Worms
No hatch and no season — this is in the water every month of the year, so it's always a fair bet when nothing is showing on top.
Worms wash in from the bank when the river rises and colours up, and trout that won't look at anything else in that water will take them confidently. There's nothing subtle here. Get it down, let it move naturally with the current, and expect the take to be solid.

Eisenia fetida (older spelling: foetida), known under various common names such as redworm , brandling worm , panfish worm , trout worm , tiger worm , red wiggler worm , red californian earth worm , etc., is a species of earthworm adapted to decaying organic material. These worms thrive in rotting vegetation, compost, and manure. They are epigean, rarely found in soil. In this trait they resemble Lumbricus rubellus .
