I agree on the eating part. No point bringing em home when you have a freezer full of fresh Kokanee!

[@ajayfay]

I mean, Kokanee is great. But I really do love me some trout. Depending on where you caught them, and the type. Sometimes they can beat out Kokanee. . . :p But that's just my preference.

Map Lip 3.0 on Lake Superior has been HUGE for me! Dr Death and Metallic gold flame are my two favorites for steelhead.

[@twise95]

Maglips are one of my favorite methods for trolling for trout, been doing this over in Central Oregon the last couple summers to fairly decent success. Those trophy fish are pretty fun on a ultralight setup. Love how they smash a maglip! Not quite as explosive as a steelhead or a chinook but still a ton of fun.

Double rainbow what does it mean?!😂

[@shelleyszulinszky9732]

Wait til you get up here in BC interior. Our diploid and triploid fish go in as yearling and fingerling. So nice 3lber+ has been it a watershed a few years and taste great. We do stock spring catchables in a few spots which I agree are not good table fare.

[@ShenpaiWasTaken]

Well, a double rainbow is a phenomenon of optics that displays a spectrum of light. due to the sun shining on the droplets of moisture in the atmosphere. Haha Cool that you got a tagged fish!

[@shockcoach]

A double rainbow all the way! What does this mean!? 😊

[@robbysmusic8507]

nice trout, so they do something to the fish to make them become Triploid Rainbow Trout, i never knew that thank you.

[@darrellryan2337]

Nice, I just came home from a lake fishing for these with my 4wt Fly Rod Nymphs man what a blast.

[@shockcoach]

I personally prefer the triploids over the Kokanee. The bright red meat is fantastic eating. I do most of my fishing in the upper Roosevelt, Gifford area. I can’t wait to get my PA14 in the water there. I scored on a used one last month for a steal of a price. Keep up the great content.

[@spiltmilt]

It’s not the meat quality that deters me, it’s that you are essentially eating farmed fish vs fish that grew up on local food resources in the reservoir.

[@shanediggers2156]

cracks me up when i see someone get happy about catching a trout. as a colorado native id rather take the hook in my leg. and ive seen crazy vids on here like cooking trout that havent been bled. or frying trout??????wth.

[@christophersmith5485]

If you don’t get happy about catching trout maybe take up a different hobby.

[@Carlb328]

I catch a lot of fish on orange spinners and spoons.

[@jernplays1815]

Wild caught Dworshak trout are so delicious to eat, catching the released farmed trout just don’t compare. I am with you on catching farmed fish versus not i just have no interest. The only fish i like to eat that farmed are kokanee which are typically released as fry - 6” finger ling fish.

Hey did you have to buy the Use Permit, Launch Pass and Indian License when launching at the pins. I've always used a boat up there and ran down to the pins but I'm planning on running up with the yak so it'll be launching at the pins this time.

[@spiltmilt]

Yes you have to buy all of those

[@jamesblakely6279]

Hey I wanted to ask what is the exact hummingbird helix 5 are you using

[@dbfishing8588]

Great work. How has the walleye fishing been at Rufus?

[@spiltmilt]

Excellent

[@cgburt11]

@spiltmilt launching at Rufus with a kayak- do I need to purchase the native park access pass to launch my kayak from that area?

[@spiltmilt]

Yes. You need a fishing license and the access pass. If using a developed ramp you also need the boat launch pass.

[@mikechiurato8468]

Where can I buy the net you are using?

[@scottulbrich5376]

seems like they would be ok smoked,

[@outfishing6934]

I smoke a couple a year and if you do it right they taste a lot like sockeye.

[@jameskeitges9953]

I’ve decided to follow God’s laws, not man’s rules when it comes to fishing.

[@bradfarrahgerwing154]

How's the catch under FAKESKYDADDIES magical farcical teachings.....I thought the lible was about muder rape genocide and daughter humping like LOTS DAUGHTERS....thats why the book banners are freaking out because their precious tome is being called out for filth and rightfully banned This is a fishing website...respectfully if you u want to Preach then go to church James

[@MorgansWorldOregon]

I don't even know what that means lol

[@davidbrazell3866]

No doubt game wardens will be super cool with that. 😅

[@shockcoach]

What are those laws, specifically? Is it throwing out a net and catching 153 fish?

[@brian1204]

There are no “gods laws”.

[@Goats22]

tagged trout is $100 here :)
