Default Favorite ice Rainbow set ups

I was at Carson a couple times these days off and the fishing was pretty steady. I was using trout worms on one rod, and green power bait on the other, both seemed to be equally as efficient. Just using a #8 hook with a split shot about a foot up, simple but seems to work okay.

What's everyone else's favorite trout set up/bait.

A jig on a JawJacker. Bait varies with the lake.

I have had success with atomic teasers actively jigged. Same size atomic teaser lands first year stockers as well as the big girls.

No bait. Just a balanced leech. No other weight. 4# or 5# fluorocarbon.

Tungsten's with a little bait works pretty good. What are guys using when bait isn't an option? Leeches under a jacker?

I also like using a micro jig, tipped with bait (shrimp, Velvetta cheese, powerbait, small minnows, worm, etc..) under a jaw jacker.

Sometimes, if I'm getting the jacker sprung and missing fish, I will suspend over bottom and coil up a couple feet of line to give it some slack before you trigger the "trap of death".

On my "jigging rod" at the camera I use the smallest rattlin' flyer with a minnow head or some bait if they are not too skitish. This is where a camera really lets you quickly figure out how they are reacting and what they want.

I always run a light weight clear fluorocarbon leader - I find this promotes a little less hesitancy if they can't see the line and it looks natural.

Any jig really works but I use Big Sky tungsten, 5mm or 1/16oz.

Always had good luck with an ice fly and meal worm when ice fishing for trout.

Ice Fishing for pothole trout in the winter is often first light - last light, in the shallows on the weed beds. Mid day would be dead, Chain Lake by Athabasca a perfect example.

Then one day I went out to 30FOW with a firetiger 1/16 jig head with dew worms, yes Fishin Hole sells worms in the winter. I figured the trout must be going somewhere, and they were sitting in the deep. Fun afternoons after that!

Small bobber, 2 feet off the bottom, jig with some dew worm, and watch. When the trout are negative, you will actually see the bobber being pulled from one side of the hole to the other, but not go down! Just give it a snap and alot of times you are hooked up.

Tricky part is you have to keep the worms in the truck on the dash and keep them warm. Once frozen, they are useless.
