I have been fishing the vegas ponds for trout for some years now. I think I was 10yo (25 yo now) or so when I started going to sunset park/FLSP to fish for trout. If you are gonna bait fish, there is only one word you need to remember... Velveeta!.. thats right the cheese! I cannot tell you how many times I went out there on a busy day like saturday or sunday and had people throwing powerbait not but a few feet from where I was casting and asking me what the hell im using because I was catching fish 10/1 compared to them. Just make sure you get the smallest block of velveeta they make and that will keep you going for a few trips. Nowadays I usually head out there with prepared velveeta. Ill take a little jar and melt the velveeta cheese in the microwave. Then I throw some garlic poweder in it and mix it up real nice, then throw it in the fridge to cool. Last year I went with a buddy of mine who never fishes and seriously I think we gave half our bait away because everyone at the pond was asking us for some because we were the only ones catching anything[cool].
As far as lures go.. I only carry one kind of lure for the stocker trout at the ponds. I have had 40+ fish days with it and it is the method I use the majority of the time. The 1/4 Kastmaster in silver. The best action with em is when you tie them straight to the line w/o a swivel. Just toss it in and countdown letting it sink, trying different depths. When you find the number/depth they are at, just keep retrieving at that same depth until the bite stops then try a different depth.
This year I am going to try and just flyfish for em =)
Hope this helps anybody targetting the trout this season.
Cya out there!!
