Abstract		An agent and method for inducing food search behavior in rainbow trout and other salmonids is disclosed. The agent comprises an amino acid selected from the group consisting of L-proline. L-leucine and L-alanine and combinations thereof. The agent may be applied to or incorporated within lures or fish food. When the lure or food particles are immersed in water, the agent will disperse into the water and rainbow trout and other salmonids close enough to detect the agent will be stimulated to search for food, making it more likely that the lure or food particle will be taken by the fish.
