Sight fishing trout is awesome! Love watching them go nuts when they hit the bait! Gorgeous location!

[@ColtonWilson3000]

Great video, lots of nice fish. I liked the fireworm jig. That's pretty cool

[@TeamPautzke]

Try it!

[@sagebrush243]

Some people when they go fishing like to go on a big boat out to see or fish a river for bass on a big fancy boat. Not me. I can fish like this the rest of my life, just throwing baits and lures into small creeks and reservoirs just catching these beautiful trout

[@martyhalvorson5010]

Awesome video!! 😁😁 can you tell me how you rig that fire biat worm correctly that looked REALLY good 😁

[@TeamPautzke]

Hi Marty, The video shows exactly what he's doing - try it!

[@TeamPautzke]

30 min drive - head to Burney Sporting Goods - they'll give you a map

[@alex111683]

In the northern California mountain streams, the best time to fish this time of year is actually 10-2 due to flies warming up and becoming active so you guys chose a great time actually

[@wilsonflanders878]

Great video

[@mackjones8409]

Where can I get info on trout contest/derbys for 2025?

[@TeamPautzke]

Online? Which trout contest?

[@mackjones8409]

@ I’m recently retired and trying to find hobbies, thought I’d try to do some derby’s but don’t know where to find out about them, I live in Southern California and only know of the one at lake Isabella, is there a website?

[@TeamPautzke]

We don't know much about local tournaments. It's best to search online.

[@DESERTSTATELINEANGLERS]

[@TeamPautzke]

[@slurpyman20]

Pautzke Bait Do it. A decade Revenge. My aunt pulled up a 10 lbs planter a few weeks ago from the bank.

[@austinsauer3826]

[@lillchop3429]

Could you help a little more with how to get here?

[@TeamPautzke]

Yes, head to Burney Sporting Goods in town. They'll give you a map. Or go to the California Department of Fish & Wildlife's website. There's directions on there, too.

[@martyhalvorson5010]

What's the name of the sporting goods store? I'm heading up there tomorrow! 😁

[@joelloyd1173]

Go up Tamarack road, Just East of Burney, it’s a few miles up this road, and then you take a right turn at some point (this part is weird because there’s no other way to say it, and there’s a few other wrong turns you could take), go a few more miles. Park at the gate, walk up a few hundred yards. Fishing was better in town at the bridge.

[@sergeytyannikov246]

Tamarack rd is west of Burney, no?

[@petert.6449]

That doesnt look like the spot at all. Lol

[@camt]

@@petert.6449 I found the spot, unfortunately it does not look like it is stocked anymore, there were no fish at all

[@clawzz2346]

Where can I find all colors of balls of fire because I went to a bait shop and bought yellow jacket but that’s all they had

[@TeamPautzke]

What area do you live in?

[@clawzz2346]

Pautzke Bait central Pennsylvania

[@TeamPautzke]

If you are looking for the Fire Balls, it's best to find them online. The eggs are available at Walmart, Bass Pro and Cabelas in PA.

[@clawzz2346]

Pautzke Bait ok thank you so much and I’m such a big fan u guys should make an egg that is a dark blue with silver sparkles and name it Super Blue

[@wolfman9913]

Why don't you do some of us fellow anglers a solid... And give directions to the pump house??? 🤔

[@TeamPautzke]

That info - and anything else you could ever want - is available at the Fish & Wildlife website.

[@douglaskirk4698]

Cmon guys. I love those eggs, but really only the two are worth it, green or red caps. Next, I have fished that area for 35+ years and can tell you that they plant the heck out of those areas and that little spot youre at its STUFFED and emptied regularly. Reality is that you could, and I have, thrown just a red no. 8 hook and they slam it. They are staving from the hatchery. Im surprised you didnt show the railroad car used as a bridge. We take kids that have never fished to that little spot since its a guarantee fish factory and ANY bait OR Spinner will do.

[@TeamPautzke]

Hi Doug, You are correct - and incorrect. All of our products work excellent, when used properly, including the mentioned Green Label and Premium Balls O Fire. If you choose to go there and use just a plain No 8 - that's your choice. This is what we chose to use. Regardless, we hope you enjoy your time on the water whether you use a bare hook, spinner or Green Label. Stay positive buddy!

Planters will eat anything.
