I used to only use fly fishing gear for trout, but I've come to really appreciate the simplicity of stream fishing with spinning gear. Last summer on a two week road trip through northern BC, I tied a silver Mepps on at the beginning of the trip and had no reason to change hooks the whole trip. I do also keep some spoons in my box though, cast farther and can be counted down deep which is occasionally beneficial.

First video to pop up on my search. Trying to get into trout fishing and I have nothing but casting and spinning rods. This is the perfect video to help get started in trout fishing thank you! Those were some narly catches man! Got hyped when I saw the last catch!

Excellent and I would say complete presentation on the what and how of flowing water trouting with a spin rod

My father taught me how to fish for trout from my earliest memories-so, over 65 years ago. You sir have got it-as good of a tutorial as I have seen. If I am going to pick on anything it is that the use of weight is way over-rated...do not use any if at all possible-only as absolutely necessary.

I’ve been having so much fun spin fishing for trout I don’t think I’ll be buying a fly rod in the near future. Still so much to explore and colors to buy. Great video and catches!

I replace the treble hooks with inline single hooks or siwash. In C&R streams just crimp down the barb.

I like your approach to trout fishing. Thanks for posting and for the info. I will check out some of these products.

Excellent video. Very informative

Bringing the spinner down stream makes sense. All the trout in rivers I catch are usually on the way across the channels. Problem I will have is the rivers here are faster flowing.

You are a master @caleb caught Trout with 4-5 diff methods! 🤯

Great video. Thanks for the tips! Epic brown trout on the swimbait!

Incredibly helpful and well put together video. Thank you!

vert informative video. thanks :)

I’d love to see some of the Northern WI trout lakes! So many around but never have any luck with them. Great video. Those rivers and streams are some of the most beautiful areas in the state!

Great information and well presented, no gimmicks. New sub!

I enjoy your videos. Using a spinning rod with flys is something new to me and this video is great info. I just became a subscriber!😊

This is the only fishing I really do. Small streams for wild brown/brook/and rainbow with short wids and spinning reels up by my grandparents camp. Its oddly hard to find non fly fishing videos for this fishing niche.

You are my favorite fishing show, great video and as always practical USEFUL things you show. Great work.

It’s fun to watch you catch all these amazing fish in the same places I catch only a few dinkers lol.

Very informative. Great video, thank you

This is great! I would imagine you would hook into some smallies in these creeks as well?

Beauties! Awesome video as always, I'll be putting these to use!

One of the best tutorials on the topic, well done! What River is that?

When they swallow the hook I cut the line as close as possible to the mouth of the trout and release them, unless they're bleeding heavily. Most hooks will rust out eventually.

yous a master bait fisherman!

Great video. What flavor billy rub did you use on that fly?

I recently have been using spinners for trout here in central wisco and most of the time it seems like it spooks them whenever it lands. Any tips on having that not happen?

Nice detailed video and very good presentation. At ~4:42 you talk about how wonderful the Eurotackle Micro Finesse braided line is and at ~17:21 you mention Sufix 832 braided line - are both lines equal in your opinion ? or which one do you favor most ? Also at ~14:09 you show a wet fly that you use on your spinning rod !! which is exciting to me as I didn't think it would be possible. Is that maribu tail prince nymph a weighted and what size were you using?

Hi from perth western Australia once u have hooked up do u not wind in crazy just take u time ? Longs drag set good to set hook ???

How do you know when to set the hook if you can’t see the fish?

What’s a good live bait rig for this? Should I just use split shot and hook and call it a day or would perhaps a barrel swivel, bead, slip sinker, and hook be good?

Nice brownies homie 🤘

Stranglehold Outdoors 👊

What size jig heads do you use with the swim baits?

...what?! Worm can?! Stumbled upon this video randomly and now... 🤯

Sir, I use Nightcrawlers in October November for Brown, Rainbow trout fishing? Please reply

How long is that rod and whats the weight on that rod? Is that fast action rod?

Can you tell me the manufacturer of the sling bag you use in the film. Thank you

What is your opinion on using spoons?

What line are you using? Size wise. Do you have a brand you prefer?

Is this northern Wisconsin?

I know you said your reel was a 1500 series but all I can find is a 1000 and 2000, no 1500. Is yours 2000 series?

Where is this at?

Have you had success casting downstream then?

Just use a float- That way you won't end up with so many deep hooked dead fish. What's the point of taking an 8 inch long fish for the table?

I’m learning how to fly fish but I will never fish with out my spin reel. Been doing that for 18 years

What was in his stomach?

Wet your hands 1st.

live bait...
