MY BIGGEST RAINBOW TROUT EVER! JUNGLE MONSTER TROUT | FISHING WITH ROD

[@FishingwithRod]

We have some older videos that feature bass fishing but nothing recently, however there is a bass fishing feature coming out in the near future so please stay tuned. :)

[@FirewaII33]

I started learning about hardware tossing on your site Rod. Then as I progressed to flying, your site is and always was a part of my learning. I have to say, after everything I have learned, the number one priority to me, is the Fish. As long as they are safe and relatively unharmed, Im happy. One of the reasons I love your site and videos, is because YOU care as well. Ive seen too many fish that need minutes of reviving to take off. But when you let yours go, he took off as all C&R fish should.

[@drumznfishes]

Hi Rod! I'm loving the video. I'm an avid stillwater guy, spending between 50-60 days a year chasing big trout in lakes, primarily Henrys Lake in Idaho. I have a couple of tips that might boost your catch rate. #1 Use a 6weight on this lake.. helps keeps em outa the snags! 2x Flourocarbon leader helps too ( if allowed) #2 Keep your rod tip in the water while stripping. It increases your sensitivity to strikes. Great video! Thanks for making this and posting.

[@FishingwithRod]

Yeah this is our best trip so far. The weather was cool but not terrible. We had a tarp and campfire set up by the lake so every now and then we could come in, warm up and relax before going out to catch more fish again... ;)

[@Michigananglingadventures]

Great vid! I give you credit for not getting mad after losing that nice fish! If i had lost a fish like that there would not be a working fishing rod in my boat lol.

[@kelvinjess121409]

I had to subscribe to your channel all of the tips that you give about trout fishing have helped me a lot. I just recently started to get into trout fishing and the tips that you give in your videos have improved my fishing. Thanks for the videos.

[@NicholasErlerFish]

Some of the best experiences I've had fly fishing are the ones that got away like that. The tone in your voice when that fish went under the snag was one I know well :) Thanks for all the great videos!

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks. The prices are listed on Ruddocks Ranch actually. There are also customized group rates for those who want to book the entire lake to themselves, which is pretty much what we did so you have to email Kevin directly for that.

[@mrbloodybob]

Rod, I like your style. Ruddocks is heaven on earth, only 3 hours from downtown. I want to live there.

[@247OutdoorAddiction]

that was an epic battle. Thanks for sharing.

[@micahgee]

Great footage, tips, scenery and fish! One of the better fishing channels on youtube for sure :)

[@FishingwithRod]

This is a catch and release fishery. We release fish at waters where they are required to be released, and keep fish occasionally when we are allowed to do so.

[@FishingwithRod]

Yes I do. In fact we did quite a bit of trolling during this trip when we didn't want to anchor and fish. We have been thinking about doing a trolling video lately. :)

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks! Lots of Aussies come here to travel, work and play. ;)

[@kenbobca]

Nice fish! The one that got away was really BIG!

[@FishingwithRod]

+Ken Karnes It sure was... Thanks for watching!

[@kenbobca]

You make Great videos. Thank you.

[@josephbarritt1289]

+Fishing with Rod Man your so chill if that happened to me I would have been swearing alot

[@FishingwithRod]

Those cutthroat trout in Sakinaw Lake are offsprings of stocks that were released up to the late 1980s and are definitely fantastic gamefish. For coastal lake cutthroat trout, we usually fish with large patterns as they tend to feed on stickback, sculpin, leech, etc. Pretty tough to get them in the summer as they stay in deep like you said. The best way is probably to troll for them in really deep water as we do sometimes in Whistler at a lake where large cutties are found.

[@EnriqueSantiagofly]

Beautiful and big trout!

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks! Come on over, the fisheries in BC is fairly similar to what the waters around Norway offer.

[@ElGrigonEx]

Oh. We have brand here in Europe like Shimano, Daiwa, Greys. It seems that the best way is to go to shops and try. Thanks man! Good catch!

