keep your rod tip up, and don't horse the fish. just keep the line tight and take what the fish gives you. sixty five years of trout fishing has taught me not to pump the rod or try to break the trouts neck.jmho
Good advice! I’m trying not to be too rough with them, I’ve lost so many this year I’m probably too timid with them sometimes. I am also using more weedless hooks than I have in the past so not sure I’m getting initial solid hookups either. Since most ones that get off are on that #3 weedless hook on that smaller paddle tail. Thanks for watching!
I like how you show the adjustments you have to make based on conditions.
Thanks! It was tough fishing. I didn’t show the storms to much, but they were all around us threatening us most of the day. Thanks for watching!
Great video. Looked like tough fishing. Good info though!
Thanks! Yes tough conditions, but nice to get a few fish on! Glad the info was helpful!

You might try setting the hook. You will lose less. Just saying.
