Hmm if your going in the stream for fresh stockies they will usually go after artificals like rooster tails and spoons off the bat and then they wise up and go after what looks like the stuff in the stream. If you go with live bait you really can't go wrong with drifting a wax worm. Not sure how the stockies react to minnows but here they usually wont go after them like crazy till a couple weeks have passed. Since most stockies are raised on corn and what not. You could also try that corn power bait stuff.
This weekend im going to try some steels and on the 3rd of Oct here i will be trying that to see if i have much luck with the just stocked trout. Just worried they will be in shock and wont be hungry. My guess is the water temps wont be to far off so they wont get into major shock.
Oh yah also I would reseach to find out how much they are actually stocking in each area. Your string of bad luck could be due to a low number being stocked therefore you wont catch as many cause many others beat you to it. I know in fall they won't stock it to much cause they blew most of there budget and stock in the spring.