[@FishingwithRod]

It depends on how much you want to do and how much you want to spend of course, and find a balance between those. For trout fishing, a 4 or 5wt is your standard setup. 9'/2.70m is the typical length, but shorter if you are fishing in smaller creeks. My advice would be to invest in a good rod. The reel is just there to hold your line and you can always upgrade to a nicer reel later. For line, Scientific Angler GPX is a good one to start with as a floating line.

[@Zhar91to]

You are GREAT!

[@FishingwithRod]

We definitely use spinners for trout. We've never tried them with crankbait but have thought about it, must be pretty fun. We'll give it a go one day.

[@FishingwithRod]

Haven't tried it yet but hopefully will soon.

[@FishingwithRod]

Because it's fishing. Some days are excellent, some days are poor, that's what keeps us going back.

[@NoRodnoReel]

You should make a vid telling about all of your Personal bests for different species of fish you’ve caught and then talk about were or when and what happened.

[@FishingwithRod]

Actually that has been talked about in some of our Q&A videos. Check them out! :)

[@KayanEnsan]

oh i wish i can go ther !! soo relaxing

[@GurrasGarage]

Great video, i fish mostly pike and perch trolling, would love to fish trout!

[@FishingwithRod]

Big rainbows, bull trout, coho salmon, pink salmon are all ideal target species on a 6wt.

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks! That's really great to hear. That's pretty much the direction we've wanted our videos to go from the beginning, to entertain but also to educate. Too many fishing shows have a tendency to focus more on showcasing their catches for a long time instead of worrying about their welfare. We only show our catches briefly. The good thing with KZbin is, you can keep replaying and pausing if you want to see the fish again. ;)

[@ozangler5642]

Hello from Australia, Lovely looking lake. I enjoyed your video very much. Must visit BC someday. Wont be fishing today. Raining heavily, probably snowing at the small lake I intended to fish. Not a morning person either! Cheers, Steve.

[@FishingwithRod]

Great to hear! :)

[@FishingwithRod]

We have been in touch with Douglas Lake Ranch and just need to sort out a few things to get a video done there. It probably will not be this year because my schedule is pretty much all booked up, so look for it next year. :)

[@Toffypops]

Thanks for the videos!. Really appreciate them. :) - cheers from Bård from Norway.

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks for the tips! 6wt is definitely a more ideal choice in that situation. I only had my 4 and 5wts as we normally just indicator fish in structureless waters. That fish was almost controlled, but then it took advantage when my guard was down. Oh well, lesson learned. :)

[@sonsoffishes1]

Fishing with Rod u just need to pump some iron and build those puny muscles! (in Schwarzenegger voice)

[@ryanlogas1436]

it's called fishing for fun. Catch and Release for the future.

[@ViperSharp]

That's the one I want right there!

[@flyfishaholic]

Ross can be great fun, right at the mouth, and slightly into the skagit river (no retention there though). Fish are smaller, but plentiful, although there are some huge bull trout there. Mosquitoes can be BRUTAL around shore, make sure to bring lots of repellant!

[@shuswapoutdoors]

some great fish!

[@FishingwithRod]

We were not using lures but flies. To see exactly what were used, check out the gear talk feature for this video, should be the video after this one in our channel.

[@B0NEPHISH]

Been some years since I have fished in the area, but was some good fishing when I went.

[@hattrickster33]

You guys have got to visit some of the lakes on Douglas Lake Ranch. We were just at one of the lakes there and the fishing was amazing. Maybe you could do a vid on that? Great info on fly fishing in this vid as well.

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks!

[@Islandhuntingandoutdoors]

Wow that fish woulda been big u are super calm haha i would have been yelling every curse i know haha love your videos

[@RicSeabergsUseful-Information]

really enjoy your videos

[@Shmoop123]

You are a very interesting talker

[@FishingwithRod]

Mosquitoes can be pretty bad in BC in the summer... It really is hard to predict how bad it can be, but we've been pretty lucky overall, mosquitoes seem to be absent at most lakes we go to. There are a couple of lakes where they are really bad but we keep going back each year because the fishing is just too good to be missed... :) Thanks for watching!

