Hello Fishhound,
Sorry for some of the comments above that didn't seem to answer your questions, and thank you for everyone's opinions. Just a little shocking to hear negative comments when we typically receive 10-20 pictures emailed to us on an average week with success stories using Hatchery Dust from across the USA, which has become the norm for thousands of doughbait fisherman across the country since its launch this year. Maybe socal planted trout went on Hatchery Dust strike? lol But "Hype"? Great!! We love hype. But in the end, its about everyone catching fish, and we're pretty confident you can open up any major publication during any trout season across the west coast, such as Western Outdoors News, Fish Sniffer, California Sportsman, etc. and find many Hatchery Dust success stories in each. :)
To help you with your questions, my personal favorites are garlic mealworm and garlic crawler. Why? Well, all 5 flavors of Hatchery Dust as you probably know, do contain supercharged forms of the key base ingredients of a typical real hatchery pellet, however, the extra mealworm and nightcrawler added inside of these two will ALSO trigger 'native' trout to strike. Which is why we fish these flavors whenever were fishing in places like the eastern sierras, where you're sometimes targeting fish that have been in there waters anywhere from weeks, to months, to years before. So if you had to choose two of the five, I would go that route just because you're not only fishing for stocked trout, but natives as well. However, we get success stories for each of the five flavors, just seems to be based on that persons personal experiences and preferences. Hopefully this answers your questions!!
