Glad you enjoyed this steelhead episode and thanks for tuning in :)

I have not fished from a kayak yet, but if things work out this summer, we will try to do an episode fishing form a canoe :) So glad you are enjoying our videos and thanks for the nice feedback and kind words....it is very much appreciated

Hi Jeremiah - when fishing for trout, roe bags would be our go-to bait. Float fishing with a roe bag is also very effective when fishing shallow water or suspended fish :)

Great to hear for you waylonfna01 and thanks for tuning into our episodes :) You can use roe bags in a lake and they will work for you. The way we set up our roe bag rig is with the sinker tied to the bottom and then the roe bag tied to a hook which hangs above the sinker (we do not use a sliding sinker rig)

Good luck Jacob :)

Great to hear from MN - plenty of great fishing there and the warm weather is just around the corner :)

Thanks for writing in

Great to hear from you in Iowa Shawn and glad you enjoyed this steelhead trout episode :)

Glad you enjoyed this steelhead episode :) Yes, I like to attach fluorocarbon line to my main line that leads to my T-Turn and then I use about a foot of Fluorocarbon line from my T-Turn to my sinker :)

Hi Aidan - I see you tried spinners and they usually work (such as a mepps or a panther martin - small spinners). You can also try small casting spoons (1/4 oz) and there is one other bait you can try and that is corn. Try using corn that you get out of a can from your local grocery store and just put 2 or 3 kernels on a hook - good luck Aidan and if all goes well, the new Thundermist premium quality braided line will be released in a few weeks :)

Use shrimp! I have a small lake I fish in that's in town when I can't get into the beautiful black hills here is south Dakota. I seen people using all the same stuff you were talking about so I decided to try something different. I can't keep the trout off the hook when I started using shrimp. I'm talking 5 pounders. It's amazing!!

Hi Gabriel glad you enjoyed this trout episode :) I like to run about a foot of line from my T-Turn to my sinker. I also like to run a fluorocarbon leader off my main line to my T-Turn and as a genera rule, I like to use about twice the length of my rod as my leader (i.e. if my rod is 7 feet long, I will have about a 14 foot leader line :)

We have drifted with the viper spoon for trout and the SP1 size is perfect :)

you can get snagged up...it's important to stay focused and just bounce your sinker along the bottom, in order to avoid snags :)

The roe bags advantage is that you can tie a few eggs in a sack - if you poke a single salon egg, it will burst on you - also, the roe bags will catch you all sizes of trout, even small ones :)

okay, thanks! I will have to try those on some of my local rivers and streams

best to fish the shoreline at the boat launch - lots of room there and great fishing....just go to the end of Dumfries st and continue down dirt road to the boat launch area - good luck :)

Thanks for sharing your tips with us :)

Hi Brad - the manufacturing is just being finalized soon - so we do not have a firm date yet, but most likely in the next 2 - 3 weeks :)

Hi Fred - sometimes there is a back current which does go the opposite way, and generally, it is closer to shore - you should be able to cast out just a bit further to get into the main current - good luck next time - hope you have a great day out there :)

***** It turns out I was fishing just a bit to the south from where you were. Huge difference since there is a substantial back eddy which extends out a couple of hundred feet from shore. The current in this eddy actually goes back up river and is much faster than where you were. Looking forward to trying again. How much more good shore steelhead / rainbow season do you think that spot will provide?

Fred Stratton Hi Fred - I know exactly where you were fishing, next to the boat ramp and although there is a back eddy there, that is actually a very good spot. In the fall, it is lined with people :) Most of April should still be good for Rainbows - after that, the Lake Trout move in :)

Hi Nate - in the case of a lake with little or no current, you can still sue roe bags, but you would end up still fishing as opposed to bottom bouncing... you should still do well though - you can use the same rig :)

I use a bobber and hook with a roe bag or 3 or 4 single eggs on it. Cast upstream and let the current take it, even if there is a slow run it is still good. Just my Op.

Look for drop offs that drop into deeper water and fish the break :) Good luck

Hi there Adk - great to hear from you in NY - this trout episode was filmed on the lower Niagara river in Queenston, which is not far from Niagara on the lake. The Niagara River has a strong current and thus does not freeze over. You are going to love using the T-Turn swivel as it allows you to fish tangle free and free of line twist as well :) The mesh used to tie roe bags can be bought at your local tackle shop (never tried clementine bag mesh). Perhaps some day we will fish Lake Champlain, but in the meanwhile, here is one of our videos that will show you how to tie your own roe bags: How to Tie Roe Bags

***** Thanks for the reply I knew the current was strong near the falls and whirlpool but down river thought it would freeze as the St Lawrence has a strong current but it freezes but I saw video and your professional! Yes Lake Champlain is very popular with Bass Tourneys the pros with there $100,000 boats that can cover the whole lake in 2 hrs haha just youtube it... Do you have a store that accepts paypal to buy your products? Thanks to your son Corrado I found your channel would love to see him and Saskia fish with you bet you would sell a ton of lures!!!

