Which bait do you recomend when fishing for rainbows at a hatchery stream where trout are released into the stream from the hatchery every night. Powerbait nuggets, or rooster tails??

Anything that looks like a feed pellet! I know of a fellow who makes an imitation of a feed pellet using small brown corks, he even paints them. He has caught some huge trout in artificial only trophy trout streams where the trout are fed daily with those little gems on a fly rod!

troutman11,
Remember it depends on where you fish on the stream. In Mo above a certain point is artificial bait only, below that point it's live or similar stuff like powerbait, which works good. Some good stuff to use is what you make yourself. Buy some of the pellets they're fed and crush them up. Mix them with cream cheese and plenty of garlic powder, garlic flakes is best. There seems to be something I'm leaving out but that's for you to experiment and find out.

I like to try a little bit of everything when I go trout fishing. Powerbait works good, wax worms work, and red worms, and as for lures, I like Roostertails, Mepps, Panther Martins and depending on the size of the fish brown/rainbow trout color Rapalas.
