Which bait is best for trout?

[Martini78]

Three of us went trout fishing today in a few spots along a nice creek and a smaller river (about the same width as the creek in the spots we fished). We all had very good luck with mealy worms and salmon eggs, drifting on the bottom. I used #8 hooks.

We caught 5 or 6 fish apiece, all brook trout, and none over 15".
