I have found corn many times in trout stomachs before. Always in whole condition. Never found a piece half digested or in a soft form.
There are many other baits that catch trout. Salmon eggs, power bait, butterworms, mealworms, garden worms, live and salted minnows, fake flies and nymphs, and lures of all types. It takes a real fisherman to figure it out.
Every day is different.
Corn is a shortcut to putting your time in. After the trout get use to feeding on the natural food, corn doesn't work very well. It's the new dumb hatchery fish that don't know the difference.
