Donger, if it is a catch and release lake, there is NO WAY they are wanting you to use powerbait. Fish will swallow that and trout are fairly wimpy and will die. By artificial lures and flies, it usually means flies and then any other lure that isn't soft rubber or synthetic "dough" baits. Try casting a spoon called a little cleo. Blue and silver is a never miss color. Cast it out, reel it in. Very simple.

I don't see any updates from R8ers. He must be having as much luck fishing as the Raiders are having with free agency.

You might try a bubble float as well, so you can actually fish with flies:

These are the rules for the catch and take lake: "Dry flies, lures, worms, power bait, fish eggs are to be used ONLY. No live minnows or fish are to be used as bait." And the catch and release lake: "Artificial fly and lure ONLY" |

From what I know (admittedly not much, because I only fly fish for trout), different states define "artificial lure" in different ways. Not sure whether Powerbait would be allowable or not.

Is fishing for trout easier/better in a boat than on-shore? They allow canoes and "belly boats" (which is apparently like a inner tube with a large condom attached to it), but no motors of any kind. |

Power Bait is always considered with bait.
In general, referring to trout at least, when they say flies or lures only they mean flies or hard bodied lures only (NO soft plastics). |

It can be easier...you can get to spots you can't reach without the boat and you can cast and retrieve at angles that put you in the best situation with any cover or currents. However, there is the risk of you falling in, and if you are bumbling idiot in a steel jonboat you'll spook the fish.
