Small live worms or crickets should work best.

Lakes – 1/8-1/6oz in-line spinners, 1/8oz spoons, 1/8oz crankbaits, 2″ mister twisters. Worms, corn, powerbait, grasshoppers.

Streams – 1/24oz-1/8oz in-line spinners, 1″ mister twisters, 1/16oz pop-eye jigs. Worms, grasshoppers.

Worms work the best. Followed by cocktail shrimp and Pautski’s single salmon eggs. Power bait will work on hatchery raised fish but ones that didn’t get planted won’t come near it. The tail meat from crawdads also works well.

Patuzke’s Balls O’ Fire Salmon Eggs, worms, nightcrawlers, crickets, grasshoppers, Panther Martin and Blue Fox Inline spinners along w/ Kastmaster spoons annnnnnnnnnnd we cannot forget the universal hatchery/stocked/planted trout bait ~ “Power Bait”… Might want ta’ check on the plants/stockin’ schedule for trout (link) because of the financial crisis that we’re in (thanks Ahhh’nold) and all the states cut-backs. Now if your goin’ for native trout then your ok, just a little more work gettin’ them, then the planters
