This is one of the cleanest, most thorough, and pleasant to watch fishing videos I've ever seen. No annoying music or gratuitous brag footage!

[@99blackjaguar]

Thank you for this video, I haven't fished in 5 years and I needed a refresher and there are things I didn't even know. I was taught throw a hook, weight and bait on the line a hope for the best. I really appreciate the new knowledge. Do you have a video about lures?

I'm a long time fisherman, but I enjoyed this video. Kitty is a good teacher.

[@popitsa4124]

Happy to see a woman giving fishing instructions. When you use shrimp, do you use cooked or raw? I know you mention that you snack on them but i want to make sure. Thanks for a great tutorial.

[@MarktheMartian]

very cool deal Kitty. shimano are the best. so glad you mention barbless. it may be common up there but here in southern USA seems like nobody uses barbless. i'm always having to repeat it in hopes more people go barbless. it's way better for beginners cause it's easier to remove when the hook gets lodged and causes far less fish deaths. some other things i would suggest for beginners: 5 foot rods are easier to reach the end of the rod, for beginners the line often gets wrapped around the end of the rod. the slide float maybe superior but it's too complex for beginners, stationary spring floats are easier. also braid to mono is too complex for beginners they should just use straight mono. that said you've inspired me to make my own fishing for beginners video, haven't done that yet. so stay tuned for that. unfortunately the 'rona is still bad here in TX and my girlfriend has asthma so i've been extra careful staying home haven't gone fishing all year. my alaska trip which i had booked last year also recently got canceled. the city announced no out of state visitors. wah wah wah.... hahah keep ya posted

[@KittyKanhoffen]

Up here in BC I there are so many flows that require you to pinch your barbs before fishing. Even if I were allowed to use them I prefer not too just because we release 90% of our freshwater fish. There is nothing that kills me more than yanking a sticky hook out of a fishes face before trying to let it go. 😢

[@gregorystark4388]

This is amazingly informative :) thank you for making this. I just started going fishing for trout and picked up a Berkley Lightning Rod in the medium-light (6-12lbs line), would this be acceptable for trout?

[@KittyKanhoffen]

For trout yes! Some lakes have big fish.

[@4Runner123]

Thanks for the video really helps. When using tiny spoons do you recommend short rod like the g loomis ultra light you’re using or could I use a g loomis 6’8” light fast set up 4-8 lb? That’s what I was thinking of buying.

[@KittyKanhoffen]

I am glad that you found it helpful. It is very rare that I use spoons when I'm out on the lake. My go-to's are flies or bait. If I was going to toss a spoon I'd use a 6'8 fast set up at least. Then you could really whip it!

[@4Runner123]

@@KittyKanhoffen thank You for the reply... I just wasn’t sure if I should buy a ultra light rod or if light rod was going to cut it. Trying to buy just one rod to use for smaller and bigger trout. Learning lots watching your and Rod’s videos.

@@4Runner123 I don't own any ultra lights myself, a light fast action will do. Cover more ground which is nice.

Hi Kitty! Thank you so much for your channel. My four year old son has recently declared he wants me to take him fishing. Rice lake is the closest place to me but that lake you are at there seems like a better spot (Rice Lake is sooo busy now!). I really want my son to have a good first experience and I am totally inexperienced myself. I fished a few times at capilano river when i was a boy. Would you have any ideal places to take my 4-year old - any tips you may have!

[@carloscamberos6903]

Awesome video! Thanks!

[@wadewanner914]

Hi Kitty - when setting up the float I noticed that you don’t put a bead on in between the sliding weight and the swivel. Is there a need to put a bead at that spot to protect the weight hitting the swivel?

[@KittyKanhoffen]

Good observation Wade! I didn't, but I mean you totally could. I feel like I didn't add it in the video because it wasn't authentic to me, but it is something that Rod often does!! Thanks for watching!

[@blkaudiofan]

My go to braid to leader knot is the FG knot no matter what FG!

[@dragonflytoo]

I catch and release because I can't see well enough to cook and clean, and here's what I've figured out: Dough bait and a bunched up worm, the trout will swallow, which makes it really difficult to get there hook out. A piece of work, just over the eye down to the curve if the hook, hook exposed, gives me the opportunity to HOOK the fish, rather than them eating it. Thanks Kitty. I'm sharing you with "Women Fishing" it if the US. LOTS of Canadians in that page to!

[@KittyKanhoffen]

Thanks Syd for you support and feel free to share away! My most preferred way to fish lakes is from a boat and casting chironomids under an indicator. I find that bait fishing is best when you go their with intentions to keep, because a lot of the time they do end up swallowing the bait.

[@dragonflytoo]

[@thanehuesy8895]

Very helpful thanks a lot 😊

[@WhoppaPloppa]

I've found that when I use a bobber stop it tends to get stuck in the rod guides while casting. Do you have any tips to minimize or prevent this?

[@WhoppaPloppa]

@@FishingwithRod Thanks so much! I have always struggled with slip bobbers for this very reason and I think it would make a great short tutorial. Another potential topic (maybe even a series 😁) that I would love to see on either channel would be river fishing tips like where to cast, how to mend your line, or how to tell the water depth. I have always struggled with river fishing because there are so many variables. But, just remember this is your channel so first focus on what YOU want to show!

[@chrisb5289]

HI Kitty - for the float set-up, what stops the leader line and bait from just sitting on top of the surface of the water? I thought there should be a weight to bring the bait down under the water? Or does it depend on the leader material? I noticed you use a fluorocarbon leader. Does this material sink and pull the bait down to the desired depth? Great video - thanks!

[@aksyonov100]

Wow! Shimano Sahara for beginners?

[@KittyKanhoffen]

We've used dozens of reels over the last number of years of fishing. Very few have compared to Shimano. I would rather recommend something that I know will work very well for years (and has good re-sale value if you decide fishing isn't for you), then recommend a 50 dollar reel that could potentially only last a dozen trips. If I were to recommend another brand it would be Cabela's branded spinning reels. I hope this helps!

Hi Kitty, Can you please provide more details on the rod in this video. I have been looking for a 7ft spinning with Light Power and Fast action BUT cant seem to find anywhere. The only rod that matches these specs is the G.Loomis GLX trout rod TSR 862-2 GLX, which is way expensive. Please provide the model and make of the rod used in this video.

[@alanwebb9438]

Doesn't that paste you use float?

[@bcpioneer59]

I have never ever in 50 years of fishing used a leader unless behind a flasher or gang troll, what possible reason is there to not tie direct to line with lure or hook?

[@FishingwithRod]

The leader used in the float or bottom rig, is to separate the hook and the weight, and to have a different test strength than the main line. For lure fishing, if your main line is monofilament and you are happy with it, then you can certainly tie the lure directly to it. We prefer to use braided line and tie a section of fluorocarbon leader to it before the lure as shown in the video.

[@shedmusic735]

@@FishingwithRod Why do you choose braided vs monofilament?

[@FishingwithRod]

@@shedmusic735 i began using braided instead of monofilament as my main line in 2014. I like it because it is a lot thinner for the same breaking strength, which allows me to cast better. Because it does not stretch, I've also seen my hook-up rate increased significantly. Finally, it is low maintenance, I have yet to change the braided line I spooled on one reel in 2014 and I use it regularly.
