[#0000FF]There are quite a few trout ponds that also hold perch. And using perch meat is both legal and effective in those lakes. Larger trout tend to feed on baby perch so a bit of perchlet on your jig can pay dividends. You might also catch other perch, walleye, smallmouths or other perch predators on it. Here is a writeup on how I make PPP...processed perch pieces.
You might also consider trying some of the Gulp Alive baits. The minnows...1", 2.5" and 3" sizes all work very well for trout...on a jig or drop shot style. And the worms, maggots and other goodies all work well at times too. Worth keeping some in your tackle box...if you keep them sealed. Besides leaking and messing up your gear they get dried out and worthless if you don't keep them properly stored. They are pricey but often well worth their cost in extra fish caught.
