How To Set up & Fish For Trout, EVERYTHING You Need To Know!

I went from getting skunked at the lake to landing some jumbos using these tips and tricks videos that you guys put up! Thanks!

[@AddictedFishing]

Glad to hear it!

Thank god for this video if I go out fishing with my kids and don’t catch anything again they’ll probably give up on me 😂 headed to the lake now for trout and crawdads wish me luck! I need it 🤣

[@jdfl7151]

It’s amazing as to how this guy actually shows how to set everything up while other you tubers just say what line there using and just say what bait to use

[@slr004]

As a person just getting into the idea of fishing, yours has been the single most clear, concise, specific and well explained video I've seen. And I've seen about 20hrs of videos in the last week at this point. I like the 3 methods, I thank you for showing how to ACTUALLY set up the line, weights, hooks and bait, the knots and the casting (only thing you missed is to catch the fish 🤣) but really, from a complete beginner that only bought a rod, the line and hooks and started randomly watching videos trying to learn, I appreciate your intake and explanation of the whole thing. I feel like I can catch more than a cold if I go to the lake now.

[@babygirlhouston]

Thanks for your response, I agree the videos were great! Same here, as a beginner these were among the best so far.

[@lostsoulpix666]

Gold info. I’m a combat vet and the outdoors has been a blessing for me. Took $500 bought a cast master (first ever rod) lures, hooks, weights, a net, all kinda of stuff to get me started. If I ever see this guy I will have shake his hand for the time he puts in making these videos for guys like me who are greenhorns to the fishing game.

[@RareFilesMusic]

happy fishing god bless

[@UpandSprout]

Also a Veteran, out for about a year and trying to find my peace. A riverbank worked for my grandfather so I’ll start looking there. Thank you for the helpful info!

[@ezrajames8858]

Are we just supposed to be fishing after? This is prolly the most peace i’ve had since getting out 4+ yrs ago. Wish i found this sooner

[@coopermonaghan1615]

It's always a banger when Jordan is here

[@mastercreamer1398]

Wow dude

[@TexasO9ER]

I love how you show EVERYTHING especially for some guys just getting into fishing. Thanks!

[@mj011n1r]

that trick with the loop for the split shot was a new one for me

[@israelserna1773]

Bro this man and channel saved my passion for fishing and everything around the incredible sport

[@kowonkook5401]

You guys are the reason why I started fishing this summer. It's better than going to therapy. There's something about being on the lake and fishing that calms my mind. Wish I found this channel sooner

[@RareFilesMusic]

youre not alone there, brotha

[@minsupark7698]

As a newbie who just started fishing 4 weeks ago, I can't thank you enough Jordan! I've been going to trout fishing in lakes in Washington states late in the season and I've never been skunked. Last Saturday me and my wife caught 7 rainbows in one spot within just 3-4 hours. For a newbie I've been teaching/helping not only my family and friends, but also people at the lakes. People couldn't believe that I am a brand new angler. My family fell in love with trout fishing and now everyone owns their own fishing rod. Thank you Jordan!!

[@snipermilner]

Everyone doing tutorials on KZbin needs to use this video as a guideline. Thank you!

[@IverJ]

I love that folded line trick for running line through the eyes! How many times I've dropped the line and had it run back through...I have no idea. Simple, genius.

[@benjo2374]

I have been teaching my friends everything I have learned on this channel. They say it's like speaking to a totally different person when I speak of fishing . You guys are amazing

[@mastercreamer1398]

Not saying much lol

[@RareFilesMusic]

facts brotha happy fishing

[@trenchtowles3742]

This is probably how my kids see me explaining how to fish without the rewards word for word. The best explanation video I've ever seen. Thanks!

[@jacobbrazell8684]

I freakin love it when you guys cover how to fish trout in different environments!

[@cynthiajimenez9126]

This is the first fishing video I have ever enjoyed to watch. My husband fishes & watches videos. I can't stand watching the videos with him. Then going fishing uggh I've always thought it was so boring. This video made me want to learn how to fish. This video made it look like an actually fun sport. I have never even considered it a sport before. I extremely enjoyed the "how to" and step by step instruction. I enjoyed the explanation and honesty. Especially when you would say, "I use this and this, you an use other brands or methods bit this is why I do it this way". I liked that you explained why you do it a certain way. I have never enjoyed anything about fishing, even my husband buying more bait or rods. Thank you so much, this video was so great, I actually want to go fishing now and learn. My husband has tried to get me to go fishing for the past 9 years, since w have been together and I always decline learning. Not anymore. Thank you for your teaching.

