what is the best bait to use for trout fishing?

Answer 1

Maggots, worms are good as the trout is very predatory. Also they will take bread flake, infact they love it. Its cheap and can be used with ease. A top bait, and it works at night, they can really smell it. For me, it would be bread then maggots then worms TIGHT LINES

Answer 2

Trout Bait

Answer 3

Are you interested in just catching some trout or do you really want to enjoy the sport of trout fishing. You can deffinately max out your catch limit in a few short hours with some corn. Of course Trout are not able to actually digest corn so if you don't land him, most likely he's going to be floating down river sooner or later. Night Crawlers/worms are another favorite of Trout and your sure to max out using them too. However, if you lov ethe trout species and the beautiful flash of the rainbow scales just before he sucks the fly off the water you should really try fly fishing. It's incredible! Your sure to get a good fight out of a light weight fly rod and a rainbow trout hooked'up on the other end.

Answer 4

depends if your in a lake it would be flies, but areas are different, you need to use flies that are common to the area, ones that are part of the trouts usual diet. If you in a small fast moving river, wait until it rains alot so the water goes brown the put a few lead shot about 10-12 inchs away from a hook at the end of the line and find some juicy earth worms, cast into the current of the pool youve chosen and let it run with the current keeping the line fairly tight and you'll find you cant fail to get a bite, well almost.


p.s. go up river after youve tried this about 10 times to the next pool

Answer 6

in the early morning before dawn breaks have a female adams dry fly on a 2x tippet that is tapered using a 9 footer rod and a decent reel wade to your knees into semi calm waters,as the sun breaks through the morning mist whip that line stripping 3 feet off as you get ready to float the fly on the surface.now if it is drizzling rain i prefer a light spinning reel with 4 pound line and a 3 inch worm dug from just about anywhere. night crawlers will work but trout are serious feeders in the rain and must be coaxed into eating fresh meat just as a coyote must be called to feed.i have used salmon eggs but they stink so much a trout may like them better fried with a side of bacon hashbrowns gravy a few cathead biscuits.a trout is a clean fish and can be eaten as it comes out of the water.i prefer steamed so i can get all the skelaten out.go drown a worm on a rainy day and if you have a kid take him or her along.no better way to create a relationship that will last forever. or if you dont have a child borrow one from your brother or sister. one is all you can keep up with. have a large one.watch those dang rocks too you can break a bone or two

Answer 7

If you know how to fly fish that's really the best way to fish for trout. If you are going to use a standard rod and real you could use either salmon eggs or any kind of in-line spinning bait (ex. Road Runner).

Answer 8

Depends on what kind of trout fishing. If you are a fly-fisherman, then you want to have customized threaded flies with hooks calibrated for weight. Make sure your leader line is long enough (about 3 feet) so as to give you the best "alight." If you're casting and reeling, worms, roaches, water-skippers, grasshoppers etc., work really well. Not a big fan of lures, but I'm sure there are some out there.

Answer 9

I have not been fly fishing for long, but I love it already. I was recently given a tip, but it is technically cheating so I don't use it too often....

If you really want to catch and you are using fly, dip the fly in some marmite. I was fishing last week and I spent four hours without so much as a knock on my fly. I dipped the fly in marmite and within ten minutes had landed four trout.

My dad wasn't best pleased as he only caught two, and he's has been fishing for over forty years!!!

Answer 10

Depends on the time of year and several other factors,but live bait is generally the best.If you are fishing in a heavily fished area,try to use something unique.Someone stabbed you in the mouth when you ate Lobster,you wouldn't eat it anymore either.
