To start: stocker trout will eat a lot of different things - I'd suggest live shiners, artificial bait like PowerBait, or good old fashioned night crawlers.

On top of a license, you need a trout stamp, which is about $6, is available on the same online portal, and goes to funding the stocking program. Children under a certain age don't need a license.

In terms of eating them, the stocked trout are farm raised, meaning they're typically safe to eat - any other fish you risk elevated mercury levels and stocked trout are the only freshwater fish RIDOH will recommend you eat.
