This is just an FYI..

A couple family members and I were fishing streams up in them mountains for trout and we were getting all set up and my uncle (not an outdoors man per se, can't/won't clean fish because he's scared of intestines) pulled out a little jar of what looked like little balls of pink play-doh..  I went wtf?  It was called "Power bait".  So I thought yeah have fun swinging that around all day for no reason..

...turns out he caught more than the rest of us.  Color me surprised..

(I caught the first one tho..:thumbup: )




powerbait is good for stocked rainbows.  The downside is that you'll pretty much never catch a brown or brook trout on powerbait, plus the shit stinks and it gets all over your fingers so you have to smell it every time you take a drag off of your smoke.




Oh yeah, I picked up some power bait the other day. I'm reluctant to use it because I feel like the current will wash it off my hook, but I'm probably going to try it next time I go.

Stocked rainbows are fed a diet of pelleted food as they are grown out in the hatchery.  If you are going to stay fairly immobile while you fish, you can try gathering a few handfuls of small pebbles (1/4 inch and smaller) and tossing them out over the water.  They think its feeding time and some should be drawn to the sound.

Stocked rainbows will go for almost anything that hits the water if they are hungry enough.  The brook/native trout around here are much smaller and harder to catch, but I've had luck with grasshoppers or lures that resemble small bugs.  They will scatter quickly if they even see your shadow move over the water.

+1 on the corn kernels and small spinners like the Mepps brand.

If i'm fishing for brookies, I'm probably using a very small fly and bubble.

I've almost always had my best luck with gold bladed spinners when fishing for browns in streams/rivers (resembles a small brown trout is my theory)

Amanita talked about powerbait. This is killer for stocked raimbows...get the color similar to velveeta cheese or a chartreuse rainbow mix. When I waqs a kid, we started using velveeta on a size 16 treble hook and outfished everyone...problem was, it got too soft in hot weather. Then we tried different colors of playdough...pretty much how power bait got started. I wish I would have thought of that.

1/16th oz. rooster tails...(black is my fav., white or yellow) and a size 0 mepps aglia...another great trout spinner. Those work better for browns/ brooks as most brooks and all browns will not take powerbait.

These are the baits that I give to newcomers...my boys and now grand-daughter. But the real fun in trout fishing is fly fishing if you have streams/ lakes that get good caddis/ mayfly hatches.
