The first time I ever fished for trout we used canned corn for bait.
Worked very well. Of course, you can catch a lot of humans with sugar
too.

It's illegal some places, and the reason given is that it blocks the
intestines and kills the fish. So far as I know, the trout, etc, are
mostly carnivores, while the carp are more omnivorous.
