Freshwater shrimp seem to be their favourite feed though. Varying the lure speed and depth can really make a difference. I keep on telling myself that I should buy a fly rod and try that but haven’t got around to it yet. Maggots, pieces of store bought shrimp and small minnows work very well in the winter months too.

Might wanna let your friend know that throwing the marshmallows in so they get used to it is considered chumming and illegal in Alberta. No harm done, but you don't want a ticket
