Recently stocked rainbow trout are responding well to a wide variety of baits, lures and flies. Meal worms, nightcrawlers and rainbow-colored PowerBait are commonly filling the three-fish limit. Rooster Tails and other spinners fool trout and an occasional bass during afternoon hours, while Hare’s Ear and Prince nymphs continue to be productive fly patterns.
