Power bait is my fav - but in streams it's small spinners and spoons with an occassional garden worm or small night crawler. You might think about using dragonfly nymphs like our Aussie friend said - except in the Northeast we call them perch bugs.
Now is the time of the year to get a rake with the hard 3-4 inch tines and go to a pond and pull in seaweed up on to the shore and look for the perch bugs - or you can take a screen on two boards and rack some mud/seaweek onto it and wait for them to start crawling out - when you get about 20-30 of them you use a size 14 or 16 hook with a clear bobber - you will have to experiment with how deep to set the bobber's leader until you find where the fish (trout) are - at what depth.

Answer 2

Up in Scotland where there are lakes (called lochs) with an average depth of 30 feet there are a number of specialist big ferox trout hunters who row their boats this way and that with heavy tackle like yours with 20lb line and using special dead bait spinning rigs.These rigs are not made anymore but I used to sell them in my vintage tackle shop.Made of wire with a vane on the front to make the trolled dead fish jerk about like a wounded fish.The bait would be fished as close to the bottom as you can get.Ferox Trout are usually 20lbs plus in size and have teeth like Pike.You have to put them back alive because numbers of this rarely seen fish are dwindling.Dont think you would need 40lb line unless it was your mission to hook the Loch Ness Monster and experience aquaplaning in a rowing boat then a bit of a plunge straight down nearly a mile to the bottom.

Answer 3

For trout use pantar martin lures and for catfish use live night crawlers ot a dough/stink bait fished on the bottom

Answer 4

Best ever live bait for trout is mudeyes (australian name for dragonfly nymphs). They are best used from the shore of lakes under a bubble float.

Power bait is good on the idea and so is fly fishing too. Good luck to you.
