Sort of newb to fishing.

[rpow]

Hi, so i'm sort of a noob to fishing. I've fished for carp with my Dad and got pretty good results (15lb common carp)

My Dad gave me a couple of rods and reels, 2 bait boxes and 4 carp rigs.

What I want to do is start fishing rainbow trout in a local lake, what I want to know is how do I catch trout, I've tried a few times but no fish.

So, any tips you guys could give would be great, what sort of bait, how to rig the float and hooks up.


TIA

normal worms always work, so do rapalas and spinners

How do use a spinner? I have 4 of them, all silver.

one like this http://fishcopia.com/files/in-line_spinner.jpg
you just tie with a clinch knot to the end of your line and cast and retrieve
