Has anyone ever tried wax worms for rainbow trout? Any success? I heard they work.

I've had good luck using wax worms ice fishing and have caught many rainbow trout on them. I have never tried them in Texas though.

The berkley power wax worms work ok on them I haven't used the real thing yet.

they like velveta!

Some on suggested string cheese to me last year.
I fished it under a bobber and also on the bottom.
It works but I quit using it because the trout swallowed the hook.
Trying to work the hooks out of the fish killed them thus limiting my fishing to 5 fish.
I am going to use flies this year with the barb bent into the hook.
Easier release means more fishi8ng fun catch and release.

they've stocked so real nice trout averaging 16 inch on guadalupe river around Rio Raft area best success on Berkley Power baits in salmon egg peach and natural garlic.

We spent two days on white river last week, caught over 200 rainbows and we caught a few on wax worms, but we had better results fishing with something from my crappie box. I tied on a small long shank hook, made it barbless, then used the small "squirmin squirts", bass pro brand, in multiple colors, and used a small split shot weight about 10'' above hook, carolina rig style. Hundreds of trout, easy release (barbless), and we could cull the best 5 that fit perfect on grill. The hook bends from a snag, saving retie and multiple fish per "SQUIRT".200 Fish- under $10 in tackle.Caught Rainbows, brownies, and one "cutbow". Absolute blast. Arkansas-Trout capital of US

The official date of the Trout stocking below Canyon dam is 12-4-09.

With the current release most of the area will be angle to knee deep. Makes it tough with low water.
Time to dig out the power eggs, spinners and splitshots.

The stocking on the river that Fishman was talking about was
done recently by a local orgainization probably Trout Unlimted.

I did almost the same thing on Lower Mountain Fork last year... but I only caught 20-25. Tiny grubs work great too...

Tiny grub like the berkley 1.5 gulp alive grub works great

Is anybody going to go out and fish in the Snow tommarow?
I have not checked to see if/when they increased the flow.

There is a good flow at the Blanco State Park this year.
I'm not sure what they gig you for getting in.

power bait or super dupers or 1/24th oz rooster tails.

Wax worms are no good tried em at the Guadalupe... stick with power bait.

last year at the dam I was using the Berkley gulp waxie in pink, Berkley nypmh in pump/chart, Berkley power bait in garlic or cheese.

How do you rig the wax worms? I usually use corn, salmon eggs or crappie nibbles.
