That's pretty accurate. 🤣

Pailin brought me here, nice video Sir.

Nice video from the catching to the cooking. Your love of fishing is captured really well. Thanks Rod and Kitty!

[@ianl.4470]

Great to see you guys making videos during these pandemic times! I caught my first trout of the season from an urban lake after 2 very slow hours of fishing - I was shaking too! I'm sure it was from being stuck indoors for so long. Nice to see all those recipes, I'm getting bored with my standard salt pepper and dill weed butter pan fry!

[@FishingwithRod]

Thank you Ian! We are always craving for new recipes.

That fish did not budge when she first hooked it, it looked like a snag for sure. Both of us were pretty nervous because it was ten minutes into the trip. 😆

[@HelloEllie2023]

[@AkumaNiisan]

is it weird to say that i think it's so great to see someone like kitty enjoying stuff like this? i'm 5'0", tiny and asian but i love fish and have a degree in fisheries and aquatic sciences, but it's rare i see people like me (short and female) enjoying this pastime. cheers rob and kitty you have a new subscriber!

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks Tammy! Not weird at all! I think more people, especially more female anglers, should enjoy this and show that they are enjoying this. 🙂 Our goal is to get more people to fish like yourself and Kitty, so we can create more stewards of the resources. If people use it, they’ll care about it. 😊

Thanks! That's the amazing feature of our interior lakes. They are highly productive. Just think how many chironomids were actually emerging from the mud bottom if every fish's stomach was like that.

Came here after your guest stint on Pailin’s channel where she cooked the beautiful Salmon/ trout? you caught. 🌸 Watching from Singapore 🇸🇬

[@FishingwithRod]

Thank you Shan! I used to visit Singapore quite often when growing up as I travelled between Australia and Taiwan all the time. Beautiful part of the world, hopefully I will be able to return one day.

[@shano897]

Fishing with Rod Not sure when you were here last but Singapore has changed tremendously...more & more beautiful🌺 It’s become a Smart Nation now with dominance in high technology. Life here is fast-paced; that’s why watching your fishing expeditions allows me to de-stress! Fishing is so SLOW-paced🤣 We certainly would welcome you back...but currently the mandatory 14-day quarantine for all incoming citizens and visitors from overseas is in place. If you plan for a future visit here, drop me a heads up😊.

[@sweetcakes3706]

I love the entertainment and educational aspects that you and Kitty bring to your channels. Thank you! I would have never imagined that trout could be such gluttons for chironomids. Coming up from the Seattle area back in the 80’s on a road trip, I drove up the Coquihalla Highway and remember camping on and fishing this lake but can’t remember the name of it. I caught and released a five pound Rainbow and remember an old timer saying how impressed he was. He had never seen an American release a large trout before. Lol!!! Keep the lines tight, Rod.

[@FishingwithRod]

Thank you so much! 😊 We will keep bringing more videos to everyone. It’s good to know that people get something out of them. 🙂

Rod & Kitty, thank you so much for sharing. Love your videos! I have one question: do you guys think gear fishing could achieve the same or very close results as using flies with indicators? Maybe using weighted floats? Thank you!!

[@FishingwithRod]

Yep! You can use a float fishing setup with the fly and have similar success for sure! I did a tutorial on this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5OUZaGDo66mars

Nice fish guys can I come next time very rare to see a fish like that in Arizona they do exist here though👍

[@FishingwithRod]

Lots of trout fisheries like this up here in British Columbia. We have roughly around 800 lakes with these opportunities. 😊

[@BasicFishingNZ]

gr8 catch on the trout and awesome dish at the end.it was amazing to see inside the stomach of that trout. pretty amazing how much prey the trout can find seeing how small they were. wat were those things that the trout ate? insect larvae of some sort? hope u guys r safe and sound from the covid

[@FishingwithRod]

Those are chironomid pupae emerging from the lake mud bottom. These fish have only one job during the day, which is to eat as much as they can. The amount of pupae in the stomach indicates how productive the lake is. 😊

[@meeleetee8530]

Love to see her expression! How fun!

[@meeleetee8530]

Wow!! It is amazing!! Please let me know where you caught trout. I live in Vancouver, but i just caught small size at Buntzen lake.

[@FishingwithRod]

There are many lakes around Merritt and Kamloops which offer trout fisheries like this. My suggestion is to head over to www.gofishbc.com and do a search for lakes in Region 3, and check out some of our other videos, plus browse through our lake fishing guide at www.fishingwithrod.com.

[@bagustiyudi9620]

Its wonderfull....

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks!

[@Desaulniersjoel]

Another great video guys. Question for you from an interior fisherman- how did you find the trout in regards to any “muddy” taste? That is one deterrent for me from keeping at a number of our smaller land locked lakes around Kamloops. I often used a dry brine and smoke my trout (fillets) with great results.