[@icedirt9658]

I like this video it has the right balance of chill vibes, product plugging, education, and bloopers

[@vinnyivanov2906]

I have been trout fishing successfully for many years, but I sure do enjoy these videos very much

[@jodygarcia9892]

Would you agree with all these tips do they work for you? Any other tips?

[@Lithui]

Hey, super helpful. Been slowly getting into fishing in Gray's Harbor for a couple months and struggling to figure stuff out. It's super cool to see some guys in the PNW giving good tips for us, I'll be sure to try some of this with my kids next time we hit Lake Sylvia! Love it, keep it up guys!

[@legione1capone]

I just wanted to stop and give you props for such a great video. You are obviously a master at your craft and it shows. You just gave so much useful information in one video! Ill need to watch multiple times to absorb it all. Very well done!

[@georgejessop9860]

After fishing for most of my life for blues and stripers from our 15' runabout offshore up to 6 miles or off the jetties and beach, I decided to buy a rod or rods to use with my ultra light reel, a Mitchell 409 and 1-6# line to go along with my baitcaster. I chose a Fenwick Eagle 56UL-MS-2 a 5'-6" Ultra Light-Moderate 1/32-1/4 oz. lures and 1-6# Line based upon several online reviews. I also bought Fenwick's Eagle travel rod EAG66M-FS-3 a 6'-6" Medium-Fast 1/4-3/4 oz. Lure 6-14 lb. Line for more distance and heavier line as my reel has a light spool and a heavy capacity spool for perhaps 10# braided line. I am sitting out this blizzard of 1/29/22 and loving your tutorial for beginning trout fishing on UL gear. Thanks for starting at the beginning and walking us through the basics in good detail. I'll be looking for more of your presentations.

[@jaysmith6013]

I’m so thankful for people like you putting out this content and knowledge for anyone to use FOR FREE! I started fishing many years ago and for years I absolutely sucked at it because I didn’t know what I was doing. I relied on strangers for advice and picked up little tidbits along the way. If KZbin was around when I was a kid, it would have completely changed my fishing game. Thank you!

[@bengeiger332]

Man I love my 5 foot ultralight rod with 8 pound braid on it. Awesomeness catching big fish on the ultralight. It's an addiction for sure.

[@JaySunfish]

Thanks for this! Great video!

[@patsytaylor9846]

Great tutorial! Especially appreciate the guidance loading the braid onto the reel. I have struggled with this a few times and ultimately gave up and went back to mono. Looking forward to trying again. Thanks Jordan!

[@mitchhamrick3117]

Thanks!

[@orion84037]

I absolutely killed it last week at an alpine lake in the Uinta mountains in Utah using my Okuma Sedona and the Addicted bobber pulling flies and bait on braided line with a 36" fluoro leader. The braided line is a game changer in ease of casting in windy conditions. I find putting a power egg on with the piece of nightcrawler often improves the bite. Best fishing tutorial channel on the Tube IMHO.

[@meganc4442]

Thanks so much for this, my nephew lives with me and we planned a fishing trip this weekend with my grandfather's poles he left me! I know nothing at all so your videos being so clear is going to make it easier to try to teach him too

[@israelserna1773]

So cool 😎

[@eddieheussler4643]

So, I'm getting back into fishing again after 35 p!us years and I stumbled across this channel. Love this guy And his tips. By watching one video I already know more then I did in my many younger years of fishing combined...txxxx!

[@AddictedFishing]

Awesome to hear! Good luck out there.

[@chrisblood4175]

Always like a reminder on the basics; it been so long since I’ve been trout fishing.

[@Carolinafishingtales]

I love these tutorial videos like this one. I've been fishing for a long time, but I have learned so much on here and have learned new ways to fish for trout. Thank you guys so much !

[@206bGoss]

Just started fishing with my 5yo son and these videos are so well done. As said before, thanks much for showing how to set everything up. Keep up the good work, you're making some very happy kids and proud parents out there!

I just found your channel through Instagram thank you for everything you do. I started fishing like a month ago and want to take my son out. You have an amazing way of showing us exactly what one needs and it gives me confidence to go out there and fish.

[@joshuaparent-bb3lx]

this channel is the only reason why i catch fish. when i first got into fishing i watched this channel and caught a 13 inch trout and a 14inch trout.

[@asddsagogoolpower]

Nice video, a lot of content covered, no unnecessary talking just straight to the points!

