Trout Fishing Cherry River WEST VIRGINIA

[@ultimateicon2010]

So I just saw the pic of Big Mike's MONSTER GOLD from Babcock the other day. Wow. Just wow!

[@dy24forever]

That hatchery guy took a hard hit when he fell

[@bigbuck4438]

Watching all these West Virginia videos is giving me the fishing bug. Those streams are beautiful. They work really hard at dispersing those fish. Nice job guys!!!

[@shawneldridge4465]

Last Thursday they just stocked the canals and the stream in Bethlehem Pennsylvania. As of right now they're getting ready for the kids opening day which is March 26th And then April 2nd is when the adults season opens up and starts. It cannot get here soon enough, but I have patience and I will wait till then. Epic video

Dude with the long hair seems cool. Fish on brother ,hell yeah.

[@brandonworkman7809]

I don’t like chasing the stock truck because I like a challenge but I’m sure a net or two was thrown in that hole up river away from everybody

[@brianmartalus6231]

Nice looking water. They could save those people the time and just dump them into those folks' creek.

[@djkmark]

I want to hear fluff sing Sweet Child of Mine next time.

[@molipaul]

Why bother throwing them in the water…may as well just hand ‘‘em out to the waiting fisherman.

[@TeamPautzke]

We will pass along your suggestion to the WVDNR and see what they say.

[@molipaul]

@@TeamPautzke Not suggesting I’m any better. We all have to decide for ourselves, like I saw you mention to someone else’s criticism. I certainly fish for stocked trout, so I’m guilty, too. For me, barbless hooks and artificial lures only is where I draw my own personal line. But seriously, handing them out from the stocking trucks would save wear and tear on those poor stockers (no more nasty falls!) and the trout, too-saving them from that harsh toss into such shallow, open water…but don’t guess that would do much for your bait business. 🤷‍♂️

[@TeamPautzke]

Thanks for sharing your opinion. We are always happy to listen, as long as someone is respectful in their delivery. Good luck out there and have fun with barbless hooks and lures - that's your choice. We all choose something that suits our needs best.

[@molipaul]

@@TeamPautzke Civility is certainly paramount-especially these days. Enjoy your fishing! Tight lines! 👍

[@losnos79]

lol me and my Dad used to joke about people chasing the stock truck

[@wvlongshooter3912]

It’s cool you guys have the inside scoop when our state stocks our waters. Not jealous at all, I mainly fish for wild trout in the great state of West Virginia. Cool video!!!

[@TeamPautzke]

It was a Friday stocking. We think the whole state new as the water is stocked weekly and hadn't shown up on the stocking report the first four days:) There were cars lined up waiting - traffic jams!

[@wvlongshooter3912]

@@TeamPautzke you are right. I agree.

[@jakeanddaddyoutdoors7543]

I honestly wish they would quit announcing it

[@debraridgeway3005]

I camp up south fork all the time it's in richwood

[@backyardfence8398]

Impressive

[@wv.bassin]

That fall probably did a pretty good number to them trout lol

[@TeamPautzke]

And, his tail!

[@jamessivonen4993]

Some good looking fish!

[@dylanhay3884]

I'm 95% sure the guy who fell with the fish killed one because I saw something white floating after he threw them😂😂😂

[@samuelestepp725]

I’ve seen golden trout from other states and none of them look like ours

[@jaygold4467]

Following a hatchery truck is pretty low. Chasing freshly stocked rubber trout is pretty low also. Not my idea of ethical fishing. Like shooting fish in a barrel. Doesn't take much skill.

[@TeamPautzke]

Hi Jay, That's your choice. Everyone has a different idea of what they enjoy. Have fun whatever you choose.

[@MrTNBassmaster]

​@@TeamPautzke there's always that one guy 🙄 . Hope you guys come down during the Gold Rush

[@jasonclayton4444]

Don't hate on them. I love followers. They catch their limits quickly and leave. Leaving me alone to catch and release fish the rest of the day