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks! Most of the rainbow trout I've tried have been very good with very little "muddy" taste to them. I had a terrible batch of brookies about 15 years ago at one lake for some reason. I was so excited to eat them but as soon as I took a bite, it tasted like I had stuck my tongue into a bowl of mud... It's very seasonal and regional too for sure. I like to only keep fish from lakes with relatively clear water and early in the season. What I do find have consistently to have a fairly strong "lake" taste is kokanee... I pretty much stop targeting and retaining them in the lakes I have fished, especially that I am lucky enough to have good access to salmon down here.

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

I ate one and thought it was pretty decent.

[@hendy4584]

Must be a hoot fishing with Kitty, she's got this kid like excitement about her and your Covid hair seems to be coming in nicely, gonna have a nice mullet in no time. Got a legit belly laugh when the smoke alarm went off and Kitty said oh s**t. BTW my wife bakes steelhead from time to time for us and makes a dipping sauce similar to the mayo, dill and brown sugar mix. No sugar in it though and it's delish.

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks for the recipe Steve! Yep we have a lot of fun filming together. :) Thanks for watching!

[@ceceegwite1022]

Pai's kitchen brought me here, you seem to be a nice person and for the love of fishing(though i really didnt have the chance to fish) i subs.to you channel. By the way why is it that you released some of the fish caught??

[@FishingwithRod]

Thank you Cecee! 😄 We sometimes release the fish because there is a limit on how many fish you can keep (and sometimes how big the fish have to be), so those are called mandatary releases. Sometimes, we also just release the fish because we don't really want to keep more even though we are allowed to. At this particular lake, you can keep up to five trout per day per person which is a generous limit, so we usually just keep a couple of fish for ourselves.

[@michaellengert9407]

[@rafabonati7757]

Just had a successful day fishing from a canoe for wild brook trout in the Adirondack Mountains. Last year, a male loon stole a fish right out of my hands with his mate on the nest nearby. This year, the same pair of loons nesting in exactly the same place. He hung around the canoe somewhat, but didn’t try any shenanigans this time!

[@tiborciopayotenyo1626]

Are they allowed to use Bait or just a artificial bait? Thankyou!

[@FishingwithRod]

TIBORCIO PaYoTenYo It depends on which lake. Most urban lakes which I mentioned allow the use of bait. It’d say in the regulations.

[@Jack-rf7kq]

If I did the same thing on Courtney lake Or a lake near there but just dropped a small worm off the side of the boat to the right depth would I catch some?

[@FishingwithRod]

Bait would certainly work if it is allowed. At lakes like Courtney, there is a bait ban so you'd need to check the regulations before deciding to use worm. With that said, using flies to imitate what these fish are feeding on works way more effectively than using bait in the spring months.

[@Jack-rf7kq]

Fishing with Rod ok thanks!

[@daveporter4667]

Is that a public or private lake? Can you use the trolling motor for trolling or it is illegal? I am asking because I try to understand BC fishing rules. Tight lines.

[@FishingwithRod]

Hi Dave, lakes stocked by the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC are all public, there are very few private/pay-to-fish lakes in this province. All you need to have is a valid freshwater fishing licence to enjoy these fisheries. Motor restrictions vary from lake to lake. Some lakes have no restrictions on motor size, others may have a speed restriction, or electric motor only, while some small lakes do not allow motors at all. If there are restrictions, they can be found under each lake in the freshwater fishing regulations.

[@daveporter4667]

@@FishingwithRod Thank you for previous answer. To fish mackerel with a rod in Vancouver docks, do I need a fishing license?

[@FishingwithRod]

You need a fishing licence to fish anywhere (with the exceptions of private lakes). You will not catch mackerel in Vancouver, or anywhere in BC actually. They are only found on the West Coast of Vancouver Island occasionally during years when warmer ocean current brings them to inshore waters.

Fishing with Rod thanks

What lake are you guys fishing

[@FishingwithRod]

We were fishing at one of the lakes near Merritt BC. There are dozens of them to choose from in the area and all of them can produce fishing results like this, but it all depends on the weather conditions.

[@derek6284]

I thought it was pretty obvious which lake this was

[@sparkyvator7802]

@@derek6284 wouldn't have asked if it was

Lundbom

Bobbers swiveles and split shots. Why not just use a spinning rod? I love how fly fishing is evolving🤣

[@FishingwithRod]

It's basically bobber fishing with a fly rod, there's no shame on calling it that. 😜 It works well with the spinning outfit too, but definitely more fun with the fly setup and I do find that you end up with more bites with it.

[@se-outdoors]

you guys are making me hungry..... uh and Kitty, next time a piece of bone is stuck in your throat, try a spoon full of rice and just swallow it rather than chewing. :)

[@FishingwithRod]

Good idea!!
