The Government Put Fish In This Pond! 

Heres a good tip, use hooks that are twice as small as the hooks your using and fish close to the bank and corn works great, and power bait also only use 8 pound test at the most! I usually use 4 or 6 pound test. Also downgrade your in-line spinner to something way smaller then yours! But only use corn if you’re going to keep them! 🔥 Keep up the good work man! 🔥 good luck!

My advice would be a small treble hook and lead bait. And make sure it's floating

Just out of curiosity, was that Shield Lake in Richmond Virginia?

Here in italy we go fishing trout pretty often and what I can suggest you is tu use tinier small and covert it well not like u have done cuz trout are smart and can see very well, also I can suggest u to use a float with a small hook and put "camole del miele" on it unfortunately I wasn't able to find a suitable traduction for the type of larva tu use on the float so try searching it in Italian and hopefully figure out by yourself the name of it, good luck 🤟🏼

I catch a lot of trout where I’m at because they breed on the creeks here in wv try using garlic powder mixed with American cheese it works really well for trout

You need to use mosquito hooks

Trout specific fisherman here... 1. Use very light mono line (4-6lbs...trout have excellent eyesight) 2. Use much smaller hooks than that and keep more of the hook tip exposed (excellent eyesight) 3. Use a live worm under a small float and split shot to keep the float straight up and down. Dont let your bait sit on bottom, keep it maybe 2 or 3 feet under the float but that depends on water depth 4. When using hard tackle, use small spinners and spoons with single hooks. Blue, silver, gold, pink or any combo of these are the best colours Those rubber worms do work but theyre meant for fishing in current. Trout are very smart fish and can easily tell real from fake...hence using a real worm I personally dont like powerbait, doesnt work all that well...but thats my opinion Biggest thing is to keep moving and casting in different spots. If your worm doesn't get bit within 5 mins, reel up and cast in a different spot

I’d recommend a worm. I have a stocked trout lake that always produces if you use a simple worm and a bobber.

Make sure your bait is floating the hook aswell!

Oiiiiiiii mate i have a tip for you im Australia just walk up s and say what are you using and watch a few outdoorlivnnn tic toks on what little lures he uses

Yep stocked trout are very finicky to catch. Some years I catch 40, others I only catch a couple. Don’t feel bad lol

Try pickled corn usually works very well

Rig that Berkeley mouse tail like a drop shot with a small sinker. You can run it like a true drop shot, or add a couple inches of leader. Small hook, straight through the head, you don’t have to run it through the bend of the hook like a grub tail. Keep the line tight and just twitch it. Hope that helps

The silicon worm with the circle you where using actually caught me 2 blue catfish and 1 channel catfish and to do this you make it dance in the water so you jiggle your rod gently because inside the water the worm will dance it the water so the trout at the pond you were trying to catch will most likely mistake the bait as s real worm so yep!

Yoo i fished there in richmond!! I was there for the nascar weekend Not gunna give the exact location obviously but that place is good for channel catfish and thats about it

Use pink and orange power bait me and my fam always catch stuff on that

Use worms they love worms and I like to use a 8 size hook or 7.

Try ordering a pack of mikes mallows do one worm amd 2 marshmallows

Try bread or corn and use a smaller hook u should get em caught a brown today on bread and a tiny bobber

You need to use worms if you’re going to catch trout

There’s no way you will pin this comment.

Hey... I have some luck on spinners sometimes. You could also try fly fishing.

If the trout are fresh from the hatchery use corn, or use small sections of shrimp with a piece of corn on the hook end. They tend to hang around 1-2 feet deep and you want to be in the high traffic zone of where they tend to eat which means look for unusual ripples in the water

Trout are some of the smartest fish you can catch you have to use tiny hooks and really small test line

use minnows i used some and caught 8 of em

It's NOT the government that stocks those fish at all. It is the state wildlife fishery department each year. Good way to introduce people to fishing

Fluorocarbon is a pretty big help when dealing with trout. I'd recommend 4-6lb if you're trout fishing. Also, don't be afraid to change spinners. Some trout are looking for that particular color.

When powerbait, spinners, and artificial baits let me down.. I throw a meal worm or red worm 🪱🎣

You’ll get em next time I always skunk in my pond

Instead of that big tie on weight, try split shot weights, they hug your line more and are alot less visible, and also they allow your bait to sink slower which trout like that like

Try wasp larva. You knock down a small wasp nest. Use a cup half full of gasoline to cover the nest and all the wasps will not be able to breath. They will fall into the cup. Now you have just the nest. Pull the caps off of the larva and use them to fish with. You can catch Trout, Bass of all kinds, Crappie, Perch and many different panfish. My Grandpa used to put on his insulated coveralls, a motorcycle helmet with a scarf wrapped around his neck and welding gloves. He would just walk up to the nest and just knock it down with a stick.

