Any suggestions for early ice trout bait?! I'm fishing the Ldb trout ponds and was going too try green, white, and red maggots, and minnows . Never really fished for trout but I've read up quite a bit on them so ill try my luck and see if I can land a couple. Ill post some pictures when I get back. Thanks

Hair jigs 1/8oz-1/16th oz what ever you can work a good presentation with work well pink and white, shrimp for bait if allowed. Make sure shrimp is un Cooked or it will fall of your hook easily. You can also take 4lb mono and tie the un cooked shrimp to the hair jig witch works well and makes it tough for them to steal it.

is roe allowed at patterson?

Never had to use Nything other than small tails there buy I don't think so.

No bait in Patterson. Berkley trout bait and the like are allowed though and effective of course. Big trout smash metal.

 

[Chris Chorney]

I agree.

Exactly, if you want big trout use the big spoons or raps for ice fishing.

I read the first couple words of the post "early ice trout bait" and just responded quickly... of course, no natural bait on Patterson, Twin, Persse, West Goose, etc.

But early ice, roe is the ticket, if it's allowed.
