Stocked trout jigs

[shimano]

What color trout jig should I get for clear water? What size? I want to go fishing for stocked trout at Ralph b Clark park.

You need to bring few with you and try, color of jig itself at most six colors, Pink, black, white, silver, gold and chartruse.

for the minnow also the same or combination of any two of them.

here some I have here in tackle box beside me. Remember color is important but most important is presentation, For that use 1/32oz jig and 2lb test line for best presentation.

 

This is my catch last night

 

all by jigging and drop shot.

Those were stocked trout right?

Very nice catches.

yes they are but privet lake so they stock very good size, I releasing smaller ones always and just keep this size. I bbq one for one meal.

d**n those are a great meal! Thanks for your help. I got some hawken trout traps 1/32 pearl glow. Not sure if you used them but they are 2 inches long including the tail so do you think they are a bit too big?

They're stocked trout, don't make it more difficult than it needs to be. White, pink, yellow, and chartreuse are solid color choices. I like Turner Jones Micro jigs but I'm not sure you can still get them anywhere. Lindy Little Nipper jigs are a good cheap option. The trout magnets work well for a plastic choice. You can always tie a little hair on them also.

no they are not big, just use ultra light spinning combo with 2lb test and you are good to go.

what you mean?

same how you doing for bass, only use smaller hooks and weight, Also most of the time I do double hook.

use power worms 3".

Thanks! What leader length do you find yourself using? Do you deadstick it or twitch it like fishing for bass?

it is really depends , but usually I go with 8" to 10", Also you'll twitch while retrieving very slow.

If you ever go to crystal clear water the stocked trout comes in packs. They run up to the bank and shore where you could just use a 8 inch leader.
