Answer 2

Fishing pyramid from the shore or a boat? Forget powerbait for trout. If you're going to get any at all, you will get them trolling a needlefish 40 or 50 feet deep. Or you can troll a nightcrawler with a small flasher or blades. Unless you can get access to deep enough water and get that float 50 feet above your hook.

Answer 3

Try this if you go to a trout derby or somewhere that was recently stocked with trout, i guaruntee it will work: take a very small trebel hook, tie it on. Then put a medium sized sinker on your line about 5-6 inches above your hook. Take some *pink Power Bait Trout Dough and form a small ball, enough to cover your hook. I had so much luck with this, I caught about 35 large rainbow trout at my local trout derby in Canal Fulton. It doesn't take long so just throw it out, let it sit for a few minutes, then before you know it you will be reeling in a trout, and they are good to eat too.

Answer 4

steelhead you but a big weight and a bead next to a swivel, that way when a trout bites it, it wont feel the weight,then on the other side of the swivel, i put usually a corn powerbait

Answer 5

In N.M. we use a mixture of peach salmon and rainbow. Mix them together at about 50-50. make small dough balls and put on a #12 or #14 treble hook with a small amount of weight just before it about six to eight inches. I caught around 300 rainbow trout using this technique last winter.

Answer 6

Answer 7

In my personal opinion, for non stocked trout red is the best color. For stocked then brown is the best color as someone already stated.

Answer 8

chartreuse is the best all around color i have used green bubble gum for fast current it stays on the hook even better for long casts

Answer 9
