I fish for them in Lake George NY just after ice out when th are up on top to 20 fow chasing the smelt which are enterimg the streams to spawn.

Until they get acclimated after stocking and the water really warms up they do cruise the shallows. It's pretty cool when you see a school of 8 LBS rainbows lurking around, 2 years ago in the boatramp area I was wading between the 2 ramps and they were swimming inside 20 feet of me.

You might want to check the RVTA website forums and the trophy trout threads on what/how people caught them on.
