Catching rainbow trout
Posted on 1/19/19 at 2:55 pm

Spinoff to the LDWF dropping 400 lbs of trout into Kiroli park.
Fished the park a lot as a kid/teenager for bass and perch, never in my life caught a rainbow trout though.
I saw sweet corn on a small hook may work?
Any other little tricks?
5 fish limit and they look small but I would love to try one in a skillet with lemon juice, recs on cooking a few?

There is a small lake here that is stocked every winter. Pick up the salmon eggs paste and make small balls with it.

I fished a mountain lake in the Cascades back in 2013. We used power bait pellets and I couldn’t believe they worked. That’s all I got for ya. Good luck

Can of corn will work just fine. Just make sure it’s not cream corn. Landed many trout on the White River as a boy. Split shot about a foot up and let it fly.

Tight line with power bait eggs and wax worm. Easiest fish to catch on the planet

Small nightcrawlers/earthworms you can dig from your yard.

Colored marshmallows work too from what I’ve heard. They stocked a pond down here with Rainbow Trout and that’s what people have been using. I’d give it a try and see what happens

Split shot about 12” up the line
#8 bait holder hook
1 Power egg on first up to the eye. Chartreuse or pink.
1/2” of earthworm threaded on the rest of the hook.
Together it looks like a grub or something. They’ll eat it.
Tight line it mainly. I’ll pull up and check it every once in a while and slowly work it in.

They just stocked a pond near me as well. I have no clue how to catch them. Got them to chase some soft plastics used for bass but they would never bite. Going to have to try some of these suggestions.

Everything posted here is spot on...I have caught trout on all of the baits listed. Just basically fish them like you are tight lining for catfish, but use corn, fish eggs, or night crawlers and you will catch any rainbow that passes the bait.
FWIW, they are edible, but not as good as the southern fish that you are probably used to eating...

I love rainbow trout broiled or fried in bacon grease

Try a bait called Trout Magnet, need 2 ld test line and fish it four inches off the bottom slowly reeled in, hot pink or chartuce . I like to grill them indirect w butter chili lime sauce basted.whole and skin on.

Don't use corn. It kills the ones that get away. They can't digest it.
Powerbait is the answer. Slays them.

A common saying but from the only study I'm aware if it is a myth.
Article on a 1992 study where a PA state biologist confirmed no mortality due to corn
They can't digest it very well though. Just passes right through.

Farmed trout doesn't taste the same. It tastes okay but wild trout is truly delicious.

I own a lot of trout water. Stream, river, and pond. I wish I had a dollar for every belly up trout that we have necropsied that had a bunch of corn stuck in it.
Posted on 1/20/19 at 3:52 pm to Benjamin Ryan
I understand and it may be true. I'm just saying that from the only study in which there was a control group to compare them it was shown to not increase mortality. Perhaps it's the type of corn?

Frozen boiled shrimp from Wal-Mart. Pinch a piece off, put it on a trout hook, profit.
