My HOMEMADE FISH HATCHERY (Will it work?) 🤷🏻‍♂️

When I was a kid, I built a little trout hatchery on a tiny creek on our property. And it actually worked! Here's how I did it...

[@jameskramer5614]

When are you going to catch some of trout in that creek and make a video there

[@fishwithjd]

Well I will have to give it a try next time I’m at Grandma’s house!

[@stevensidhu9607]

That is pretty cool !

[@fishwithjd]

Thats awesome i wanted to put a stripe bass in my grandfathers freshwater river that ran behind his house a few of them but they sold the house and it was a stupid idea lol

I love your ideas,, and I love the underwater bites video, gives me an idea on how they behave with baits and lures.. Have you gone fishing in Washington State lately? What would you consider as your go-to setup for fishing salmon in rivers in any water condition? (particularly Kings and Coho, even though we have Pinks running this year). Any recommendations and advice is much-appreciated... and needed!!

[@fishwithjd]

Thanks! Well it’s hard to pick one go-to for multiple species but to tackle all three of those I’d probably go with a 3/8 ounce purple or pink Hawken twitching jig. Good luck!

@@fishwithjd Thanks for the tip, will definitely give it a try!🤙🏽🤙🏽

Was that little creek the gateway drug for you?

[@_fishingpa]

could you make a video of the bucket?

[@fishwithjd]

That’s a good idea! I’m in Alaska right now so can’t do it right away. Thanks

[@xmaxout5372]

Nice... would a rainbows be good in a small pond? With a liner and pump?

[@fishwithjd]

Cold be...just depends on water temp. Too warm and they won’t make it.

[@xmaxout5372]

@@fishwithjd would cleaning the water hurt them?

[@fishwithjd]

@@xmaxout5372 They are pretty sensitive

[@TiredAmerican247]

You’d need a water chiller to keep the water cold enough

[@Bewefau]

I'm confused how that worked? You put the eggs in the dirt ? How did the babies go into the bucket if you had a screen cover it why not put the eggs into the water ?

[@fishwithjd]

Bucket fills with water from the bottom up…eggs put in gravel on a screen in the middle of the bucket. Water constantly flows over the eggs until the hatch.
