Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup kzbin.infoUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.

When mimicking natural bait I agree with your drift approach. When fishing with a spinning lure, flash and vibration is key to success. Most streams I fish are swift and the pulled required to get lure action with the current seems counter productive. Going against I can significantly increases the action, and achieve a slower pull. For me, this continues to be very effective. Fishing, like life, is full of compromises and choices. Thanks for sharing yours so others can benefit.

Of all the beginner videos I have watched, this is by far one of the most informative. Thanks for not just showing the fishing or just telling how. By telling how while doing it, I get a much better sense of what I will need to be doing. My Father-in-Law is very experienced and I'm sure I will have a great time. thanks for all the help!

I do it the other way around, I cast upstream and bring the lure with the current. It lets me get the lure down deeper and not skip on the surface. I also like to always be moving upstream so I don't spook the fish. It has worked for 50 years.

I've always found that casting from the downstream side, upstream is more effective because trout are always facing upstream to fight the current and therefore see your lure coming at them as opposed to it coming from behind them.

Thank you very much Patrick, you never cast downstream and reel upstream. Trout sit behind rocks and wait for their dinner to come "downstream" to them and then dart out to take it, they do not typically run "upstream" to catch their dinner. Sorry, but this guys instructions are not correct.

@groundfog10 жыл бұрын
I like the vid! It made me feel calm and serene. Something to note however. The gills of a fish are only designed to absorb oxygen with water flowing from mouth to tail so moving a fish backwards is detrimental to the fish. Also, moving a fish forward in the water can force water into the stomach of the fish. It is best to find a spot out of the wind and current and let the fish recover while you hold it upright. The fish will swim away when it is ready. These are things that I did not know in the past as well. There is a lot of incorrect information out there in the world of fishing and we just assume that what we were told by other people is true. With that in mind please share proper fish handling procedures with those you fish with. Protect our resources . . . one person at a time.

bozokarl Right! My favorite trout spinner is a Panther Martin with a gold blade, black body with yellow spots. For summer steelhead, the 3/8 oz size is fantastic when ran through ruffles casting upstream. Most bites occur upstream down to even with you, rarely downstream as the spinner is effected by the current catching the line, bringing up and away from the strike zone.

Approach the stream heading up stream Stay very low and quiet. Try to cast the lure into water that is rough or disturbed and then retrieve it past large rocks. This way the fish will not be spooked by your presence or the lure landing in the water. Wild trout are very wary.

Awesome river and interesting photography. However, I would argue against casting and going downstream, especially when using spinners. Doing the opposite is arguably more effective (with rare exceptions), because of three reasons: 1) fish are less likely to see you coz they're usually facing upstream, 2) you can manoeuver the spinner more easily around rocks, logs, etc., 3) you can control the depth of retrieval and avoid the spinner rising to the top. There's also a fourth reason: if you're wading, the silt you raise from the bottom will not affect the fishing. But this is a rocky river, so that is probably not an issue. Of course, if that's your first or, I don't know, fifth trip to the stream and you do not plan to do it often, then maybe doing as this guy says is better, because casting upstream requires more practice to be effective.

Never revive a fish by pushing it back and forth, just point it upstream and let them water flow over the gills. Also cast upstream for a more natural presentation
@williamcooke60566 жыл бұрын
James Trombetti truth!
@Initechsystems5 жыл бұрын
I thought the EXACT same thing. Moving it back and forth forces to much water through the gill will damage the buccal cavity and tears the gill filaments. It also doesn't allow the fish time to constrict the muscle around the operculer cavity and this tears the filaments that run along the inside. You're literally killing the fish by doing this. This is the worst thing to do to a fish to revive them. They have a build in mechanism to trigger gill spasms so just hold the fish in the water (gently) and it will do the rest. For an outdoor expert, this was a pretty weak video presentation.

I believe moving fish forward and back is not helping fish to get back breathing properly and sometimes make it worse. Fish gills only open when water flow into their mouth and flow out from the gills. Moving forward is great but not helping when moving backward. And you cannot keep moving forward with fish can you? I think the best way is to hold the fish against the current towards up stream for a while, this way water flow would force into the fish's mouth when it opens.

I've caught fish both ways. It is a matter of what the angler finds to be the effective method to catch fish. I usually cast up stream because that allows me to fish the opposite bank, the middle of the river, and the same side of the bank in one cast. Casting down stream restricts the amount of water fished per cast. That is the difference.
