Stream Trout on Jigs - Fishing the driftless area of Southeast Minnesota for trout

An afternoon spent trout fishing in Southeast Minnesota is one of the most therapeutic activities on earth. To be surrounded by the scenes and sounds of the driftless area is an experience like no other. Oh yeah! I catch some trout too! #southeastminnesota #streamtrout #driftlessarea
As a video creator and fishing addict I want to provide you the viewer with relevant videos that entertain and hopefully teach techniques which help you catch more fish!
I encourage you to comment on and subscribe my channel so that you won’t miss a video. My goal is to publish 1 video per week and to make them available to the viewer every Thursday @ 3:00pm central.

Nice video . For about 30 years now, my son's and I have occasionally used small jig heads and plastics, and even attache the jig to a Beetle Spin, spinner . The Brookie's go absolutely nuts over it .

[@AnglerX]

I'll bet the beetle spins are awesome for trout! Thanks for the tip!

Hi Man am sorrry to take your time again but i have a a question for you i live on fridley dakota county can you recommend me a place close to mee please thank you

[@AnglerX]

Sorry, I'm not familiar with that area

[@bretrichards7147]

Great video! Do you ever fish the Elk river near Independence? Thanks

[@AnglerX]

Bret Richards I have not but I’ve driven by it a lot thinking it’s looks really good. Do you fish it?

[@WaterandIceOutdoors]

I love that area so much! Only have been down there once this year so far. Such a beautiful place to fish! Nice video!

[@AnglerX]

Water and Ice Outdoors thank you! It a great escape from reality 😁

[@kongthao5121]

[@HighEndTroutFishing]

Awesome ! I'm really enjoy watching your channel ! I like to use jig head on the stream also ! I love it ! Liked

[@AnglerX]

Thanks brother! Jigs are an very fun way to catch trout.

[@TrailsNTrout]

Nice video man. You got on them pretty good! Tight lines from BFG

[@AnglerX]

Thanks BFG! Just subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to watching your content.

Excellent again. I down at Dubuque and fish Swiss Valley and catch some Trout also but on the # 6 P-M in Gold Yellow with black dots. I was having good luck with Berkley mouse tails also. My stream is smaller than the one you are fishing but just as clear, I tried Berkley 4lb XL clear line on my spinning rod but I was having lots of hits and was having a problem setting the hook on the fish, I felt my line had to much stretch or my rod did not have enough back bone. Was wondering what line are you using ? TC

[@AnglerX]

Thank you! I typically use 6-8 lb clear smooth casting trilene mono for trout.

[@todd4797]

Look like the whitewater valley. Great video man 👍🏻

[@AnglerX]

South Fork of the Root River, Its very much like the Whitewater River.

[@todd4797]

I used to work in both areas...you are right tho..hard to tell the difference.

[@jesseclay9370]

Can I get some info on the area you were fishing? I never know where to go that isn't private property.

[@AnglerX]

Root River South Fork, generally speaking the farther you are willing to walk the better the fishing. Good Luck!

[@donbergler4903]

Excellent video! Well done! Every video have been fun to watch! They seem to be getting better and better. All have been interesting and put together well.

[@AnglerX]

Nice Video! Congrats, creeping up on 1k subs.

[@AnglerX]

Thanks for the continued support!

[@allpurposeoutdoors1547]

What is the biggest Brown you have caught?

[@AnglerX]

I fish Lake Superior often and caught my biggest brown trout there which was close to 30 inches. My biggest stream trout was around 18".

[@JoshKyleFishing]

Do you ever get smallmouth in that creek?

[@AnglerX]

No, I have never caught smallmouth there. I think its possible farther downstream as it gets closer to the Mississippi River.

[@connergerdes9346]

Anymore walleye videos coming soon?

[@AnglerX]

conner gerdes I will be doing videos on a variety of species this summer which will include more walleye videos. Thanks for watching!

[@bobcrappies]

conner gerdes Great video Man love the scenery also

[@fvviral7819]

Hi man i love fishing trout and other species but i don't know a lot of places to fish them can you please tell me how this stream called or the location please!!!

[@AnglerX]

I'm fishing in southeast Minnesota. There are many streams just like the one in this video. Go to the Minnesota DNR website and look up the designated trout waters. There are many with open public access. Good Luck!

[@Bideaweefishn420]

Down by my cabin love it there. My cabin is on trout run

[@AnglerX]

Such a beautiful area!

[@Bideaweefishn420]

@@AnglerX you going down for trout opener this weekend

[@AnglerX]

Not sure if I’ll go opening weekend… I usually make last minute decisions when it comes to fishing lol

[@beevue9490]

Just started trout fishing this year. Vermillion has some of the biggest brown trout. Could be up to 25 inches for stream trout. Please understand that it’s only catch and release in that area.

[@AnglerX]

Awesome! Thanks for the information!

[@ancientoakgrove]

Me and my sister also started trout fishing this year and have been hitting up Vermillion a few times but always nothing but northerns so far 😑. Whitewater has been awesome though and found a few little streams in Bloomington with brookies.

[@beevue9490]

Whitewater is a very good too. Been there a lot but I mostly just catch rainbow there. For the Vermilion you will need to venture a little deeper into the wood where there’s not a lot of pressure. I use both spinners and live bait. On deep pools I like to toss spinners first, if no action then live bait (worms) as well as powerbait eggs.

[@ancientoakgrove]

You need to to go up the trout creek run stream in whitewater.... Thats where all the brookies are. I got lucky last time I went a few weeks back.... Got all three... Brookie rainbow and brown. (Theres a small flooded beaver pond not far from the south parking lot where the trout run creek flows into the whitewater.... Really good hot spot and you wont run into the rainbows as much). We gotta explore the vermillion better...the eastern side further down is where I heard the big browns are... We were only fishing that park in Farmington so far....... Northern city 🤣

[@beevue9490]

Mostly on the Whitewater river. Haven’t been to Trout creek since Google map show it as kinda small but will try. Thanks

[@FreetoProwlOutdoors]

Great video and some dandy driftless trout! Keep it up 🤘🏼🇺🇸

[@AnglerX]

Thank you!!!

[@TooFatToHuntOutdoors]

great action man! Beautiful fish!
