My family is staying at a cabin in the Blue Ridge area and we will have a few days with access to a few streams with Brown Trout.

We're going to have a few kids and inexperienced adults fishing, so fly is out if the question.

What are some easy rigs for kids to pull in a few trout up there?

So far I'm planning on rigging some drop shots with shrimp or hotdog slices, but is there anything else that can easily produce?

Rooster tails work well. Canned corn or salmon egg bait can work well if you are on a stocked stream.

Smallest rooster tail or panther Martin you can find on 4# line. Great fun and easy for kids.

fun for kids buy some red wigglers live worms like shrimp in the ocean ever thing bites them

Thanks guys, ordered some tackle and hoping for good weather now.

Minnows, worms,rooster tails, corn, power bait (sort of an artificial salmon egg), salmon eggs. Be aware some streams are artificial only. The larger streams and rivers hold the browns. Chattahoochee and Toccoa rivers as well as Lake Burton are the best bet for browns or other trout. An occasional brook may be caught in some of the colder year round streams but they are usually pretty small. I don't think the state will start stocking rainbows until the end of this month or April. Your best bet in that area is the Toccoa river. Also be aware of where you fish some of the landowners are notoriously protective of the streams that run though their property. It is beautiful country and a beautiful fishery have fun.