[@berlyn1187]

This is the content I was looking for! Thank you! My daughter wants to get into fishing and I am just about clueless

[@robertbell3500]

If your noticing bites that don't followup switch to a egg weight or some sort of sliding weight rather than split shot. The fish can feel the resistance from dragging those weights on the bottom. The sliding weight will be less resistance when they strike

[@johnbray8855]

I've never seen power bait used with a split shot. Egg weights only here. Maybe he was in a pinch.....

[@FishinSouthern]

Great video bud I’m new to trout fishing since I live in alabama I’m limited where I can catch them but now that I have I’m addicted 😂

[@rbrtmllr]

Excellent video, and thanks for the littering comment. This was a great refresher, after a 30 year break from trouting, to start teaching the kids.

[@kimhoward1525]

Your videos are the best! I've attended two of the 101 Salmon Steelheading fishing conferences, with Marlon in PDX , pre- Covid. Love my Addicted sweatshirt-excellent quality. I target steelhead and salmon, but added Trout/w/boat this year. Your videos inspired my 28 year old -so thx now, I have to fight him from taking off with my boat. Keep the videos coming, Love you guys!

[@joaquinleonard3921]

Awesome video guys! Just wanted to add a Suggestion for another video on how to use the drop shot technique for trout or the mini jig technique.

[@psychronautron]

Excellent and concise. Just started up again for the first time since fishing as a kid and this is immensely helpful. Awesome to find after reading a bunch of guides where it seems like people just want to rant about their gear/experience. Meanwhile this gave me a few simple methods with just enough theory so I can begin to reason about it a little more in depth on my own. Cheers!

[@josotelo1334]

Great video. I fished for the first time today and had no idea what I was doing. I feel like I actually stand a chance on catching a fish tomorrow, thanks to you

[@patriot1902]

My grandparents loved to trout fish. They'd use the same bait set-up with the long leader for worms. BUT, They had a hypo needle that They'd pump a little air into the worm so it floated off the bottom and still wiggled. Worked every time.

[@AddictedFishing]

Great tip!

Haven't fished in about 10 years and wanting to get back into it your video refreshed my memory. As well gave me some new tips. Thanks

[@jameskimejr9062]

Good video for beginners. But I've been trout fishing for62 years. I use browning ultralight 5 ft.rods with 4 lb.test Berkeley mono. Don't waste money on lures or power bait all we use is miniature marshmallows on a #8 long shank hook. Put a bead on your line about 3ft above the hook with a 1/4 or 1/2 Oz slip sinker. Cast out lay down the rod in a holder or stick , take a real small bobber and pull in a little line attach bobber, let it hang just above the ground. Fish hits bobber will go up the line, if it comes to the bank the bobber will drop. I take a paper clip,straighten it hang on line other end clip on bobber. I catch 200 trout each year before memorial day in pa. If they aren't bitting that well add a meal worm to the marshmellow.

[@55Warlike]

I have never seen a better way to spool a reel thank you!

[@jamesprice113]

youre the best I've seen on KZbin for fishing tips and how to's thanks man !!

[@gr0uch02a]

Excellent video! One thing I'd add is that when spooling the reel, make sure the line is oriented such that the line is coming from the bottom of the spool so that it will match the way it's going on the reel, else it will nearly jump off the reel.

[@deaconfrost796]

[@Jim-vi4hh]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with your viewers. I have fished for trout for more than 50 years, primarily stocked trout in reservoirs. I just had an "ah ha" moment when you tied on a barrel swivel rather than using a snap swivel. I no longer need to store hooks with tied leaders! This will be much easier for organization in my tackle boxes! One question is what are your thoughts on the use of a sliding sinker above the swivel rather than split shot when using floating power bait? Thanks again!

[@royceparkjr5559]

Very good tips on how to get started trout fishing. I did notice that you called the Berkley PowerBait Floating Mice Tails something different though. You called them worms. There are Berkley PowerBait Floating Worms too. I like using the mouse tails the best. A top water floating softbait or a popper are fun to try if you like being active during fishing. Use a snagless setup in grassy areas to avoid getting stuck and/or losing your artificial bait. Good luck all...

[@bobcasteel7811]

A little different concept! I love it!

[@Jbergrion]

You remind me so much of my good buddy from high school. Love your vids

[@JasonCarrara]

I appreciate the how 2s. I live in vt and am lucky enough to have a few good location options for trout within 10 min from my house. I've been watching your vids now for a few days I've already improved my experience quite a bit. Can't wait to get float fishing in the river down. Will save me a lot of tackle and aggravation. Gonna start with bait then move onto flies. Can't wait!
