The best part is when Kitty calls you out for your loose drag, Rod! Don't think that we haven't noticed that over the years! 😉👏

[@FishingwithRod]

[@chemecal01]

Wow...those were some hogs! Beautiful production. Thank you Rod and Kitty.

[@FishingwithRod]

Thank you for watching! 😃

[@mikelozeau695]

Rod, I've been watching and learning from you for many years. I watch your videos new and old to brush up on my knowledge depending on the time of year and targeted species. Kitty, I've learnt from, and watched you grow as a fisher woman for around four or five years. The quality of your videos, the humor, wisdom, and chemistry in your videos are un matched, and continue to improve. Currently one of the best BC related fishing shows/series available in my opinion. Keep up the great work both of you, and thank you for the entertainment while sharing a wealth of diverse fishing wisdom.

[@FishingwithRod]

Thank you for the kind words Mike! Very happy to hear that. :)

[@RGutz81]

Hella funny how Kitty pulled the line to check the drag. Lol!!!! Luv it!!!

[@FishingwithRod]

Busted! 😆 In my defence, that rod was bent to the cork and I had to really loosen that drag, but it wasn’t my reel so I had no idea what the tension was. 😅

[@RGutz81]

@@FishingwithRod as long as you guys landed it, its all good. Plus love seeing the joy u guys have just jabbing at each other. Fishing with people that have act similarly and are having fun are such a joy to watch and such a joy to fish with. Tight lines brah!!!

[@FishingTheOdds]

loved the vibe in this video! warm feeling. great job on the edit

[@FishingTheOdds]

Shot in the dark but I would love to come up to you and do a KZbin collab one of these days! Just have a solid time and catch some fish 🤙

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks! Yep collabs are always being considered when opportunities come up. :)

[@FishingTheOdds]

Fishing with Rod right on keep me in mind! I’m the near future I’d be willing to fly that way and get on some salmon or steelhead!

[@Adventurewithnhia]

wow what a lovely fish, congrats on the big lake trout Rod.

[@FishingwithRod]

Thank you!

[@donaldnaymon3270]

Awesome video. Great looking trip. So beautiful there. Wow what a experience. Thank you for sharing.

[@FishingwithRod]

You're welcome Donald. Thank you for watching!

[@johannatweer1957]

Thank you Rod. You both shared with us some great footage and awesome fish. Memories for a lifetime. For many of us,for one reason or another...your vids are like journeys into the past of what we have experienced, and also of dreams of what may lie ahead. Simply awesome...thank you.

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks Johanna! That’s exactly what we try to do! 😃 Editing these videos is like story telling, love it!

[@patrotchford5542]

That laker was growling!!! Great job guys

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks Pat!

[@wadesmith7041]

That is awesome please take me next time I have never been to Canada lake trout and sausage looks delicious

[@FishingwithRod]

It was definitely a very special trip, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@bparrish517]

Down in southern USA and can’t comprehend you’re bundled for cold weather. Honestly, it’s August. Oh well, just wanted to send you and Kitty appreciation and encouragement to continue showing us more of BC.

[@FishingwithRod]

It was surprisingly colder when we were there that week, usually it should be a bit warmer. It felt more like fall than summer. The summer in the Yukon Territory is quite short to begin with. That day it was hovering around 10C/50F most of the day, colder at the beginning of the day and quite comfortable by the time we finished (balmy 55F).

[@FishingwithRod]

And thanks for watching as always!

[@walden6272]

Good job, guys! That was a beautiful place to fish. And those lake trout are HUGE!

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks! :)

[@minkos61]

Awesome Awesome Awesome great vid .Thanks Kitty and Rod

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks Ernie! More to come next week 😀

[@skylazart]

Hello Rod, can’t wait for that. I’m at home suffering with back pain result from falling while fishing... so all I can do is watch and dream :)

[@FishingwithRod]

Hey Felipe, wish you a quick recovery and in the meantime I hope the videos help! :)

[@RealisticFishing]

Why doesn't the 3/4 oz jig sink to 80 ft?

[@FishingwithRod]

We were drifting with the wind/current so at that pace it wasn’t going to get down or stay down at that depth.

[@bugpumper]

Another great video!! This brought back some great memories of my one Yukon trip in 94. Thanks Rodney and Kitty!!!!

[@FishingwithRod]

😃

[@andrewwood4013]

Rod and Kitty, that was really great. The storytelling, tempo, and production just right. Looking forward to the next adventure.Thanks 👏👏👏

[@FougereFamilyAdventures]

Well done you two. I just started jigging for lake trout this summer and it's a lot of fun. That looked like the perfect shore lunch. Another great video!

