What It's Like Fly Fishing MINUTES After a Trout Stocking... (Insane)
Переглядів 2,5 тис.14 днів тому
A normal day of fishing at the Salt River in Arizona turned into a cool opportunity when the Arizona Fish and Game trout stocking truck showed up at the location I was fishing! I had heard before that fish are generally very disoriented right after stocking, and that they won't bite and are difficult to catch. Always up for a challenge, this opportunity excited me... could I get them to bite? I...

    Hey buddy, that's really embarrassing and unprofessional, fishing for carp, grass carp and tench with a small landing net for brown trout and grayling. Every fisherman knows what he's catching and what tools he should have, and a landing net is essential, you won't be balancing on the water like a fool. You'll safely catch a big fish and it won't jump out of a larger landing net and hurt itself. And you won't fall into the water. Homo Sapiens is a wise man and should use his brain. And you're setting a bad example for beginners. That's why I won't subscribe to the channel.

    Hey fishermen, going for carp with a landing net for small trout is as stupid as pulling a 5-ton caravan with a Mazda 2. You need a 3m rod and a large landing net, min. 70 cm. You won't hurt yourself or the fish. Turn on your brain. thanks

    @gregg9768 13 днів тому

    You proved a few things in this video for example it doesn’t take a couple of days for the trout to settle after stocking before they will bite. How about “match the hatch” but in your case you triggered the trout with your woolly bugger. I have seen that brown horse standing behind me earlier this year when I was fishing in the same spot where the stocking truck was in your video. Then it slowly walked across the river and into the dessert. I hope to see you at the river again. Great video, Greg

    • @KevinRapkochFishing
      @KevinRapkochFishing 13 днів тому

      Hey Greg, good to hear from you again. Yeah, with those freshly stocked trout, there's not much of a hatch that they recognize yet, so it's helpful to try to activate their bites with some streamer action (small, leech like wooly buggers will do the trick). That was definitely a cool horse, very chill. Hope to see you out there again! Tight lines. 🙂✌️🎣

    great video ! what part of the salt river is that i've been trying to find new parts , also do you know where they have the sucker fish at

    • @KevinRapkochFishing
      @KevinRapkochFishing 16 днів тому

      It's the bridge (Pebble Beach), one of the common stocking sites. The Sonoras are throughout the river, but it's best to fish them in slower moving and deeper water. 🙂✌️🎣

    Holy Bow Frenzy! 🎉🎣 That's so awesome to see them all schooled and riled up after their entrance to the river haha. Do you find stocked trout more aggressive and willing to eat flies vs wild? Wrap that finger up buddy, you know it's a good day fishing when!? 😂 That wild horse wasn't shy! Awesome video dude! Keep up the great work as always my friend! 🎉😀🤘

      Hey brother! I think that stocked trout are easier to fool than wild trout, or at least, don't get spooked as easily as wild trout. As far as being aggressive though... I feel like both stocked and wild have their moments of being aggressive 🤷. This was the 3rd fishing trip in a row that I opened up that line cut on my finger haha ... I guess it's a good thing, since it's related to catching some fish! Catching that fish in front of that horse was pretty sweet... Definitely a memory! Thanks for watching and always supporting the channel, brother! Hope your week is going well. 🙂✌️🎣