[@beastmoders76]

nice man ive used all your tips i caught 4 fish

[@FishingwithRod]

Absolutely. I personally am not an expert on the technical aspect of fly fishing so cannot help too much on that, but we have been planning to have a few experienced anglers to do the videos that you are requesting. Hopefully it will not be too long before we have them available for everyone. :)

[@TheVancouverite]

Jungle Monster Trout? That's an interesting jungle...

[@mraasem6659]

good and nice fish

[@FishingwithRod]

Well normally we stick to 6lb test Fluorocarbon, but in this case we bumped it up to 8lb test mono because the fish were not shy and heavier, more abrasion-resistant line is needed in the snaggy area.

[@villmarkslivet]

Nice video.... again :)

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks. Not yet, we've been wanting to try it for many years now. Maybe this year. :)

[@FishingwithRod]

Thank you! :)

[@lee19702]

Could you do a video on beginner fly fishing? Like how to tie a leader, cast, etc.

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks. The fly rods used in this video are 9' Rainshadow 4 and 5 wts.

[@ElGrigonEx]

What brand of rod do you recommend? Which ones are good, I mean practical. I heard that you must choose the right site of a line depending on fishing rod type. Do you have any formula of that or other presentation?

[@zohebkhan5727]

NYC catch ....

[@beckenry]

Great job!!!! I really want to travel to canada and fish right now :) Greetings from Australia

[@Liamshaw05]

Nice team Pautzke hat

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks.

[@Dee-hi5zj]

Rod... THANKS for your videos! I have fished for years... Never really considered myself a pro - just put food on the table. I am re-kindling my desire to fish more after a lonnnnnng break and a big breakup with my longtime gf (also Asian)...So your videos are not only informative, also entertaining, also very theraputic. I enjoy your approach... too many know-it-alls out there making videos. AND the technical quality of your videos are some of the best I've seen on KZbin. Keep up the great endeavors! Don't listen to all these X-Spurts... you're doing it all just fine! And enjoying the hell out of it too!

[@FishingwithRod]

Donny B Thanks for the comment! Glad you enjoy these videos and good luck with future fishing trips. :)

[@Jonas80111]

nice sea man

[@FishingwithRod]

Strangely, I almost never get mad at losing a fish (and that's not because I catch too many, far from it!). To me, hooking them is just as satisfying as landing them. I do get frustrating by other little yet important things, such as not being able to position the boat properly due to wind, bad casting, tangles, etc.

[@gregorysample7072]

The genuine thrill of a big fish on; great isn't it!

[@brandystoy]

The low teens, wow. Very cool video. You are a good host. Can i ask you if the mosquitoes are bad in BC in the summer?

[@BeffJoyle]

Unreal fish!!! Thanks for the videos. Will all the tips you give apply to us on the East Coast as well?

[@dpreiner21]

i love fishing rainbows just like you rod. Do you ever troll for them?

[@akintomeatloaf]

What dry fly were you using? Since it was so shallow, you decided to use the dry fly/floating line, correct? ...and yes, great video! It's fishing, not catching, and those big ones that get away make you come back for more!

[@LieutenantSparklez2]

I loved this videos and it was really good, but what would be a good setup for stocked rainbows? and i can't use a fly rod because the lake is tiny and is only about 10-15 ft across. i have tried many things like roe and just plain old worms. you got any tips?

[@awesomeabsol]

Thats why its called fishing. Not just catching

[@noahhhchaplan8150]

tips great

[@FishingwithRod]

You're welcome. Takk!

[@B0NEPHISH]

Love your videos! Thanks for sharing! PS You ever fish Ross Lake?

[@multiestonian]

im glad i subscribed to you. you have good videos. Ive learned much from you:D

[@WilbertRobichaud]

I was helping with that Fight!!

[@RandomAnonymous9]

Very good quality for 10 years ago

[@chaokingkok]

Hi, I want to know what fly I'm suppose to use for the lake like you fishing now..

