3/16/2013 8:36:00 PMI was not at the lake myself today. it seemed a bit wind for throwing Kastmasters. but keep in mind these freshly stocked fish have been getting fed fish food nugets probly made by purina for a wile at the hatchry and I think it may take a little time for them to get used to natrule food and bait.maybe try swithching baits.I was at a lake inAZ and could see trhe fish that were planted, they would not touch power bait but white marsh melows n crawlers produced quick limit.

3/18/2013 9:25:00 AMSome times, for one reason or another, trout gey really hard to catch. When that happens, the first thing to do is to change your leader for a 4# fluorcarbon... they can be really line shy. You just have to be careful when fighting the fish not to break the leader. Then also, the sinker has to slide in the main line, and you need to leave some slack (2 to 3 feet), as some times the fish will spit it out if they fill any weight when biting.
As for bait, by order of preference (my personal opinion):
1) Power bait with garlic smell (original or rainbow color).
2) Power bait with salmon egg scent (peach or rainbow color)
3) White or yellow power egg dipped in anise oil for scent.
Some lakes one work better than the other, but there will always be at least one that work for any particular lake. Than if you find that power bait is working (whatever smell) in a particular lake/day, sometimes I add a yellow or white power egg (if garlic smell) or pink (if salmon egg smell) at the curve of the hook covering the top of the hook (size 8) and about 1/2 inch of the line with power bait... some times this improves the catch rate because it gives the trout a second target if they steal the power bait, but the power bait smell attracts them initially.
