Fishing with Rod: Float fishing for urban trout

Every spring, there are over a dozen lakes around Vancouver where anglers can enjoy fishing for stocked rainbow trout. Although it is not an exotic fishery, these opportunities cater families and those who are just starting out in sportfishing. In this trip, we take a look at lakes around Squamish, a small town between Vancouver and Whistler. For more videos, please visit: www.fishingwithrod.com Subscribe to go Fishing with Rod!

    when i was in the south fork of the flathead there was a big cutthroat next to our campsite. he was very tame and stayed by shore while we were a? few feet from him. we happened to have some shrimp and i threw a small piece in front of him and he ate it. that fish got about a half pound of crappy shrimp that night.

    why don’t you use floating? pwegg..?

  4. fishingwithrod says:

    I bought it in Australia when I was a teen 20 years ago. Best? $10 ever spent!

  5. chilluout says:

    Hey dude where did you get that rod holder from? I can’t seem to find one like that…all the ones I’ve found are complicated and lack the simplicity of what you? have.

  6. fishingwithrod says:

    A hearing check might not be a bad? idea.

    Rod..less talking because i cant even understand what you are saying..you are mumuring at yourself…:(?

  8. skcuf1 says:

    That trout swam? away lazily

  9. The81Ghost says:

    man ur just? awesome!!!! thank you for these videos!

  10. seosnatch says:

    Good to see someone thinking so deep and sharing? it so easily with the world.

  11. fishingwithrod says:

    Thank you for the kind words. We’ll? keep producing for our subscribers. 🙂

  12. OscarAquarium24 says:

    Love the channel!!! Your a? great host!!!

  13. fishingwithrod says:

    Worms, shrimp, eggs should work just? fine, but usually we prefer to use lures or flies for wild trout.

  14. crackparty says:

    Perhaps I missed it, but do you have any videos on catching wild trout with a spinning rod? Stocked trout are too easy to catch, but wild trout seem almost impossible to catch at times. What’s a good bait method for wild trout? will they take? shrimp? I think that’s about the only thing I haven’t tried.

  15. savagechevyman says:

    i just use an? “Ugly Stik”, 7ft long, medium light action for anything from peamouth up to 30+ pound lakers

  16. fishingwithrod says:

    Look up Daiwa SMC Spinmatic®-C Ultralight and Fenwick HMXS series. Both have ultralight models,? not 9′, but close enough (8′, 8’6″).

  17. jtdd01 says:

    I have? been having a hard time finding a 9′ long (approximately) light spinning rod. Do you have any suggestion on a non-custom rod?

  18. fishingwithrod says:

    The rod I am using was custom built with a Rainshadow flyfishing rod blank (9′ long, 4wt, 4 pieces). I am a big fan of light spinning rod,? especially the long ones. This rod was made specifically for float fishing for smaller fish (a couple of lbs). I usually outfit it with a small spinning reel that is spooled with 4 or 6lb test. You can see this rod in action in our latest video “Lystfiskerinden”.

  19. jtdd01 says:

    I was wondering what brand/model is the? rod you are using?

    I am wanting to try this type of fishing. Besides your suggested 9 foot spinning rod, what power, action, line&lure wieght ratings do you look for? Would a noodle rod work?

  20. fishingwithrod says:

    Perhaps, give it a? try!

  21. igorotv says:

    it is possible to use? also small slice of ham?

  22. bccanoe says:

    Great video as always!
    I tried a sliding float rig for the first time this season, it has worked very well. I? tie a stopper knot above the sliding float using a piece of fly line backing, although dental floss would probably work. The stopper knot can be slid up or down depending on the depth you are fishing, I’ve fished successfully at depths up to 12 feet. The stopper knot does not affect casting, and passes through the guides easily (I just leave it on when I switch to lures)

  23. fishingwithrod says:

    Surely it would work, as long as you can find a way to keep it? on the hook.

  24. bc71766 says:

    i was wondering .. did any one try using those sun-dryed shrimps that you can buy for cheap in? chinatown … … just wondering

  25. fishingwithrod says:

    It should not make a difference. Personally, when targeting wild trout, we prefer to fish with artificial lures or flies, especially if we intend to? release them. Bait caught fish usually have a higher chance of dying when released. Good luck.

  31. monello99z says:

  38. PrairieDogPress says:

    I caught a few trout in Yellowstone this summer. That bus-sized rainbow of yours could have eaten all mine for a snack. Amaaaazing fish. I posted an underwater video of cutthroats from the area you were fishing – search “Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout? Spawning”.

  39. mlbchamps1908 says:

    “egg pattern, Michigan style!” — laugh my ass off. Brings me back to the Pere M. Great vid guys;? That was a beast in Trout Lake.

  40. infowarrior1999 says:

    fuck? a license..sweet trip.

  41. GoldenOliver says:

    Nice vid. We were on Slough Creek the SAME day as you guys. You guys were in the Second Meadow while we were hooked up on a cut. We were also fiming. Check out our vid. Search YouTube for “Trout Media – Big Sky”. Yellowstone is great and documenting your trip helps others get a better feel for the awesome? sights out there.

  42. vvgmhod4 says:

    Kudos to the guys manning the camera. Lots of beautiful shots in this video. Gotta love HD. Including video? of the drive and preparation helps capture the anticipation which is such a big part of a fishing trip like this. Well done.
