Right on ! Ive not ever caught Bows on bucktails. But then I onky fish em when I'm fast trolling back to the beer store. 🍺. Lol. Nice video.

[@ChipsMcC]

I'm so grateful for being able to grow up fishing the shuswap. The best reason to live in Salmon Arm is the 'shuswap.

[@compasshelitours8824]

Beautiful rainbows on a not so beautiful day! Glad you two made the most of the foul weather weekend! Great video!

[@FishingwithRod]

The weather wasn't much prettier up there that day. ;) Hopefully the weather works out for us soon!

[@al.trzy_blu.e]

another pleasurable video adventure! Thank you both Rod and Kitty for your awesome fishing spirits!!! :) very motivational!

[@FishingwithRod]

Thank you alTreezy! :D

[@mosshark]

Interesting fishing technique.. fast, surface trolling, big flies, in fairly rough, open water.. for rainbows.. you could do the same set-up in the ocean for tuna lol

[@FishingwithRod]

It's pretty much just a mini version of tuna trolling lol... ;)

[@austinmandl4282]

Absolutely love your vids man! Keep up the good work!!

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks!

[@justinsoutham8500]

Awesome video! I always love it when I see a youtube notification for a Fishing with Rod video. 😃

[@FishingwithRod]

Hehe awesome. Thanks for watching!

[@samhilverink3695]

Great video rod really want to hook into a big rainbow this weekend

[@MrKveite1]

I wish i could clone kitty and use the clones to replace a lot of the whimpy girls that hide on the sofa under a blanket when the temp drops below 90f. She is good looking and she can fish and she isnt afraid to go out even if the weather is a little cold and rough:) and the video is good as usual showing off quite an unusual way of fishing for most people.Good stuff:)

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks! She appreciates the comment. :)

[@MrKveite1]

Yw, both of you. Even if i enjoy watching her i also enjoy watching you wether she is there or not because your videoes feel genuine and not like so many wannabe 'hollywoobproductions' with loud annoying music and guys sounding like they hit the big lottery for every fish no mather the size an 'slipping' the name of whatever bait they use every 8 sec. You let me see things as they are or as close to as possible instead of overdoing everything like if your life was depending on it.I really appreciate that...

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks for the kind words! :) I'm glad you and few others enjoy the different approach we try to do compared to other shows! :)

[@Tagcabosportfishing]

Keep up the good work!!

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks!

[@ChipsMcC]

Great video, this is my home lake, I feel lucky to have this experience at my fingertips. Everyone should co.e here at least once. And as a Last hint to what I've learned to run, green or black apex, clear belly ( not white, opaque ). You figure the rest;)

[@FishingwithRod]

Pretty awesome lake for sure!

[@GorillatagForever]

U guys are awesome

[@mclarke75]

Hey guys! Love all your vids. What rods and reels are you using on this trip? Those almost look like fly reels. I'm interested in getting a similar trolling set up. Thanks!!

[@FishingwithRod]

Hi Matty, thanks. The rods used in this video are Shimano Convergence CVSM90ML2B spinning rods. They have unfortunately been discontinued, but still listed on the website. You might be able to find them in a store still if they are being shelved at the back. These are excellent spinning rods IMO so it's too bad they are no longer being manufactured. Those reels are indeed fly reels. We just spooled them with mono to go on the spinning rods.

[@handwedge11]

Great video - Can I ask what weight rod you use? And what kind of line? (Sinking, I assume). Thanks

[@FishingwithRod]

Those rods are in fact Shimano spinning rods which unfortunately have been discontinued around ten years ago. Rod just had fly reels on those rods to keep things more entertaining. If I remember correctly, the main lines were mono.

[@barndawg8143]

Are you allowed 6 rods in the Shuswap for 3 people?

[@FishingwithRod]

Nope, one rod each.

[@Calgaryifacation]

Great vid Rod and Katie! What arm were you all fishing? The narrows? Closer to the Adams and Shuswap rivers?

[@FishingwithRod]

We were fairly close to Sicamous. :)

[@JayAgassiz]

Thanks tor the vid looks like fun, was the set up on full sink lines Rod?

[@FishingwithRod]

The fly reels were spooled with mono actually, and we used 9' Shimano light spinning rods to go with them.

[@bikedeefer]

What is that collapsible rod that Rodney H. pulls in after the fish hits at about 7:50? Something to space out the lines?

[@FishingwithRod]

Yeah it was just a extended pole with a Scotty clip at the end to space the two outer rods away from the boat.

[@paulshaw5119]

6 RODS!! Commercial fishing------yuk!!!

[@FishingwithRod]

Four rods actually, but ok.

[@scottedwards33]

Looks like a fun trip. What's the advantage to using those single action reels vs a regular conventional trolling reel?

[@FishingwithRod]

Most anglers in BC tend to stick with single action reels especially for trolling not because it's easier or gives them an advantage, but it's more fun to play the fish that way. You can certainly use a spinning reel or levelwind for this type of fishing and there'd be nothing wrong with that. :)

[@scottedwards33]

Thanks. I've never been to BC but I noticed from TV fishing shows and your videos that the single actions seem to be very popular there.

[@FishingwithRod]

Yeah we are strange over here. ;)

[@scottedwards33]

ha!

[@matthewmccarthy312]

4mph?

[@graceydeluca6152]

when did you film this video rod?

[@FishingwithRod]

[@mikeboston421]

can you show us the bucktails you used?

[@northwestangler5792]

First comment

[@BlahBlah-ut4fc]

Rod... I gotta ask. How do you get girls into fishing?

[@FishingwithRod]

Well... You shower them with gifts and money of course... ;) Just kidding. Getting girls into fishing, or anyone actually, takes patience and understanding. Picking the correct fishery to start out with is important so the novice people you are taking out would not be overwhelmed, and can actually enjoy whatever they are doing. Making sure the essentials are available, food, warmth, washrooms, are pretty important and always on top of my list. Check out the Q&A video we did from January this year, it talks about this particular subject actually.

[@glengrumpy]

How many rods in the water.? Did you keep fish then keep fishing?

[@FishingwithRod]

glen h 4 rods and yep!

[@glengrumpy]

If you kept a rainbow and then continued to fish for rainbow you are illegally fishing.

[@FishingwithRod]

glen h I suggest you familiarize yourself with the regulations and stop assuming what goes on in the boat before commenting further.

[@glengrumpy]

I'll just leave this here and stop watching www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/environment/natural-resource-stewardship/natural-resource-law-enforcement/conservation-officer-service/cos-rapp

[@FishingwithRod]

Good, stop. Since you cannot be bothered looking up the regs and before spouting off, here is a quick overview. Unless you're retaining steelhead, anglers can continue fishing and practicing catch and release if they wish to after retaining their daily quota. Again, I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the freshwater fishing regulations in this province before heading out.

[@graceydeluca6152]

k thanks rod

[@FishingwithRod]

Anytime!
