i see it once in awhile, usually on the first couple of days.   people use corn a lot also.   the set up i mentioned above will catch fish all the time.   cannot tell you how many times we have walked into a hole and guys aren't catching anything and we start hooking up on fish.   trout have a hard time passing up larve.  takes a little bit to learn how to get the bait rolling on the bottom without getting stuck but once you learn it is worth it.   but then again if you are not tie on hooks once in a while you aren't doing it right.

For some reason in our limestone streams seems like white hair jigs and white spinners with black dots work great this time of the year.
Could be the he Trout Magnets with white rubber body should work well. CHARTREUZ everything works too in  our lakes and streams.!

I use it on all my bass rods (baitcasters)  and then tie on a 6foot 12lb leader of Berkley vanish.  I have 30 lb test power pro and I think it is 8lb diam?  I like it best of both worlds.  You have the clear floro for a leader and the sensitivity of the braid and the no stretch on hook sets.  Trout I have just used straight mono 4lb for even natives.  for the little bit of trout fishing I do which will probably only be the two times I went so far I might hit the streams up north for natives but floro is kind of a pain to tie knots in.  Compared to mono atleast.
