first, you need to what kind and what size of trout you have in your area, then the type of water you’re fishing. if you’re fishing a creek full of stocked rainbows, they’ll hit about anything. if some tiny limestone creek with real picky browns, you’ll need a 9′ leader with a super fine tippet and match the hatch very closely. all that said, use a size 8 muddler minnow. work it either dry or wet. almost anything eats them. they resemble lots of different forage.
The local bait shop should be up on what they are feeding on any particular day. A stomach pump is also good to use to see what they are feeding on when you catch the first one. You want to match the hatch. I live in East Texas and go to Broken Bow to trout fish and it is fun but I mostly fish for Brim and Bass and Crappie on my flay rod.
