What’s your favorite bait? What do you find works most of the time?[fishon] ---

Flies…Although, the older I get the harder it is to catch the little buggers!! 😲😆😆 Just messing with you! [:P] For trout in the larger rivers or lakes, I like streamers or nymphs. Most small streams I use dry flies. ---

Rapala hj03 in perch with the hooks swapped to give you perfect suspensions. Fished on 10lb nanofil mainline to a 3 to 5 foot 4lb fluoro leader secured with a double uni on an ultralight. ---

I agree with the worm/mallow floating off the bottom, or a worm injected with air, but I keep forgetting to put syringes into my bag. I have also put the worm 5-6 feet under the bobber (makes it a bugger to cast) but gets it down where the fish are sometimes, or a weight on the end, worm part way up, and then a tiny bobber that submerges from the weight. We recently went to a little pond near Ketchum, couldn’t get them to take fake maggots or worms very well so I switched to a silver kastmaster and started catching them. Then my wife put on a black Jake with red spots and had a fish on almost every cast, three in a row at one point. No more swallowed hooks, easy release, probably caught 25-30 fish each. I tried a bunch of different lures while we knew they were biting, the Jake did the best but I caught fish on brown trout and perch rapalas, and even caught a 9-10" fish on my giant 6" rapala. There was no way for it to eat the thing, but it nipped at the tail and hooked itself perfectly. ---

I have some slip bobbers but haven’t ever tried using them correctly. I may have to do that more in the future 🙂 I have a fish finder that my wife gave me for Christmas, and if I ever get a pontoon or boat out on the water I may have to try that and a slip bobber to put it right where I need it with ease. ---

What kind of trout fishing experience are you looking for? Boat trolling? Bank yanking? Flyfishing? Lakes? Rivers? Ponds? If your on the bank, you really can’t go wrong with a worm up off the bottom a foot or so. Berkley has some stuff called " Gulp Alive Pinched Crawler", about 7 bucks for one of those little jars, but slap 1/2" or so on a small hook, fish it off the bottom, and you’ll fill your quota pretty quick. It’s got a _really strong_ garlic scent to it. ---

I’ve found that each spot you go to will have something different that is effective. When I troll in my boat though I don’t leave the dock without a Large size gold with red dotted Jakes lure and a hand full of assorted Kamlooper spoons.
