We don't consider ourselves fishing experts but willingly provide information and tips to others. The following are the answers to those questions for your reference.
Good luck and good fishing!
"What bait are we using?"
Typically we use Corn when fishing for Trout. It is cheap and works well after a Trout stocking. We also keep Bread, Cheese with Garlic, Salmon Eggs, and Trout PowerBait on hand in case the Trout are selective. Since things change from year to year, one bait may outfish what worked the year before.
"How are we rigging our fishing poles?"
Normally we fish the bottom using a Carolina Rig. We opt to fish on the bottom when we first arrive at a fishing area but will shift to fishing with a Bobber / Bubble Float, casting lures, and flyfishing. Adjusting as the situation dicatates. For your information, the illustration below details the Carolina Rigged Corn, the rig we use when fishing with Corn on the bottom.
