    Theres a pond near where I live that is stocked with Brown Trout.  I have no clue how to catch them, as I have only fished for trout in a stream.  The pond is around 25 to 30 feet at it's deepest point.  It stays cold all year long because it is spring fed.  The bottom is mostly gravel and sand, and there is little vegetation growth.  The pond also has a good population of big Largemouth Bass and good sized Bluegill and Green Sunfish.  Anyone have any tips for my situation?

    Unfortunately, there's a ban on live bait for Brown Trout for that pond.  What artificials would work well?

    I'm going to that pond this evening.  I'm going to be using some nightcrawlers on one of my specially designed rigs for trout and a black, texas rigged worm for Largemouth Bass.  I'll tell you guys how I do.

    After my last post, I was looking in a guide and it turns out that live bait isn't banned during the fall.  Well, I did pretty good.  Didn't catch any trout, though.   Caught a 2 pound Largemouth Bass off a nightcrawler and several good sized Bluegill.
