set up useing a small black barrel swivel attached to 12# test main line and on the other end I tie on a 30 inch 20# test Flourocarbon leader oh I forgot a 1/16 or 1/8 egg sinker on the main line above the swivel and a 1/0 VMC flounder hook hook the shrimp right behind the horn making sure you don't puncture the brain if live shrimp aren't available use a DOA shrimp cast out and retrieve slowly twitching the rod then reel the slack twitch and reel I have caught a load of speckled trout this way if you prefere and the conditions are good for a topwater bite try a top dog or a she dog bone in daylight and darker colors for darker conditions
Good Luck
