I would simply like to express how grateful I am that Rod no longer uses all caps for keywords in his video title. I understand the need at the time to be seen based on the algorithm, but the current (and original) titles suit his wholesome fishing content so much better 😌
Thanks Jeff! I agree too. I'm constantly experimenting to catch up with what the rest of RU-vid is doing, but at the end of the day, this is the style that I prefer so will always come back to it.
I fish in the same setting in the Lake or use Mepps spinners. The best bait is Berkley floating bait- color- Chartreuse. you can keep the yellow or pink color.
Try using shrimp off the bottom. Same bottom rig you were using (basically a carolina rig) except use as small a hook as possible and thread a really small dark colored corky before the hook. Pin the corky right by the hook. The corky will float up and keep your shrimp from sitting flat on the bottom. It'll float up enough to get into the strike zone. I use this with shrimp, nightcrawlers, single salmon eggs, you name it. Great video Rod!
I enjoy winter trout fishing too. I prefer using a float and still find it productive in winter, as long as I use very small pieces of bait. Shrimp and night crawler worms both work great. Often there are very few fish rising but they’ll still bite about 5’ below a float.
Hi Rod I really appreciate your channel, I am one of the persons that asked about this Lake and saw your rep,y about not telling where the lake is , Thank you , For me I have done a lot of exploring the back roads all up the weaver lake area and farther , both sides of Harrison , the lakes up by Chilliwack lake , up to a bunch of lakes past Pemberton , I was not asking to go and raid the spots I can’t go any more , I have been dealing with heart failure and other health issues , I was just curious, enjoying watching you fish and catching those nice trout , but I have figured out the spot and have been there before plus the other small lakes on both sides of the roadmany years ago except there was no dock then , Thankyou
That's good. I don't have a problem telling people where it is, just not publicly. I much rather encourage everyone to use the existing resources to find these lakes, which is pretty easy to do. FYI, at some point this year, this and a few other lakes are receiving new floating docks, which will be much nicer than existing ones and providing better access for anglers with limited options.
Fishing is something I wanted to do but never had the time. Now I bought a rod and a reel. Is there a fishermen's club that I can join and learn? GREAT STUFF BTW
Nice video Rod 🎣. The rig you was using with the Shrimps , in England is called a Pat&Oster. Or a modified drop shoot rig . Not alot of Fisherman use it anymore. I use it quite often, especially for long range casting. As all you will lose is the weight manly, if you get snagged. Using a lower brakeing strane line then your main line ( using a surgan knot ) to connect lines together. One more. You can also use a helicopter rig. Using stopper beads either side ot the swivel, so you can control the depth you are fishing.
Hi Rod, This lake seems to be so quiet. It must be a great therapy for stress? Great video. I have been trying to catch winter steelhead at the Vedder but so far no luck! I love trout fishing as well so I might try to find one of those lake and reduce my stress. Cheers! Seb.
Looks like you had a productive day . I won,t say the name of the lake buy does it start with G ?? I feel i recognize that fallen tree beside the dock ? lol
Yeah unfortunately our freshwater fishing regulations limit anglers to one rod per person if fishing from shore, or two rods per person if the angler is by him or herself in the boat. This is to prevent those who do not have a licence to illegally fish with a licenced angler who could then just claim the rod as his or her own when being checked by an officer. A stamp/tag system for one extra rod would be nice for sure.
Sometimes I like to put a berkley poweregg on right above or just on the eye of the hook, then a dough ball covering the shank of the hook so that if the dough is ever knocked off then the egg can still be there to hopefully seal the deal lol, just gotta make sure you use a light hook that can float with only one poweregg, I use the owner mosquito hook in size 8 and it floats perfectly. The dough puts more scent in the water but the egg is def more durable lol.
Yep! It is one of two dozen lakes stocked with these rainbow trout by GoFishBC/FFSBC in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley (Region 2). You can do a search in the database: www.gofishbc.com/Stocked-Fish.aspx And use their "Where to fish" section to find it. It should be pretty easy. 👍
Hey Rod, are you able to provide me any information on the diet provided to the stocked trout at the hatchery during their life prior to be released as catchables? Thanks in advance for any insight that you can provide.
The shrimp that I use are cooked, cocktail shrimp, deli shrimp as they are usually labeled. I buy bags from the frozen section at Superstore, usually look for the smallest shrimps available.
