Stocked Trout Fishing Tips for Beginners - How to Catch Stocked Trout

Wondering how to catch stocked trout? Here are some stocked trout fishing tips for beginners. I talk about the rig I am using as well as the bait. I also go in to where and why I fish in the spots that I do. After most of the trout have been caught, the remaining fish can be harder to catch. So the spot you choose can make all of the difference. I hope the tips in this video can help you catch more stocked trout. These tips are not only helpful for beginners, they are useful for any level fisherman who might be fishing in conditions like this.

The "tree pounder" is definitely a common catch while troutin' around me lol.

I earned the nickname Twiggy for that haha

[@joshuacampbell1383]

You are so right about the cost of rods. I bought 2 Shakespeare rods on clearance for $2 a piece and a $20 reel. Have had them since 98 and caught hundreds of fish on them.

I like how i can catch a trout in the middle of summer, but as soon as they start stocking i cant catch nothing. Sheeeesh

[@patc1309]

Hi! My new year's resolution is to take up fishing. I haven't fished since I was a kid 35 years ago and would ride my bike with my rod to the local creek. I have forgot and lost all my skills. So glad I found your channel to teach me!

[@TheJuggaloFishingPosse]

My dude climbing over trees to catch some trout. Awesome stuff brother. Really cool trout spot and pretty bows.

[@ianfung503]

Love that you’ve caught 100s of fish on the $17 combo. That’s a good counter message to the marketing we hear everyday from the manufacturers.

[@geraldbergevin1544]

Another inspiring and informative video. Thanks for talking about your rigging, location, weights, feeling for bites, etc. I believe you when you say it’s about skill and experience. You obviously have both.

[@cesarhernandez-se5ij]

Really enjoy your videos! Love the fact that you use budget gear like myself and don’t endorse or try to push flashy $100 gear like other channels do. You truly keep it realistic!

[@rossbowman202]

Heck yeah keeping it realistic Alex, proving it is skill not gear that reels in the fish. 🎣

[@quickresponsefishing]

Love catching trout wayyy after they’re stocked. Like you said, really tests your skills. 👍🏻

[@theflannelfisherman8329]

Stocking there this morning. Bout to head out. Wasn’t even specifically looking for a video at this spot and found it anyways. What a small world.

[@thundarpheeshy]

My two favorite trout/panfish rods are both under $30, a dc'ed Cabellas rod and a Okuma Celilo. My favorite reels I have on them I got for $15/reel during a new years sale two years ago, the Okuma Ceymar. You definitely do not need expensive gear to catch fish. Although when you're fishing a river for steelhead/salmon and making hundreds of casts with a 9ft+ rod, it is nicer to have a lighter rod. But I digress. Party on Wayne!

[@VinnyBagODoughnuts]

They recently stocked trout in MD by me and I never fished in the winter before, but your recent videos inspired me! Took 2 - 3 hrs to limit out (5) RB's used brown and pink powerbait : ) Had quite a few come off and missed a few hook-ups too. It was totally worth it 👌

[@RealisticFishing]

I am glad you got out there and tried 👍

[@134rwa]

One of the best things about stocked trout fishing, is that it gives opportunity for folks to catch trout that usually wouldn't have access to trout fishing, and they are usually willing biters.

[@LightSpinAngler]

I am falling in love with fishing but not all the spoons in the bottom of the crick. I like powerbait fishing for stockies. Had a fly fisherman tell me to change my setup and said I’ll never catch anything. I’d caught a 13in brownie the day before right where he was standing saying that to me.

[@jk_wrangler13]

I agree with ya on the price of fishing combos. The most I've ever paid for a combo rod and real was $60.00. And that was because I wanted a batecaster combo and that was the cheapest one I could find. Never used one and wanted to try it out. I've always used a open or closed real to fish with. That's what grew up calling them anyway.

[@fry9000]

Good vid man. Glad to see your spirits have risen 🤓

[@matthewg8922]

I like your comment about the price of your rod. It really doesn't cost to catch fish. My first rod was a super cheap telescopic rod (for my motorcycle) a Wakeman. I caught all my PBs on it. I finally upgraded to a $20 Cadence reel I bought on black Friday. My $20 cadence ideal 3000 reel feels just as nice as my fishing buddies $200 Penn Battle reel.

I am SO appreciative that while some channels (i.e. yo Bro's show 🤣) would have you believe ya gotta spend the big bucks to catch fish .... you take the time to show and tell that ANY rod/reel can catch fish, so long as you know how to use it. And the less ya spend on the gear, the more ya got to spend on the lures 🤣🤣🤣. Keep on keeping it realistic! Ps, thats some good tree climbing ya did there. #determination

[@scumbaggo]

Great stuff man, just got into river fishing, was a little discouraged by all these guys with crazy rigs.. even knowing that with practice you can be great on a Barbie rod. Like you I used a just a hook and a small sinker about 12 inches up, and was trying to catch them on a pink trout worm, kept getting bites but it seemed like they were just going for the end of the worm and never ate the hook. How should I hook the trout worm up? Or should I just grab some power bait? Luckily I got a few 6-8 inch lake trout later in the day. Nothing to write home about but it felt good.
