FEISTY Winter River Rainbow Trout (Catch Clean Cook) - Bait Fishing the Spokane River

I meet up with a fellow Washington-based KZbinr, Steve, to go after some rainbow trout. We arrive at our final destination around noon which was very late, but the fishing did not disappoint. Good food, good company, good fishing, and good weather makes for a great day. Lake Roosevelt trout regulations are slightly different than most low land lakes in which I go over in the video. If you are fishing on Lake Roosevelt, you are only able to keep hatchery trout which can be identified by a clipped adipose fin. Any trout that still has its adipose fin is a wild trout and must be released.
Check out Steve's platforms!

super thorough presentation bro. that sausage looked fire....

[@nlvoutdoors5626]

Good catch.. you guys are lucky to have no ice during this time of the year. We got to wait until spring to do trout fishing.

[@SamongOutdoors]

Be happy you have ice! The ice here has been so inconsistent that we can't do any ice fishing. The good thing is that rivers don't freeze so it's a much more reliable spot to fish knowing the water is not frozen.

[@timberg7377]

Awesome guys

Looks fun man! My kind of fishing 🙌

I need to go do some ice fishing before we lose the little ice remaning here... lol

Looks like a #6 hook! When fishing 2 rods always use 2 different size leader to see which gets hit more!

[@cooltraineraaron4618]

Also, lakes are generally bodies of water with land on all sides whereas a river usually empties into seas and oceans. Hence the current in the Spokane

[@BC-ue3ku]

Nice fish guys. Been following Steve for awhile also, nice surprise seeing him in the video. 👍 also, I don’t mean to be a jerk but if you have to release the wild fish then letting them swallow powerbait and a treble hook, then dragging them up the river bank can’t be very good for their survival rate. I would advise anyone else fishing there to set the hook as quick as possible to avoid the hook getting down in the fish’s belly and using a net to land the fish. but hey they were all hatchery fish so it all worked out. Nice fighters too

[@exotic_kungfu638]

I wish I could go back fishing,Also where are you fishing at is it 4 of July? Keep up the good workman

[@Deepwatermissourifishing]

Where where you fishing at??? I’m in Spokane rn to see my fam, get to me soon pls

[@peterfabyanchuk1689]

When fishing for trout you should use marshmallows because they are very oily in the water and attract fish. I use it for trout in the Columbia river after Grand Coulee dam.

[@JJLake-km5vb]

Love your videos and more importantly love you are a man of God! How to you feel about flyfishing? It's challenging, but I'm try to get better.

[@josephnewman9175]

2 pound maxima leader is more than plenty! Iv caught 15 pound rainbows with that line! 4 pound main line. Try it and get way more strikes! When you get a bite let the line go limp in the water and wait to see it moving out quickly then set!

[@coloradocatchcleanandcook3426]

I'm curious to what you do when you have a wild trout swallow the hook? I'm assuming you still have to return the fish to the water but curiosity strikes as I live in Colorado where the laws may not be the same.

[@SamongOutdoors]

Yes, cut the line and release the trout. I have never caught a wild trout on powerbait though.

[@coloradocatchcleanandcook3426]

@@SamongOutdoors Thank you for the reply. You know now that you mention it I have never caught a wild trout on powerbait either but I guess that's not saying much as 95% pf my fishing is done in the rivers here not the lakes. Have a grate rest of your day.

[@kantill]

Have they cleaned up that river? When I lived there they wouldn't recommend eating the fish from the river. I used to get flyers in the mail warning us not to do so.

[@SamongOutdoors]

That just depends on which section of the river you're fishing on.

[@danhendry7496]

Eight or Nine years ago I know they brought tons of charcoal into the riverbed near felts field. My brother was doing security there at the time. My understanding is the charcoal at some.point gets removed. How effective and the details I dont know. Just know they put the charcoal in there and it was an attempt to clean up the system.

[@kantill]

@@SamongOutdoors just don't want you getting sick from eating the fish from that river. When I lived there, it really didn't matter what part of the river it was. From the Idaho side, you had people dumping mining waste into it. And once it reached Spokane lots of pollution was in that river. I lived down by the bowl and pitcher side near Bloomsday hill. I fished it a few times but never kept anything.

[@ifightnerdz1757]

@@kantill below 9 mile dam it gets much safer.

[@randaman7098]

Always great when you post a video ! Just one point on this one, maybe not a good idea to drag a trout over the sand to then decide if it’s keepable, just sayin.

Curious as to where you see this? I don't release keepable fish when fishing with powerbait. Powerbait isn't the only thing. I think improper handling of the fish kills more released fish than anything else.
