Ozark Mountain Baits

Field Notes

Floating trout eggs are typically used as a scent/attractant-style bait for trout in cold water or when fish are keyed on small natural forage. They work well on light tackle with a small hook or under a float in slow presentations.

Pros

  • Bright color can improve visibility in stained water
  • Floating profile helps keep bait off the bottom

Cons

  • Very small bait can be hard to cast and rig
  • Best suited to finesse presentations
