I Didn't get a single hit in two and a half hours. I threw the kitchen sink at them (Rooster Tail, Panther Martin, Trout Worms, and Kastmaster). I heard it gets fished out pretty quick. Any suggestions?

P.S. Wish I had marshmallows with me so I can use it with the Meal worms I had in my trunk but oh well...

Honestly, I haven't fished with corn since the first time I ever fished when I was a little kid. Why does corn work? Does that go for any spot where fish just aren't biting?

It resembles what the stockies were eating.

Corn works very well for trout, even if they've gotten smarter after being pressured.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I'll have to get a can of corn and keep it in my car for emergency use haha. I use a size 10 hook for trout fishing so I'm assuming that'll work? Should I throw a few BB size split-shot on as well?

If you're gonna drift the corn, don't make it too heavy with split shots. Just one small light split shot is fine.

I usually put one or two on depending on how deep the water is and how fast it's moving.

Try fishing the beach area where it leads into the woods. I had great luck there with mealworm and marshmellows. get a slip weight and cast it 15 degrees to your left and let it sit, let it have slack so the fish can take it without feeling it.

I'll give that a try next time. The guy at the bait shop I go to told me that the little bridge on the left where the water is running is a spot where you can kill them. I was fishing that spot too and got nothing. I hate getting skunked!

I just got word that they stocked it a few days ago. I might head over there this weekend to give it another shot!
