Who uses plastic worms for trout?! 🐟🤔 Check out how to fish them in a river or creek here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TtfSwra9y8g.html
Nice to see Charles getting in on the tutorial action! I've never used pink worms for trout. I love that you can catch and release since they aren't technically bait. Thanks Charles!
I started using a casting bubble with a Pistol Pete fly (wooly bugger with propeller) for the first time at the beginning of this year. I’ve caught more trout this year then I have any previous year By FAR. Cast it out like a bullet and do a steady retrieve with twitches every now and then. Fun way for kids to learn how to trout fish!
My daughter uses a similar pink worm and she kills it with just a 2 ft leader, swivel and a little split shot up about a ft from the worm. She casts it out and jigs it back in slowly. Works everywhere she’s tried it local pond, rivers, creeks, big lakes. She loves that setup.
Great video and thanks for telling the size of line and hook. I feel those are important when rigging and a lot of time people don’t mention line hook sinker and swivel size.
Man that set up worked perfect. I used a sinking fly, as bait, and put a tiny crimp weight about 7 or so intches from the fly... Fishing in northern California in Shasta lake good trout fishing.. thanks for the set up man been catching alot lately
I like to fill the water bobber all the way up with water and then use it like a countdown rig and when you find the depth that the fish are at a super slow retrieve usually works best....i drag pink orange or chartruse worms, wooly buggers curltail grubs etc behind em
Trying this for sure this year. I fucked with plastic worms last year trying to figure out extremely high pressured stockers and didn't realize what I was doing wrong until now. Awesome video.
i use almost exact same set up, I use a smaller worm and lighter line 4lb. braid, 6lb leader, #4 hook and small drift float. I'll have to check out the water bobber!
I have used this setup many times. Lake Amadore, in gold country northern California. They cut-bow trout. I would use power bait flattened out on a smaller hook. Same length liter.
Hey Addicts glad you all are enjoying the content and thank you for all the kind words more importantly I hope this and our other content is helping you all become more successful!🤙🎣
I went out n bought barbless hooks and a nice net for that exact reason. I haven’t caught a trout yet but I found a beauty stream that’s like 3ft across n maybe 2 feet deep like 15min from my house that holds a bunch Lake Ontario steelhead. I’d probably cry if I killed one of those beauties
I found these work best bottom fishing them on a Carolina rig. Just bounce them or drag them and trout will always pick em up. Even in the dead of winter trout can’t resist them.
I just use pink trout magnets on the fly rod. It kills em. And if the bite is tough, I'll cheat a little and use power bait. Sometimes I put it under a strike indicator (bobber) or I'll just pull it in.
I was here in Michigan on a bridge/road about 60 feet up. We saw a huge rainbow sitting behind a rock. We didn't have tackle, but I was chewing bubble gum. It was PINK, I dropped it near the trout, and it immediately swam out from behind the rock and picked it up! Of course it spit it out right away, but man, if it had a hook in it?...
@@trevormccamon877 mixed. I was taught this technique 35 years ago by old man Bill from Bill's Boathouse on American lake. Many years later started doing it in Irvine lake in California, and do it to this day.
@@stevedyer5902 you add a weight on the line with a leader after the weight so the powerbait floats up a foot or two off the bottom depending how long you make the leader
@@milopriborsky5273 yes tawas state dock minnows on a slip bobber and a small slit shot to get your minnow down to about 6 or 7 feet on the inside of the state dock. Rainbow to l got pictures to prove it.
@@milopriborsky5273 at the mouth of the ausable river to same thing. Fish on the south pier in the lake side. And you can us a half a nightcrawler inflated with air 2 foot off the bottom on a slip sinker
Come up to Whatcom, if you get the chance. We've got some killer cutthroat lakes. They tend to be pretty inconsistent, but I've caught some real nice fish.
Your technique slightly different than mine. I use a smaller clear bubble (it will cast far with light 4-6 lb mono), but I make sure that there is no air in the bubble or else it will float. The idea of a clear bobber filled completely with water is so the fish are not spooked by the wake the bubble makes when retrieving . Filling it completely allows it to sink just under the surface of the water and a slow retrieve without the float being visible. You will know when you get a fish, there is no guessing they will hit with anger. Also this technique works for flies as well. I keep an assortment of different size and color wooly buggers and streamers as well as different color rubber worms since pink does not always work, and worms may not be working either. I use mono for main line since I really only need the fluorocarbon for the leader, much less expensive, and I am particular about my swivel and only use ball bearing swivels for all my fishing.
Charles, Thanks for the technique! I'm gonna try putting a bobber stop after the bead and a shorter fluorocarbon leader so its easier to cast and so I can fish different depths.
I like to use the clear tear drop bobber with the hollow rubber tube. It allows you to twist the line where you want it and it uses water also. Trail a fly behind it when the fish are hitting the top... I catch fish when other aren't...
Well done. It usually takes me a couple few tries with my glasses on to tie those knots with small 6 pound test. (even then, not gracefully) It doesn't look like a big investment, so I will make it a point l try your setup.