Nightcrawlers in 2ft to 5ft of water if they arnt hitting on the bottom put a bobber on and keep your bait just under the surface.

Bro thinks he’s tackle2thepeople

I tried to catch stockies too and had no luck

Yo use tiny hooks and also use minnows as bait u can use a bobber or real it super slow with a weight

The only people who can consistently catch stock trout are the ones that leave 30 fish heads and a can of corn when they leave.

Trout magnet.

1) USE A SPINNER 2) Splitshot a foot a way from hook, attach floating trout dough 3) use a worm on a floater. the worm will catch anything

I’ve caught some on 1/64oz jigs rigged up with 2.5” inch power bait minnows, here in midwestern stocked ponds. I’ve almost had luck on trout spinners too, mepps and panther martin make some cool ones!

Any1 have any tips on how to just catch bass like I have gone 4 times this season and haven’t caught anything and that’s not all, I caught 5 yearling bass last season, and I went many many many times, i dont know what I did wrong, I used to catch so many but now it’s just nothing it’s like I flipped a switch, I’ve used google tips, yt videos, TikTok’s, everything I could, nothing, I NEED HELP LIKE SOMEBODY TELL ME SOMETHING.

Use a trout magnet

Small hook? Buddy, you gotta use 12 or 14’s for trout. I use size 16 for 10 pound steelhead. Go smaller, and cover the entire hook if you’re using play dough bait.

Clear bobber 4' away from a small single hook with a worm. Make sure the bobber is kinda filled with water and keep casting and realing

That mouse tail was 100% sunken because of the jig hook you put it on

Just use worms LOL. Much more efficient than powerbait. If you’re gonna use powerbait, use smaller hooks and tie a hair rig

So wehn i Go for trout i wild use a small Hock and a normal Hock Not sircel because trout are prety Lite to Hook and nexte time buy the poweregs Not the Dow oder Just Put as much in the Hock untill only the Hock Tip eckpossedt is and only Put one powereg in the hock Sorry for my grama But i am Austria and Englisch isn,t my First langwitsche

Pls reply

Everybody here is talking about make your hooks smaller use this use that just use flies you can use small flies big flies change colors fast slow and everything

Salad shrimp under a bobber has done me wonders for those pesky stocked trout. Might I mention that power bait on a Carolina rig will probably always be your best bet. I just find that presentation painfully boring, and I always wanna try something different.

Here’s a tip if wherever your fishing doesn’t allow, don’t use two poles and also that disgusting play dough your using is called power bait.I know you know that I’m just saying worms and a lot of lures depending on where you live don’t work depending on where you live

At least where I am in Texas. The stick trout will not bite any kind of fake lure or trout bait ball things. However. Garlic corn. Or marshmallows are amazing

Pautzke's green label fireball salmon eggs 18 in below bobber. check the jar for juice inside to make sure they arent dry. 💥

Ti 1:6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline

Give a try with 7-9CM long pink soft worms with light jig head on the bottom with slow moovements theres no way you cant catch a trout like crazy.

Use a bobber and worm or a small rooster tail. That ussually works for me

You have to be willing to accept not catching a fish while also being optimistic.

Imagine not being able to catch stock trout, I don’t get how anyone has troubles with them. Every opening day we fill our limits within 20 minutes

If they are stock trout they will bit corn,corn is the best for anything stock. Coming from personal experience.

Here’s a tip I learned I was fishing trout with a friends dad and he said use light tackle and live bait they like the movement of natural things so throw small crayfish and a couple worms

Great try man I’ve gotten skunked at three times I’ve gone fishing this new year still haven’t got the first fish of the new years but my friend got a giant 3 pound tiger trout thing on one of Thoses mouse tail lures so just keep trying and soon you will get one I could watch this channel 24/7❤❤

You need smaller hooks aswel as get rid of the barrel swivel trout have amazeing eye sight an spook easier lighter line aswel run braided with 4 to 6 lbs leader try trout magnets they work great an hooks the perfect size

Yo ik I’m late but a good place for rainbow trout is Dogwood canyon and from my experience spinners usually work but grubs may work to but a part of it is luck cause of how picky trout is but man it’s fun to fish for them

Try drop shotting that mouse tail! Scoot and drag it really slow along the bottom.

