Stunning Washington Rainbow Trout

My brother and I had a great August trip targeting rainbows on one of our favorite Washington Rivers. We decided to camp this time, which added a different but fun element to our adventure (until the thunderstorms showed up:). The fishing wasn't fantastic, but we got enough fish to keep us excited. That's one of our favorite things about this river is you have to work for the fish and you never know what you'll find around the next river bend. We lost some solid fish but got a few beauties in the net. The flies of the trip were eggs, chubby's, and streamers (mostly white). #trouttwins #trouttwinslodge #flycraft #patagonia #echoflyrods #flytying #bulltrout #rainbowtrout #sageflyrods #simmsfishing

I met yalls dad the other day in the gig harbor fly shop, talked with him for a bit and he turned me on to the channel. Super glad he did, loving the content

@@surfr716 That’s awesome! I bet it was my brother’s father in law though. He frequents that shop a lot and our dad doesn’t. Was he tall with a mustache? Glad you’re enjoying the channel and thanks for the comment👍

I have caught 2 westslope cutthroat in there recently. I suspect they are coming from shuksan lake.

[@trouttwins4721]

Hi Cory...that's super interesting as last year my brother and I caught two also. We were really surprised. You definitely could be right as to where they are coming from. Thanks for the comment.

looks like the Skagit River, had some decent luck on Goodell Creek recently while camping at Newhalem Creek Campground

[@trouttwins4721]

@@jagusiff Thanks for the comment jagusiff! Goodell has always looked fishy but i haven’t gotten around to fishing it. Do you just walk up creek from the road?

Great video mate! I subbed to your channel.

[@trouttwins4721]

Hey old smuggler...thanks so much. We really enjoy making them...so I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the sub! We appreciate it.

Pretty sure it's unlawful to target bull trout in this system. Might want to change your video description and consider for future outings

[@trouttwins4721]

Hey Masterofbombs...thanks for the comment. This is a great lesson for us all. You used to be able to target bulls in this area, but unbeknownst to me, they changed that regulation. You are right...that section does not allow it anymore (just checked)...just a few lower sections allow for it now. A good lesson for me and everyone else, always check the regs, as what was legal before may not be legal now. Thanks for making us aware and I'll make sure to check the regs more often. Tight lines and thanks for the comment.
