Im a Londoner but Im well travelled. I've float fished for trout in the lake district at a great little fishery called 'bessy bek'.

The first time I went, the fish were madly feeding on the surface and I managed to bag 14 in 3 1/2hours. I was steadily feeding dynamite carp ground bait, which is good because it has a trout pellet flavour.

The second time I went, the fish were not feeding so readily. So I fished above a bed strawberry and ordinary corn. I also fed in the remains of some ground bait I had left. I still succeeded in catching three that day, one of which was a fair size. I know the trout were feeding on the bed because when they were gutted my various types of corn were found in their stomachs.

But I say, if worm isnt working try a corn hook bait. But personally, I think a worm is still your best bet.