[@FishingwithRod]

Sage is of course a very good brand to go with due to the quality of their rods and the warranty. St Croix, G.Loomis are also good choices. You should match your line to the rod, so 5wt line for 5wt rod, and a reel that can hold enough 5wt line and backing. The best thing to do is to go into a fly fishing store, try out a few different 5wt setups and see which one is comfortable in your hand.

[@AUGundam]

If I were fishing a lake like this with bait, what would you suggest?

[@GOMLOComedy]

Your a cool gut your names rod(amazing fisherman name hahha) and your one of. The best fisherman I've ever witnessed

[@FishingwithRod]

Yes, occasionally.

[@FishingwithRod]

Yap lots then fail to perform, that's how a true fisherman does it. ;) Thanks for watching.

[@HATINTHEKAT]

do pautzke eggs work well with stocked trout in lakes? or are they better suited for rivers and natural trout?

[@gman69455]

Hello Rod, I'm about to take a trip to Colorado in the next few weeks. I'm wondering if you can suggest a good starter setup, rod and reel, for fly fishing as well as some fly patterns that work pretty consistently. I'm hoping to learn this method of fishing so I can fish for trout and other fish in the rivers and lakes while I'm there. Thank you.

[@FishingwithRod]

Unfortunately I've never fished in Colorado before so I am not familiar with its fisheries.

[@onlyonewaytogetthere]

gman69455 Colorado has some nice small streams and pretty lakes with decent fish. I recommend a 4wt in 8'6" with a weight forward line. If you are going to nymph, this will work for the streams as well as lakes. It is best to use clear sink lines for stripping buggers and what not. If you fish bigger rivers, a 10' 5wt will work great for indicator fishing. Temple Fork Outfitters make some nice rods for the price. - best

[@sportsdude1094]

just curious, what species can i target with a 6 wt????

[@thatfatguyuptheblock]

Hey rod? How big of a leader are you using in lakes?

[@FishingwithRod]

I think it would depend on a few factors, such as time of the year/temperature of water near surface, what they are feeding on, etc. Leeches do travel near the surface at times, so I don't see why not if there are nothing else to eat. If fish are keying on insects, then you are more likely to catch fish on those patterns than a leech pattern.

[@apefjert]

You should have left retrive on your reel. Looks like a hard time switching hands all the time.

[@QSTryHard]

Thats what i do with all my reels

[@liammacdonald908]

You're right. I hate watching people miss hook sets in that split second when they have to switch hands

[@armandoarya1215]

what lure were u using

[@kyklain86]

dude, put up a good fight. i havent caught anything that big. nice though. keep up the good work! :)

[@iddddaduncan]

How do you like your fish finder? are you still using it?

[@FishingwithRod]

The one I used in this video was a pretty entry level one, it did the job. I still have it but don't really use it, I now use a Helix 5, which is an amazing machine...

[@spenceryoung123]

are there bass or other fish about that size in that lake?

[@Fishkid88]

Hey we go up to a deep lake on the sunshine coast every summer that has a healthy cutthroat trout population but all the trout stay deep during the summer so I was wondering if you had any tips, thanks. BTW the lake is called Sakinaw lake

[@charljrhode2]

what bait were you using

[@cheryl2799]

im down in Australia what fly would you suggest for rainbow trout

[@brentkdaniels]

yeah, I'm sure we all know that feeling. nice fish on, than its gone.

[@FishingwithRod]

Yep. :)

[@MrFlyrabbit007]

great video, Rodney...how much do you pay for fishing there?

[@thomash565]

I usually use 3 lb. braid main line and a 2 lb. leader. With a 1/4 ounce weight a snap swivel a size 12 hook some garlic power bait covered in hatchery dust

[@FishingwithRod]

Possibly, except this lake is designated for fly fishing only. ;)

[@SnapBackCollector211]

hi i was using these salmon eggs in a jar and i tied them up for spawn sack i caught 1 brown but the last couple weeks they haven't been strikeing why
