Bait for trout....when no live bait allowed?

Good wiggly waxworms or maggots.  If that doesn't work, I'd go with some of those gulp bluegill baits.  The ones that mimic bugs.  If that doesn't work, throw in the towel and start drinking.

Not sure how trout act here but in Colorado where I'm from that's all we had. We used half of a baby nightcrawler on something like a Genz worm or a 1/8 oz kastmaster.

Corn or a little piece of gummy worms, yes the kind you eat! Always worked in MT for us.

Ive caught them jigging a swedish pimple

Make doughballs out of cat/dog food.  Once you get the right consistency, make sure you don't completely bury the hook point.  Also, you could order some Uncle Josh salmon eggs over the 'net.  No WV trout fisherman is complete without a couple jars.

where are you fishin at

Trout like crawlers.

Hell yes they do.

would like to try fish creek out....never tried it through the ice, caught lots of trout and crappies this summer from shore

try jigging a "gold beadhead black rubber legs" fly...size 8

at avalanche lake in GNP, we out fished everyone there 50-1 using salmon eggs, no one else there was not using fly's or mepps spinners, what fun!

Yes, salmon eggs do work good at times.  Definitely worth a shot.

Salmon Eggs work ok, chunks of raw shrimp are excellent. Cooked also works but is to soft. A few good size raw shrimp and tear off chunks to put on a jig head. Squid tentacle also works awesome. Buy a few whole squid, smaller is better, then just cut off the tentacles and use them on a jig. Great action, scent, and they last a long time before replacement. 

Colored marshmallows, they love them.

of corse the trout there were stocked, and they were no more than 13 inches long so they would likely go after them more than a bigger one.

Squid on a jig...Hmmm.  No reason not to try that for anything.  Excellent!

you are probably right ! I had never used them in anything but trout waters. I bet the panfish would hammer them if the bite is aggressive.

I'M thinking a 5in tentacle and 1/4 jig for walleye in the tailrace.