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks Fougeres! 😃 You got some pretty awesome lake trout lakes up that way for jigging, I need to come up for that again!

[@FougereFamilyAdventures]

@@FishingwithRod we have lots of great lake trout lakes throughout the province. It's sometimes difficult to decide where to go.

[@FishingwithRod]

Not a bad problem to have sometimes. 😉

[@FougereFamilyAdventures]

@@FishingwithRod this is true. Drawing a lake name tonight 😁

man im so jealous. the beautifull fish and the landscape its just so nice!

[@FishingwithRod]

Just being in the Yukon was so relaxing! It’s such an amazing part of Canada. So untouched, yet full of natural and human history behind the land. We learn so much everytime we visit it. 😊

[@langsfishingadventures7507]

I want to go there!!!! Great video!!

[@donalddakota8069]

Hey you two that was cool! The smiles on everyone's face showed what a great time you all had. Just wondering, how did you two end up doing these fishing video's together? Always enjoy them! Thanks and take care.

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks Donald! I've known Kitty's husband since he was little kid and she came out to one of my trips around six years ago. Since then we've teamed up to film and it has worked pretty well overall. Glad to hear that you enjoy them! More to come. 🙂

You should go fishing in Campbell River at the Campbell or quinsam River.

👍

But definitely the best part 😊 food!

[@FishingwithRod]

I totally agree!

[@wuquanchi]

Thank you Rod for the amazing and inspiring video. I would like to share my experience today in the Whitehorse area. For those who are fishing in the Whitehorse area nowadays, 08/28/20, today I was at Hidden Lake 2. I tried every possible lure and I could get only one hit not landed. there were other guys fishing using deep rig, classic powerbait, they also couldn't get any fish from 6 pm to 9 pm. A quick fishing report without a fish :) hopefully, I will catch something before I return to lower mainland :)

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks Volkan! Enjoy the rest of your stay in Whitehorse! Such a lovely town to be in.

[@wuquanchi]

@@FishingwithRod We were very lucky to see northern lights at Lake Laberge Camping area. I fished for only one hour from the boat lunch spot and it was no to avail between 8pm to 9 pm. I also tried Scout Lake, amazing crystal clear water, and could land a very small Kokanee, not a wild one, from the bottom with 30 gr metal jig. It takes 12 seconds to find bottom. Now it is 7 celsius degree and we enjoyed our Latte and blueberry scone at BAKED Cafe and Bakery. Best I ever tasted :) We have collected amazing memories here. Due to weather conditions, we had to cancel our canoe trip from Whitehorse to taking river :( Anybody can search for Canoe People downtown. Thanks so much again ROD.

[@FishingwithRod]

That sounds like a great trip! I still need to see Northern light up there!

[@wuquanchi]

@@FishingwithRod Another reason for you to go there again :) Finally we got home BC again, a happy tiredness.

[@alexdunham3152]

As someone who grew up living very close to the hidden lakes in Riverdale, they are very very picky when it comes to bait. Usually you want to go with a fly/bobber set up with a black fly or something bright or with a bright green/orange sinner or spoon. hope it helps and good luck!

[@amysfishingadventuresforki6300]

Cracking fishing

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks for watching Amy! 😊

[@2-old-Forthischet]

I keep telling my GF about big bait for big fish. So far I hold the record between us by two ounces! The first time I caught a large trout, it didn't taste very good. It was too dry so now we release the big ones to make more babies.

[@FishingwithRod]

Yep! The larger ones are indeed important spawners which are responsible for the recruitment of these wild populations so it’s best to put them back. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@ChipDarby13]

That looks so fun! Never fished lake trout, but caught a few big bull trout which kinda look similar. Wonder if they taste similar?🤔

[@FishingwithRod]

Not sure actually. The first time I ate lake trout was a couple months ago at Deka Lake. I wrapped the fillet in foil and seasoned with salt, lemon pepper, butter and it was surprisingly good.

[@nguye71]

I love your videos by the way!! I learned so much from your videos and thank you. Can I ask the name of the red/orange plastic fish lure you guys where using again? What’s the weight on that please?

[@FishingwithRod]

Thank you Tan! I’m glad to hear that I’ve been able to help. Those swim baits are called Power Paddles made by Gibbs Delta Tackle. 🙂 www.gibbsdelta.com/products/power-paddle

[@Walker82kg]

Hello was fishing Vedder today seen some people pull some chinooks and some coho been watching you coho videos over the next month you think my best bet in Vedder is floating roe or spoon been trying both today no luck and do mesh roe bags work and should they be big ball or small please help I wanna catch my first salmon

[@FishingwithRod]

The season is still early, the river is low and fish are finicky. Both methods work, one works better than the other one under certain conditions. My recommendation is to keep trying until you figure out what types of water are best for float fishing and for lure fishing. It does take awhile but once you get it, it gets a lot easier.

