How many times have your heard that one? I laugh at the novice clods who repeat it every year. I've been hearing that for decades. It hasn't happened yet......
Yeah me too. I have heard that for years & that the stream I fish, that this is going to be the last year it gets stocked. Been hearing that one since I was a teenager.
I wish they would outlaw corn. My wife would make that as part of dinner 7 days a week if she could get away with it. I swear she could live off corn alone.
We eat frozen too. Hardly eat anything canned at all due to the high sodium content. Still, I would gladly throw all of it in the trout streams just so I don't have to eat it.
Oh I don't know, I actually like creamed corn once in a while. My wife too likes to make corn as a side for dinner an awful lot. Sometimes I eat it, sometimes I don't. But for trout bait there's nothing better, at least for the stockies. Now native trout that's another story.
Cope's corn is really delicious, and creamed corn is ok too, but the other stuff is pretty lame. Frozen's better, fresh the best!! Never use it for trout bait; no idea why. Maybe this year??
For stocked fish, there's nothing better. Figure, they're raised on some kind of processed meal or whatever it is that humans feed them. When in the stream, the sight and sounds of all the bait hitting the water is like ringing the dinner bell. The yellow color attracts them I'm convinced of that. The first bait of the season for me is always corn. Some of these kids see me catching fish and they think I've got some kind of super bait. When I show them what I'm using, they usually laugh.. But I'm the one catching fish they're not.
Oh yea, I've caught many a trout with Velveeta, but its a pain to keep on the hook for more than a cast or two. I've had a few people tell me to mix in some cotton fibers from a cotton ball. Supposedly it helps it stay on the hook better. I'm too lazy to try that though. I use Velveeta when nothing else is working.
