Any Trout fishermen aboard here? [No, not Kilgore Trout :) ]

[dhr]

I haven't fished for a number of years, but as a kid I did a fair amount of trout fishing when I lived in Utah. One of my favorite places was a lake in the Wasatch range...Ramona Lake...it was about a 5 mile hike to it from where you could park. One of my dad's friends had a stash of pots, pans and other assorted gear stashed up there (it was pristine wilderness then, not sure what it's like today) so we only had to pack in bags, tents, fishin' poles and the like.

Anyway, now I'm in 'Scansin, and there is trout fishin' to be found, and I'm looking to get back into it. Plenty of fishin' in 'Scansin, but trout is attractive given they're a stocked fish (for the most part) thus less likely to be high in mercury, PCBs, etc. And I have a smoker, and smoked trout are nommy!!!

So...any of you guys do any trout fishin'? If so, what are your favorite lures/baits?

Note...don't think I could flick a fly worth a damn, so I'll be hook/lure fishing...got my Ugly Stick and license (hard to believe you need a damned license, but welcome to the land of the taxed to oppression)...
