What works for Trout?

[patches]

i like hookin a piece of line bout ten inches long to the main line and stickin a little minner on it. i put the size 8 hook onto that, and hook the minner under the top fin, i do that with 3 different distances apart, with your good sixe weight to the bottom line and hit the bottom with it,. that,s also how i fish fer the smelt. we can do that here ice fishin, but don,t know if youcan thee, with 3 anyways. if ya can,t use what ya can and do it that way,. i like it and always has worked fer me. i find usin live bait, is the way to go. ya never know what your gonna catch and it,s natural. somethin they know. and won,t be scat of. i caught goood many big rainbows with those small sminners ya use fer the small smelt like in my lake. their only 1/2 inch long. but they must be good and tender to the fish cause i,ve caught some of the biggest fish i,ve ever caught with those little minners. have fun. it,s good to experiment too but i like them. have fun no matter what ya do. have a nice christmas. later