I had the same problem beginning of this year but I used a smaller hook then I was and just a basic worm and started to get em! I think where your worms is floating is huge

Ur hook is WAY too big for powerbait. For a Carolina rig use a egg sinker and a barrel swivel. And a 2 1/2 foot leader

Oh man those government fish are for poor people. You should fish in lakes stocked by fish and game. Lol

Also u should go to Aurora reservoir It is near me and I don't know what kind of fishing I should do cause I can't catch a trail. I can't catch anything I can't even catch a bass and I've never caught a bass.

My favorite setup by far is a bottom fishing rig with a mouse tail smeared in garlic scent floating up however much is needed. I go barbless because they almost always swallow that rig whole.

Use mini jigs or hookup baits on 2-4# line an Ultralight jig your slack and keep your line straight

Try whole kernel corn! It’s works for me most ever time, if not try regular night crawlers, or try your hand at learning fly fishing it’s another great way to catch trout and it’s a hell of a good time fight them on a fly rod set up

We know your a bass fishermen but use smaller hooks and use worms 🪱 and power bait is good to catch trout and corn

Use Canadian big worm crawlers they work and also power sit the garlic powder and a spinner which is a lure rooster tail today I got a 14 inch brown trout with rooster tail

Glowie fish

We know your a bass fishermen but use smaller hooks and use worms 🪱 and power bait is good to catch trout

Don’t use that bait stuff it doesn’t always work. I was using that stuff for sunfish one time and it wasn’t working, but when I switch to worms, it was like magic

Government fish require government food. Use Velveeta cheese. You're Welcome

Hears a tip where I’m from you use a marshmallow as a little float on the hook than use a piece of shrimp it works so we’ll biggest trout I ever caught on it was a 18 pound trout

in Netherlands this method is most used because lure fishing is for experts here and for beginners lure fishing is sometimes catching nothing for weeks

Hey man I usually only do trout fishing id use a smaller weight and worms instead or garlic power bait

When all else fails whip out the night crawlers I seen someone recently pumping air into them after putting them on the hook so the worm will float off the bottom just a little bit I always catch stock trout on worms or flys but have never had luck with artificial

The best luck I’ve ever had is with a gold jakes with a red domino pattern and I caught 50 ish in a day

use a small piece of cut bait and a small hook and splitshot around 12 to 18 inches from your bait i figured this one out while catfishing at my local lake

Put your bait and hook at least 15 to 20 in away from the weight so it can float freely away like it's just a piece of bait floating in the and keep a tight line and look for a small tiny little wiggle it's going to be very very minut and then pick up the runt without shaking it start reeling it in slowly and see if you got something on it

Put a worm on the hook and inflate it so it will float. If the fish came from a hatchery, use some hatchery bate. The fish are hungry. They will eat the right food.

That’s as happening to me and u gotta ask then what they are using if they are landing fish all around u I did the same thing one year and it seems they wanted the bait like u got but it was a sparkly bait and it had to be at the right depth that play a lot the role in it where are u just curious I’m in northern Illinois and me and buddies would go to stocked lakes and limit out every morning

In my local pond we use light Carolina rigs with yellow power bait or corn but the weirdest one is marshmallows

If you’re using braid you should try to put a 4-6lb fluro or mono leader should help you with bites

The waffle house has found its new host

Just get a worm put it on a size 8 hook Small weight Smaller float with about 2-3feet of room and cast best way to catch them at a pond

stocked trout eat baits toward the surface i never had luck until using power bait eggs just enough to make em float and right below the surface

Can you give me a rod and reel i dont have any rods and am Dijar im 11 and im starting fishing Please can you give me a rod and reel

use smaller hook and smaller egg wait. also ur line looks more than 4lb. trout are line shy so u have to use 4lb or less. also fluorocarbon is the best choice bc it’s more invisible under water and sinks

I just caught a trout on a hellgrammite. Of course not the species I was targeting, but pretty interesting

Shields lake? My wife used to live right down the street from there! Got my first top water bass at the pond

Have a tipe there is trouble hooks and u wanna tie that on with a 4 pound leader and for bait use salon egs power bait like u just used. And trust me it will work.

Use minnows for stocked trout. They go crazy for them.

Completely cover the hook in power bait so you can see any of the hook just the line sticking out of the powerbait

My dad told me of times in fishing tournaments when other boats would pull up marlin and in entire week they lost every single one

I’m the opposite 😅I can catch stocked trout all day but haven’t had as much success with the bass!! 😂

Does anybody have a problem with Asian catching fish in America?
