I have some tell me that garden worms are the way to go. But I've also seen people use nightcrawlers fishing for trout. Whether brown trout rainbows or native brook trout what do you think

I actually don't use many real worms for trout when I do use a worm arness trolling I use the small Berkley gulp worms that come in those little jars. but I did buy and raise some European nightcrawlers for waleye and since the are smaller than a standard worms and bigger than those red wiggles I'm sure they would work great for trout. they are hardier than a standard night crawler take the heat better and stay alive longer in the water. of you can find them where you live I'd give them a try. however unless you do a lot of fishing I don't think they are worth the effort to raise

Welcome to the Stage Ken. Back in my baitfishing days, I used garden worms, because I was using a small hook, like a #6or#8. Nightcrawlers were saved for Bass on a #1size hook. Good Luck and Tight Lines.

Garden worms! They come in many sizes, which makes a big difference to the size of trout you’re after.

For me, I like 1/2 of a nightcrawler. I thread the crawler on real small hook (#10) inflate the tail and drag it slowly across the bottom. Works real well for both trout and bass.

Ken,
Years ago we were fishing Soldiers Creek in Utah before it merged with Strawberry. No one in several boats was catching fish. My buddy Shorty put on a #16 treble hook and draped an entire night crawler from it. We limited out within two hours. Also got a lotta interest from the other boats. So I think you have to keep trying different things until you score

Inflated nighrtcrawlers are the way to go
I have heard of inflating worms for years but never had a ball needle and a hand pump around to try it while fishing.....ok I know you just need a syringe and needle but what i don't know how much air and what keeps the air from escaping where the hook goes in? ever have one pop like a little balloon?

I use about 1cc. Of air in the tail. I like my worm to float with the body horizontal not doing a head stand. A worm floating horizontal looks more natural.

I caught my best “worm” trout with a nightcrawler, a brown in the Norwalk River. With rainbows yellow Berkeley salmon eggs.