[@Walker82kg]

Thank appreciate any help what's your opinion on mesh roe bags or is it better to use bait loop knots

[@FishingwithRod]

I preference is roe chunks in loop, but both would work.

[@rafabonati7757]

Wait, you have Tim Tams in Canada? I had them in Australia. Yummy! Should have figured it since you are cousins. Since I live only a few kilometers from Quebec, next time we are allowed in, I will check out the grocery store. Tim Tams!!! Glad you both landed Lakers.

[@FishingwithRod]

You can't buy Tim Tams in the US??? Tim Tams are readily available here, at just about all the large grocery stores, but only two flavours, sometimes three are available. When I was in Melbourne last October, I brought back ten different flavours haha.... and they were half of the price of the ones here.... I need to post up this Tim Tam video from this trip which Kitty filmed.

[@rafabonati7757]

I have never seen them here. I just looked it up online and there is a site that states they are finally available in the US. They have a store finder, but it’s NOT WORKING! It’s an Aussie company so not surprised their website isn’t working. Ha. Maybe you need to ship me some. I can trade you some home grown jalapeño peppers or a butternut squash (pumpkin).

[@FishingwithRod]

We will start a Tim Tam smuggling... oops I meant export/import business. 😜

[@dragonflytoo]

When the trout burped, is that because it came from so deep down? If so, are there special ways to get him back down to its depth safely, like in the ocean?

[@FishingwithRod]

Unlike rockfish in the ocean, lake trout don’t really have the expanded air bladder, but barotrauma is indeed a concern for them too. When they burp like that, it gets all the air out and definitely helps them to get back down to the depth a lot more easily. One thing which we tried to do was to bring the fish up slowly, so they can adjust to the pressure as they come up. This definitely helps a lot.

[@bilboslaughter2229]

Do you know if there are any lakes on Vancouver Island with lake trout ? Never caught one

[@FishingwithRod]

No lake trout on the island. Quite a few lakes in the Cariboo and Okanagan offer lake trout fisheries.

[@csktre]

Great video as always rod!! Just wondering, have you ever considered doing an episode on the cutthroat fishing in some of the larger Vancouver Island lakes? 4-5lb fish aren't uncommon and there's lots of rumours of 10lbers

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks Carter! Yep we’ve thought about the bigger cutthroats in VI lakes for sure. One day!

[@gregfuzi1069]

They are talking about planting grayling in Michigan I hope so like to try some. Dont actually know when new some biologists in the northern lower Michigan I got a sticker from them for my bumper on my car .

[@FishingwithRod]

Cool stuff

[@toiynhac]

Yukon? Where is the next destination FWR Team? It looks like it's cold up there.

[@FishingwithRod]

Nothing to exotic planned for the rest of this year... 😄 Back to the local stuff which is what it’s all about. 🙂

[@AmyWright-u8i]

what lake is this?

[@CaidenBengert]

Where is the cabin

[@josephcaya9833]

So what was the name of the lake

[@FishingwithRod]

The name of the lake was

[@zzz7zzz9]

Zipit Lake.

[@bastykoye8726]

Donate and fishing never seen before lol

[@FishingwithRod]

🤔

[@snakeriverfisher]

was that "guide" using a spinning rod with a bait cast reel???surprised he didnt break it since the backbone is incorrect

[@FishingwithRod]

Yep we were, since we had to use what we got in the middle of nowhere in Yukon. 🙂 Lowell is not a guide, just a good friend who fishes regularly in the region.

[@AlohaMilton]

Leave the big fish, eat only those just over legal size, increases the 'large fish' DNA in the species gene pool over time. Self restraining selective predators can make the prey species larger healthier and more abundant. Also, at least with ocean fish, less mercury etc in your diet.

[@FishingwithRod]

Yukon has a slot size limit on its lake trout fisheries (as well as the pike fisheries). Specimens which are between 30 and 40 inches in length have to be released, while there is a daily limit on how many of the specimens under 30" or over 40" can be kept. While the large specimens can be kept, almost no one would do so as these are slow growing fish and the larger specimens are important for the recruitment of the populations.

[@dazad400]

I’m late sorry 😐

[@FishingwithRod]

It's never too late. ;)

[@andrewm6666]

Ya Rod! It's so fat!

[@FishingwithRod]

Definitely a fish which will not be forgotten anytime soon. 🙂
