All good responses. I have done well on corn, powerbait, #0 Mepps, white rooster tails, and Rebel crickhoppers. I have also seen guys catch them at Lake Graham with small minnows. I love the winter stocking program.
 
Rooster tails, black or white, worms, crickets, or corn, just gotta find out what they prefer that day, some days I have caught them on nothing but nightcrawlers, just mess around with a few different baits and find out what they are hitting the best
 
Another thing they really like are the Berkley power bait Trout worms 3" size in Bubblegum.. Caney Fork Trout LOVE them also!!
 
Anything that looks like a fish egg. Corn,little balls of cheese,marshmellows.I usally take a can of corn and a bag of colored marshmellows. Somedays they seem to prefer one color over all the others.In Germany they use little balls cut from a potatoe.Red wiggler worms always seem to work well.
 
Winter stocked trout? I borrowed a few pieces of powerbait (or maybe it was Gulp) supposed to look like fluorescent balls of corn or whatever...they loved it. However I will just grab a can of corn when I go because I'm sure it will work just fine.

The Harpeth River gets stocked tomorrow. Better to avoid the rush though and go a few days after.
