Thank you for watching and subscribing. You have a great channel. Subbed.

@@WanderingIdahoanFishing I appreciate the kind words. Thank you

Next time I go for some of these little guys I'll hang on to a few to try in the Snake River. Thanks for watching and for the suggestion.

Yes sir, it is tiny. They don't get much tinier. Sometimes, when the fish aren't biting, you'll take what you can get when you can get it. Thanks for watching.

Yes! I've tried a lot of reels and these just work for me. I have 5 of them and they are workhorses for the price. Do you use them? Thanks for watching.

@@WanderingIdahoanFishing I love mine. I don’t have the presidential but have been thinking about it. I got my grandpa a really nice Saint croix with the presidential reel. He loves it. I use one of the all white Walmart pfluegers, my favorite reel I’ve ever owned aside from Mach Smash baitcasters. My buddy has one, my grandpa has one, my other grandpa has one, and my grandma has one, all the same brand and 3000 series😂😂smoothest reel I’ve ever owned

@@creeksquad228 They should be paying your family as a sponsor, my goodness. That is awesome. They are amazing. I've been eyeing the white version for my ice fishing rod. Might have to do it now. :)

@@WanderingIdahoanFishing I would highly recommend it! I wish. I caught my first smallmouth the other day, 6 pounder out of Northern Michigan. Caught it on my saintcroix rod with my white pflueger, coulda had a bad ass sponsorship photo 😂😂

@@creeksquad228 That's a nice fish! Hard to find smallys that size over here. We mostly deal in rainbow trout and cutthroats. We have some bass in the Snake River, but it's more of a trek to get there to fish.

That pond can be a challenge. They stocked it with some really nice trout recently and you hooked one. That's awesome! If you see me arrive, come say hi. Good luck on your next fishing adventure. Thanks for watching.

It has crossed my mind. Perhaps I will at some point but there are a few things that are prohibitive at the moment. Thanks for watching. Any good TH-cam channels you'd recommend to learn more about fly fishing?

@@WanderingIdahoanFishing well I just barely started fly fishing and a channel called flyfish Dan has help me a lot 😁

@@Vindland2829 Thank you. Best of luck on your fly fishing adventure.

Thanks for watching.

It really is. It reminds me of fishing as a kid. So many good memories, it just means something more than you'd expect. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching. It's a rainbow trout, but if you watch my next series I do catch a couple small bass (spoiler alert). I appreciate you watching. Subscribe for more.

Yeah, I love catching rainbows because they are so gorgeous. Thanks for watching.

@@WanderingIdahoanFishing ofc man

Thanks for the feedback.

Two reasons: It protects the fish from the oils on my hands (you can dip bare hands in the water before handling the trout as well), and it saves me from having to scrub several layers of skin off after every fishing trip to get rid of that "fishy smell" that my wife isn't a fan of. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching.

?

I wonder that all the time I get to hit the water for fish. Thanks for watching.

@@WanderingIdahoanFishing g

Hahaha, nah. It does protect the fish some by preventing contact with the oils in human skin. Also my wife is not a fan of the fishy smell and the gloves save me from having to scrub off layers of skin after every fishing trip. Win/win/win. Thanks for watching. Not huge trout but big enough to be fun on that ultralight rig.

@@WanderingIdahoanFishing hahaha she otta be used to that smell lmfao

@@MichaelTravis-x2d She picks up smells that I am completely ignorant of. It is like a superpower with her. I'd rather do what I can to help her than expect her to just deal. Just my thing. :)

They were gorgeous in morning light. Thanks for watching.

There was no one the whole morning. In the evening it can get busy. I showed up 2 hours before sunset and was alone initially, but an hour later I had about 12 other people around me.

I appreciate it. The sunset really made the colors pop on that fish. Thanks for watching.

Thanks! The number of red wing black birds at this pond was a little crazy. They are common around every pond but they were everywhere at this one.

Thanks for watching! I appreciate it.

It truly is. Thanks for watching.

For a telescopic rod it really is a good little ultralight. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching. I love catching trout on jigs and an ultralight rig. Makes it an absolute blast to land them.

Browns Pond in McCall. Great little pond that is always a lot of fun to fish. I have always hit double digits on this pond.

Those sunfish species are gorgeous. I wish there were more of them around these parts. Thanks for watching. Liking your channel. Good luck out there.

