I lived in ID for 6 years and hatcheries are commonplace all over. Every hatchery had a creek running into and from it. They were usually full of trout and some good ones too. A friend and i ran out of worms on one trip and ended up using skittles to catch them. They worked great!
Another time on the same creek i ran out of bait and lures so i tied a 1/2" washer right tight to the hook and used it as a spinner of sorts. I must say i was pleasantly surprised to catch 4 trout using this set up.
Another time here in UT, we ran out of wax worms fishing for perch through the ice and a person in our party being a showoff put on a half of a cigarette butt and immediately began catching perch. We all smoked about it and tied one on. Caught fish the rest of the day.[cool]
