Before Power Bait, it was salmon eggs and worms. I have a separate tackle box just for those little, expensive bottles. Then I have one for all my lures, then my main one for all the logistical support (terminal tackle).
If I go to Red Feather Lakes, for example, I always take my Power Bait box simple because the trout change their minds faster than a woman shopping at a sale. If I don't get a bite within 15 minutes, then I change to a different color. I've found that the corn colored bait works the best most of the time for me. That glitzy pink stuff is only for the female trout, the males want the manly colors.
On another note, the Colorado DOW planted about 2,000,000 greenback trout fingerlings in the higher elevation lakes over the past two months. It'll take a year or two for those surviving the winters to grow to catchable size. Now that's something to look forward to.
