Fishing for Brood Trout With Ultralight Gear
It is officially winter in Oregon, and here in the mid-Willamette Valley, that means brood trout fishing. These are BIG rainbow trout that the hatcheries retire into local lakes and ponds, and we are going to target these hard fighting fish with minimalistic gear. Ultralight rods, reels and 2 lb test line are the order of the day. I'll give tips and techniques along the way as we buckle up and get ready to enjoy the ride!
Tips up, tight lines and have fun fishing!

    • @TheTroutHammer
      @TheTroutHammer 9 днів тому

      Thank you, and aside from fly lures, not likely. Salmon don't actually feed in fresh water. They're very territorial, and strike more out of reflex than hunger, so salmon lures are meant to be triggering. The story is same with roe, which they swallow out of a competitive response toward another salmon's eggs

    • @TheTroutHammer
      @TheTroutHammer Місяць тому

  • @crowdcor225
    @crowdcor225 Місяць тому