Adk Beau Nice to hear from you and you certainly can buy from our online store and use paypal :) As for Corrado and Saskia, maybe we can get them out some day, but they are always travelling and so busy :)

Hi Chris - it is excellent - right in front of Lewiston NY :) Many angels fish the shoreline there

+reelfishing My best steelhead spot would be the Niagara River - either the upper or the lower as they are both great and I'm with you on the roe bag as being one of the best baits

salmon eggs

Great to hear from you in Windsor - I was just there fishing the Detroit river for early season walleye :) I have not put a "stinger" type hook under my roe bag as it is not really needed in that case. Good luck on the water

Hi Stefano - we had our own salmon eggs but they would be the same as the natural ones you can buy in a jar :) Good luck trout fishing :)

Hi Rob - sorry for the delay.....I somehow did not see your comment...Peters Tackle in St. Catharines or Erie Tracker in Port Colborne or Fishing World or Bills B&T in Hamilton:)

Hi Matt - suggest jigging for them - use a jig and artificial minnow combo (like the Flexi Jig) or use a jigging spoon (such as the Boa Jig'r) Both of these will work well for you as will a bucktail jig. Also, if you have a good drift going, you can even use a Viper Spoon :)

Thanks Ivo

Not sure exactly :)

Glad you enjoyed this steelhead trout episode :) Some tackle shops do sell roe bags but if not, you can easily make your own - here is one of our short videos which will show you exactly how to tie them :) How to Tie Roe Bags

Hi Michael - the drag should be tight enough so that when you pull on your line, it should give a bit - so tighten it to the point where it doesn't give at all and then back off on it until such time that it gives a bit. This will allow for a solid hook set, but yet not break you off. When you are fighting the fish, you can then loosen up on your drag a bit :) Tips on Using your Drag, Fish Fighting Tips, and Tips on Rod Positioning

Hi Jay - for trout fishing, my preference is a medium action rod :)

Suggest going down with about about 3 - 4 feet below your float - a small split shot is all you will need for weight, as your bobber will help you gain the casting distance. the split shot can be a foot above your hooks and the swivel can be 2 feet above your split shot - good luck :)

***** how about how long of a leader the water there is deep

Vanouhi I personally like to have my leader line about twice the length of my main line...here is one of our quick tips videos giving a quick demo....kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h9mledqAlZaWqn0.html

***** ok thanks

I like to use a uni-knot and here is a short video that will show you how easy it is to tie and its very effective :) How to Tie a Uni Knot - How to Tie 2 Fishing Lines Together

Braydon Swartz We tied our own roe bags but most local tackle shops should carry them - especially if trout are a main target in that area :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b5ycZNaGz7_Ipn0.html

Thank you for the info!!:)

Hi Jennifer - in this steelhead episode, I was using roe bags which is salmon eggs tied in a small sack :)

We were trout fishing in the lower Niagara River in Queenston Ontario - opposite to Lewiston NY

oh, okay thanks i thought you were in the middle of the states and was wounder how you were trout fishing! haha but now i know thanks!!

+Last Destiny this trout episode was filmed on the lower Niagara river in Queenston Ontario :)

Hi Tim - you are right, just down from the dock area - that whole are is good trout fishing :) Peters Tackle and Erie tracker locally, carry the t-turns and if you are in the USA, Dicks Sporting goods and Gander Mountain also carry them, as do many other shops. If you can not find them anywhere, you can always order on line from Thundermist Lure Company :)

***** is it near nigrapark way ?? did you have to go down or is it better to go to river frontage road

This spot is right off of the Niagara Parkway as you get into Fort Erie - if you are looking for an easy to find area, just look for Nichols Marine as there is a public parking lot right beside them and you can fish off the rocks or just off to the side of them. An easy way to find this spot is to take the Bertie Road Exit off the QEW. Take it right to the end...it ends at Nichols Marine :) Make a left and then a quick right into the parking lot - good luck

so this area whereyou guys shot this isnt in queenston is this spot just before the hydo electic station sorry for all the question but thanks Ivo

Hi Young Buck - I must be having a tough night....this episode was actually filmed in Queenston....we did another episode in Fort Erie and I accidentally thought you were asking about that one - sorry about that :) The spot in this episode, is just to the left of the dock at Queenston - on the other side of the Jet Boat dock. That whole area both to the right of the dock and to the left of the dock, is all good :) Also, as for the T-Turns (sorry I missed that part of your question last time as well) if your local store doesn't have them, most locations of Dicks Sporting Goods (not all, but most) have them and same goes for Gander Mountain. Otherwise, you can get them on line from Tackle Direct or Amazon or from Thundermist Lure Company. Good fishing

Glad you're enjoying our videos and thanks for taking time to write to us :)

Heh you wouldn't want to see the ones we have to keep then! Have to eat two and make a few sides just for a meal :)

Hi Nancy - thanks for your feedback. Here in Ontario, we do not have such a size limit. Hope your Spring is going well :)

They ate it.
