How to Catch Trout on Spinners - Brown Trout, Brook Trout, and Rainbow Trout! (Colorado Fishing) 

I'm glad you love it!!

Thank you! Glad you liked the video!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed

Yeah we enjoyed this little creek! Lots of fish for sure. Thanks for watching!

They never fail!!

Thank you! Glad you liked the vid

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

I am also more partial to fly fishing.. but a sanity break never hurt anyone! Thanks for watching!

Spinners would have been great for me yesterday.. hiked up to an alpine lake that is known for good cutthroat, only to get 15-20mph winds right as I got the fly gear out.

Panther Martin spinners are amazing! Thanks for watching

Thanks man!

Good luck man!

Hardman Fishing Adventures Didn’t do great but I caught 5 trout, 3 fall fish and a chub. Biggest trout was around 11 inches and biggest fall fish was 15.5 inches

Thank you!

Yeah I 100% caught some trout on dry flies just after that little interview. I (of course) had my fly rod with me. Colorado is a different beast and I can't wait to show everyone the videos! I don't care if they do well or not it was some of the most fun I've ever had.

Panther marten is another good one, they're not my favorite though

What does “clip barbs” mean? 👀

Yeah it was kind of crazy while I was there to be honest. I guess its a good thing that so many people are fishing.. but it can also be annoying. Either way we had an absolutely amazing time! And have some amazing footage.

If you haven't hit up Pueblo, we have some great winter fishing. Come fish, grab some food and beer downtown. Walter's Brewery, Shamrock Brewery, Reservior Brewing, and Brues Alehouse to name a few.

Yessir it does! A little hatch was going off and the fish started going crazy. I caught a few fish on some little dry flies off camera. Always a fun time! Thanks for watching

I agree joe's flies are very good spinners. I tend to go with black gnat or white a lot personally, although I don't think colors matter too much. I disagree that spinner fishing is always more productive though. I think it depends on where you're fishing and what the trout are keying in on. I'd say its about 50/50 assuming you have a good fly angler. A great example is my brother was fly fishing during this video and he caught bigger fish than we did on the day (and bout the same number) because he was specifically keying in on what hatches were going off. A lot of times higher pressured areas the fish are wise to most spinner techniques.

@@hardmanfishing Both will work I agree and I do both consistently. I'm the opposite side of you on pressured fish. I guide in VA and NC. On pressured fish you have greater ability for reaction strikes with lures and the like. I've caught thousands both ways and enjoy both. Life depending on it and money on the line, I'll win with my spinning rod 8 times out of 10. Either way it's fun. Keep up the good work and right lines.

@@bjnelson9490 Reaction strikes do work a lot of the time. I guess I'd say reaction strikes and hatches going off even themselves out in my mind. But I've never fished NC! Thanks for watching and for having a convo without an argument.. seems rare on the internet these days. Tight lines!

@@hardmanfishing No need for argument. We're on the same Trout Team. We have excellent fishing in Western NC. Especially our delayed harvest program. They stock this 5 times a year from Oct. Thru May. Single hook artificial only. I am very fortunate to have 5 of those streams within 30 minutes of my house. Any day I want to go for 9 months it is a party so to speak. 15 to 20 each day is really no challenge. On stocking days if i have time 100 is not out of the question. Did that twice this past year. I go quite a bit after work, 2 to 3 good hours of fun. I've been all over Southeast, Canada and some of the West. Fished Northern Arkansas multiple times as well. Actually like the Little Red better out there. Enjoyed talking with you and keep videos coming . If u ever need a contact for NC my email is troutdrbj@gmail.com Take care

That is awesome! I hope you're son becomes a trout bum as well!! Thanks for watching

Love the panther martins!!

Glad you liked the video! Going barbless is definitely the move for easy catch and release.

Just mash em down.

Well this river was near Breckenridge. And it was technically a creek (Trib of Blue River). And I'm not sure what your issue is. If you're having trouble casting it may or may not be your line. Double check to make sure your line wt matches your rod and reel. Also make sure your fly line is made to cast dry flies (make sure its is floating line). I'd need more info to help you out anymore! But thanks for watching

That is always a good option, most regs where I fish do not say you can't use trebles, just that the hooks have to be barbless.

Yes I was using 6 pound mono line.. I'm not sure what you mean but type of drag? I try to keep it loose enough so a big fish won't break me off but not so loose that the little guys can pull drag.

I actually wasn't too far from there! Thanks for watching the video!

I don't think it ultimately matters. I've used both and like the fact that it is easy to pack a 2 piece. 1 piece rods tend to be annoying sometimes but the action is slightly better. Depends on what you value more.

@@hardmanfishing so you don't think the action on a 2 piece is much different from a one piece cause I have a one piece st croix and the 2 piece primier i got doesn't seem like a super big difference

Go try something slightly heavier! It allows you to make more accurate casts and control what your spinner is doing a little bit better. Although I do completely understand staying light (especially in really small streams)

Hardman Fishing Adventures what’s your favourite joes flys color?

Nope, all you need is the spinner

Hardman Fishing Adventures Do you tie the spinner straight to the line or do you use a swivel?

Congrats man!! Glad you're catching some fish

Hardman Fishing Adventures if you’re ever around Nederland, check out that lake bro. Beautiful spot and it’s stocked like crazy 😈🔥

Yes! It will be Episode 3 of THE COLORADO SERIES, which begins this Friday!

No not really, once you use a particular spinner or set of spinners for a while you can kind of tell when you're close to the bottom and how fast to real to avoid that. It's part of what I was talking about with things I can't really teach you, you just have to get out there and learn it. Thanks for watching!

I'll be covering that at some point. It's not always something I think about although I definitely do need to do it. Thanks for watching!

Popping your spinner can work great! It adds something that could trigger a strike. Just make sure the blades keep spinning

Hardman Fishing Adventures Yeah, sometimes I even pop it hard enough to make the blade stop for a split second. They can feel that vibration hesitate, sort of imitates something injured

Totally. I remove them from everything.

Okay first of all what do u mean four like baseball?😂 also if u were paying attention he is fishing in Colorado witch along with Wyoming has one of the highest populations of cutties.

Technically yes, although cutthroat don't usually exist in places with the other species of trout do. Out east that was indeed a slam.. Thanks for watching!

Lane Kejr Hi Lane.

Hartman is from W VA so slam should include a Golden. I've actually done that 6 times. Even caught 5 species one day. Threw in a Tiger Trout for good measure

That is a very simplified version... but yes technically that is how go fishing HAHAHA

Hardman Fishing Adventures sure is or you can do this, cast, retrieve, pause, retrieve, twitch, retrieve.

Listen it was like 55 degrees and I'm used to 85 degrees! I also had shorts on so I get some points

I don't disagree, there are a lot more advanced forms of fishing. But it doesn't mean that fishing with spinners and spin fishing in general doesn't require some degree of knowledge to be good at it.

I've never been all fly fishing my guy! I just do what I enjoy. I'm sorry to hear that you stopped watching, glad you came back to check out a video! Thanks for watching
