Southwest Virginia Trout Fishing

More than four inches of rain fell the day before we were to trout fish Southwest Virginia's Cripple creek near Rural Retreat. The creek exploded past it's banks, muddied and made fishing challenging. Meanwhile, we considered this a solid opportunity to test product. Armed with Silver Label salmon eggs, Fire Bait and Fire Balls we spent an afternoon at Cedar Springs Sportsman's Lodge and caught a handful of rainbow trout and golden rainbows while filming this episode of Pautzke Outdoors.

You guys were at my FAVORITE pay stream!!! I've known Jim Hilton for about 15 years. As my personal testimony, I have NEVER caught a trout less than 19 inches there...NEVER!!! And I've been there countless times! There are many creeks and streams I frequently visit...but Cedar Springs Sportsman Lodge is my "go to" for an awesome trout fishing experience!!! My wife and son absolutely love it there too! By the way...We just started using several of your products with great success!!!

[@josephjones3977]

How much does it cost to fish there?

[@donniedarko1345]

I'll be bringing my pops here shortly! Looks amazing!

[@gpoutdoors5971]

This video is fantastic. Who is the guy with the long hair? He looks like a marine to me I am too tell him Semper Fi for me I will be in VA in the spring I'd love to shake hands there on Cripple Creek. I had no idea there was creek fishing there now i am excited for the work trip!!! LOL

[@jerrygoldsmith1734]

Just saw the video. Outstanding. I am fishing there the July 7 th and 8th. What baits would you suggest?

[@TeamPautzke]

Jerry - the exact ones shown in the video.

[@jerrygoldsmith1734]

Thanks

[@SMITHWT3]

Love their videos, but have not even had a hit with their product. Berkeley Power-bait Salmon Peach does the trick here in Virginia.

[@TeamPautzke]

Interesting - every one was using Fire Bait and Pautzke eggs when we walked Big Tumbling.

[@SMITHWT3]

Pautzke Bait I’m just saying I have not been successful with your product. I carry a fair amount of your product with me and will continue to try it.

[@TeamPautzke]

Thanks for trying. Presentation is key. We encourage you to try the methods discussed in this video.

[@loganhennessy1613]

Ya I agree fantastic videos and me and my buddies hit cedar twice a year. I’ve also had difficulty with the bait always flying off the hook like it isn’t as thick as powerbait. Is that possibly old bait or perhaps water got in the container?

[@chrisyang6080]

For that private stream, would you also need a fishing license as well? Or just the stamp to fish at that place? Or both?

[@loganhennessy1613]

Chris Yang these streams just a freshwater works

[@DroppinNigsDaily]

Just a freshwater license for the private stream there. Cedar creek let’s you keep 6 per day

[@jerdew]

I would be the guy catch the 10 inch rainbow after all my pals caught some Brood trout

[@susanloudermilk7670]

Cripple creek is amazing! I wanna get paid to fish :)

[@chrisdavis4232]

[@leviwhaley3606]

[@kolbyparr3963]

Why you want to put a spinning reel on a fly rod? Is that a Virginia thing or something?

[@jakesoutdoorsandgaming977]

Nate Johnson I’m from About as Southwest in VA as you can go and I can tell you I’ve never seen that in my years of fishing.

[@brianstotler9846]

It used to be because the action on trout rods sucked. You could get an ok ultralight rod but only about 5 foot long. I us r to use this same setup and I'm from PA. Of course now I have some nice 7 foot UL spinning rods and just keep my fly gear separate.

[@jeffbise4977]

Im from SWVA and ppl use that alot around here

[@aarongibson8268]

Explain why any one would use a cheap fly rod with a spinning reel.

[@TeamPautzke]

It's a popular rod. And, works very well.

[@brianstotler9846]

I used to use that exact setup. Those eagle claw featherlight 7 foot fly rods are great for small streams and I carried a fly reel in my back pack and would switch up.

[@paulg565]

Daily fee?

Please go to the website listed at the end of the video. You'll find all the info you need.

[@TeamPautzke]

Come give it a shot. Enjoy!

[@Guitarist4lifee95]

What’s the song that played after the “got bait” logo

[@TeamPautzke]

We aren't sure. It's part of a package we paid for legal use.