Awesome! I plan on going back to catch some of the smaller panfish with my tenkara rod. I would love to get a bass out of there too, but that may be a goal for next year. Glad you were able to get that crappie. Love it!

Crappie are a super fun fish to hook into. They can be a little hard to find in my neck of the woods, but I am definitely going to target them more often when I can.

Air pumps to keep the oxygen levels of these local ponds stable. Helpful to prevent fish kills, but they can be a snag magnet.

That is for sure. Fun catch but the bigger trout are preferred.

🥇

Thanks for watching. Worms on a float was a winning combo for me. Tried some other options first but the worms really did the trick. I hope you can hook into some of those bigger ones.

Thanks! It was a fun day for sure. I have to try for bass on my next trip there. I hear there are some good sized ones.

Funny went there to catch crappie and didnt get any. I got 3 bass and a bunch of bluegill though. 😅 Maybe we should switch places.​@@WanderingIdahoanFishing

@@brox2098 I will be going there again soon to try for bass. I am happy to switch luck with you for our next trips. :)

Is it? Subscribe for more crazy.

Thanks for watching. I'm curious why you think I need to?

You definitely should. They are pretty good size and fun to hook into.

Thanks for watching and for the question. It is a solution I adopted for two reasons. My wife is sensitive to pond water and fish smells, and I don't like scrubbing layers of skin off my hands after every fishing trip. This solved both issues. I have no criminal record but plead the 5th on any cop questions. :P

Not sure about turtles, but they might be in this pond. Found a baby snapping turtle near a pond by my house, and they are not native to Idaho. It was donated to a local reptile rescue place. Most likely it was a sneaky bluegill or crappie that managed to grab a bit of the worm without getting the hook and then managed to tear off the rest of the worm when it dove back to the bottom.

Hello fellow Idahoan. Thanks for watching. I'm in the southwest, Boise area. I was born and raised here in Idaho and feel so blessed to live in this beautiful state, and not just for the fishing. If you're interested in seeing interesting parts of Idaho I have my Adventures channel here on TH-cam, Wandering Idahoan Adventures. You live in a beautiful area. We hope to be adventuring in that area more in the near future.

I do. My wife is sensitive to fish and pond water smell and I got tired of scrubbing layers of skin off my hands after every fishing trip. Not sure why it matters, but thanks for watching and asking the question. :)

What is your setup man? It’s nice!

@@imcross7738 Thanks! None of it is super spendy. The rods are Plussino telescopic rods, which makes them easy to store. I like the Pflueger President spinning reels (I have the 35B on those rods and a 20X on my ultralight setup). My line is the KastKing Superpower braided fishing line, yellow, 10lb with a 2-3 foot 8 or 10lb leader. Can get one whole rig complete for about $100 on Amazon. The reel is a splurge, though, and you can easily do just as well with a cheaper reel. For my local ponds, the drop shot rig tends to work the best for me, but I fish mostly in the off-season in those areas. Thanks for watching and for the question.

Thank you! That pond has not been getting much love from F&G, and the cormorants are still feeding there in large numbers, so it has been difficult.

@@WanderingIdahoanFishing That’s a bummer, it used to be a great place to fish!

@@thetroutslayer It was. Hopefully will be again...someday.

That was a good day. Thanks for the support. I'll see you out there again soon.

Okay. Have a blessed day.

How did I kill it when I released all of these fish? Thanks for commenting.

Yes, they can breed them. By definition rare means: "(of a thing) not found in large numbers and consequently of interest or value." Even though they can create more, they don't, which makes it rare by definition. Yes, it gets more people fishing. Both can be true, and I don't have an issue with any of it. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks for watching. Hoping to try getting some different species soon with the warmer weather.

Thank you! I'm so surprised the palominos are still around but I caught one just the other day there too. McDevitt wasn't even biting today, still. *sigh

Thanks so much!! Keep slaying my friend!

Two reasons really. 1) My wife hates the smell of fish, so it saves me from having to scrub off a few layers of flesh on my hands after every fishing trip. 2) It offers warmth in the winter without having to wear thick gloves that limit mobility and sensitivity to the bite and in the warmer months it provides better grip than otherwise. Love it or hate it, it works for me.

Thank you. New species dropping Saturday morning.
