So now I got to study up on live bait and lures they like. And no way am I going to try fly fishing for them. Just use my walleye rod and reel set ups

Oh, wait, woah, i thought you meant crappie! For stocked rainbows in a pond, you fish power bait on the bottom with a slip sinker setup. Give about 2 or 3 feet between the sinker and the hook. Use a lighter leader between the swivel and hook....maybe 4 lb. Trout can be line shy (but stockers can be pretty dumb). You might be able to get one with a berkley trout worm twitched along the bottom with the same setup, but I'd go with the power bait. It's starting to get a bit hot for trout in a pond (unless it's spring fed), so they'll be in the deepest water. If there is current, they'll probably be in the slack water right along side the current, waiting for food to drift in. If there is any kind of fountain or waterfall or something that makes bubbles and aerates the water, try there too (trout need highly oxygenated water). |

Yeah, they'll be little bright colored marshmallow looking things, or they come in the same kind of jar as a kind formidable foam paste. The powerbait floats, so that's why you rig it with a slip sinker on the bottom and give it a few feet as leader so it comes up slightly off the bottom. With stockers, by far the best bet is power bait or trout nibbles. The powerbait is cheating with it's engineered scent and taste, and the trout nibbles are just like the little pellets they feed them at the hatchery. They may go for nightcrawlers, but powerbait is probably better for stockers. Use a smallish single hook (not a treble for trout!), maybe between size 6 and 10 Last edited by loochy; 06-20-2023 at 03:23 PM.. |

There aren’t going to be any trout in that lake this time of year. IDNR stocks those for winter only and the fishermen take them.
I would be very surprised if there was carryover. That water will be way to warm. |
