what pound test were U using

[ffsbc]

@SFfisherman 4lb test fishing line was used in this video. For stocked catchable trout, 4 or 6lb test fishing line is sufficient enough.

What about a little stream at the most a foot and a halve deep I'm sure there is trout in there what's the best bait for trout a rooster tail or corn flavored salmon eggs please respond.

[ffsbc]

@danishconsumer In small streams, you should try fishing with a small float and try the same baits mentioned in the last answer. Small spinners such as a rooster tail should also work well on a very light spinning rod and reel.

What works best for rainbow trout ?

[ffsbc]

@danishconsumer There are many fishing techniques that are very productive for rainbow trout, but the easiest way to catch them is definitely by using bait. Please check the regulations of the lake or river where you are fishing first, to make sure that there isn't a bait ban before deciding to use it. The best bait for rainbow trout includes dew worms, deli shrimp, krill, and corn. You can also buy artificially produced bait from your local tackle shop.