Thanks Chris. The rack is actually an electric boat loader made by "Load My Boat" in Kelowna BC. I use it to transport my 14 ft jon boat which would otherwise be impossible to lift on my own. www.loadmyboat.com
After they started biting the shrimp, did you try going back to the dough? It would have been interesting to find out if the trout were feeding on just the shrimp or if they were suddenly feeding on anything.
You were lucky as I was up at this lake about a week before and it was iced over, not thick enough to walk on though so no ice fishing and no casting from shore.
@@FishingwithRod by the way I have watched almost all your videos over the years and have learned a lot from you, even though I am 65 yrs young and have fished for years, so thanks for that. I live in the L.M. and fish around here, but also head to the east kootenay's each summer to fish the likes of the Elk, the Bull, the Wigwam, the Fording, Michel creek, St.Mary's river, etc.. and went somewhere new to me last summer, being the Salmo river. I sure would like to see some footage (if your'e up for it next summer) of the Goat river, the Granby river, and any Kettle valley rivers, as they seem to get through freshet earlier than a lot of other rivers, so are fishable earlier on.
Thanks. The East Kootenay had always been our summer destinations, until our kids arrived. 😉 Soon I'll be revisiting these fisheries as more time becomes available for sure.
@@jonnyherft2939 It's one of two dozen lakes stocked in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. 1/4 of them are frozen right now, another 1/2 are in the urban areas, so that leaves 1/4 for people to narrow down to the options. www.gofishbc.com/Stocked-Fish.aspx

Yep I got a video on that actually. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--W_6AXSJk4c.html Might do another one this spring if people have more questions that haven’t been covered.
They freeze and melt throughout the winter. I'm sure it's frozen again right now with the freezing temperatures we've experienced in the past few days.
Hi Rod I have the same boat as you the G3 1442 and I also have the same truck. I'm weighing the pros and cons if I should get a rooftop rack or a boat trailer. When you're driving on the highway does the truck feel unstable in the wind? Do you have trouble getting into underground parking lots?
Yeah the pros and cons are always running through my head about this as well. The pros for having this boat loader/rack is I can get into some lakes where it's impossible for trailered boats to access. Safety wise it's also better than the trailer since it's pretty much impossible to remove the boat without my remote control. The cons, there are several. Underground parking is impossible, so I have to plan ahead (the same could be said about trailer really). The other con is that it can get time consuming and labouring to unload the boat, set it up before going out, whereas with the trailer you can just drop the boat into the water. One more thing about my electric boat loader, is that the 1442 is probably the biggest craft it can pull and I always recommend that a 12 or 10 footer would be more ideal for the loader. I've had the motor of the loader changed once because it was losing its power, the boat can be too heavy for it to pull up. If you are just using a roof rack, I'm not sure how you can load a 1442 by yourself with it. It usually takes three people to move that boat around.
@@FishingwithRod I've seen people put transom wheels so the boat can be rolled around upside down with one end on the ground. I was thinking you might be able to get one side propped up onto the rear bar then slide the boat forward but yes it's very big and heavy for a Jon boat and probably easier said than done. But hey thank you for the response I appreciate that.
Oh one more thing I forgot to add! Back to your question about whether the boat affects the driving. It doesn't. With my boat loader, I actually don't even tie it down with additional straps beside the ropes connected to the loader. Once that boat is on there and the motor tightens up the ropes, you can't even move it. I drive through some pretty heavy wind in this area with the boat on top and never have had an issue. Fuel performance though, is a bit painful. Loading the boat manually with wheels is probably doable. I know for sure that I can't do it, because I'm too short and only weigh 130lb, i'd end up being crushed by it lol.
I've never had a problem with Fire Bait following off actually. The soft it becomes may have to do with temperature. I always store mine away from the sun.
Hiya Rod! Went to that lake and found a half a dozen people already there with boats and kayaks....my wife was disappointed and we left...LOL! Just kidding! But they were there, so that should help people understand why it's important that you don't divulge the lake's location. I did my own research :) and will probably go there another time...

I used to catch so many on that sparkle power bait in California with the sliding egg skinker and floating bait. It was pretty crazy how well it worked down there.
@@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures Yah I have friends who swear by power bait. I’ve used it before and wasn’t a fan of the mess it makes, and the residual sparkles I somehow got on my face😝
