First check to see what forage is common in the place with SMB near you. Then consider using those forages since both exist together. Your minnows crayfish and other items feeding the trout will be adequate for a few SMB. Make efforts to keep the SMB numbers lower density because too many bass will eat too much forage which will noticeably reduce the trout to poor quality.
