We have some older videos that feature bass fishing but nothing recently, however there is a bass fishing feature coming out in the near future so please stay tuned. :)
It depends on how much you want to do and how much you want to spend of course, and find a balance between those. For trout fishing, a 4 or 5wt is your standard setup. 9'/2.70m is the typical length, but shorter if you are fishing in smaller creeks. My advice would be to invest in a good rod. The reel is just there to hold your line and you can always upgrade to a nicer reel later. For line, Scientific Angler GPX is a good one to start with as a floating line.
Strangely, I almost never get mad at losing a fish (and that's not because I catch too many, far from it!). To me, hooking them is just as satisfying as landing them. I do get frustrating by other little yet important things, such as not being able to position the boat properly due to wind, bad casting, tangles, etc.
Thanks. The prices are listed on Ruddocks Ranch actually. There are also customized group rates for those who want to book the entire lake to themselves, which is pretty much what we did so you have to email Kevin directly for that.
Yeah this is our best trip so far. The weather was cool but not terrible. We had a tarp and campfire set up by the lake so every now and then we could come in, warm up and relax before going out to catch more fish again... ;)
We have been in touch with Douglas Lake Ranch and just need to sort out a few things to get a video done there. It probably will not be this year because my schedule is pretty much all booked up, so look for it next year. :)
Well normally we stick to 6lb test Fluorocarbon, but in this case we bumped it up to 8lb test mono because the fish were not shy and heavier, more abrasion-resistant line is needed in the snaggy area.
We were not using lures but flies. To see exactly what were used, check out the gear talk feature for this video, should be the video after this one in our channel.
Yes I do. In fact we did quite a bit of trolling during this trip when we didn't want to anchor and fish. We have been thinking about doing a trolling video lately. :)
This is a catch and release fishery. We release fish at waters where they are required to be released, and keep fish occasionally when we are allowed to do so.
You should have left retrive on your reel. Looks like a hard time switching hands all the time.
Thats what i do with all my reels
You're right. I hate watching people miss hook sets in that split second when they have to switch hands
This is just north of Lytton in British Columbia. Check out ruddocks dot ca for more information or Google "Ruddocks Ranch".
Big rainbows, bull trout, coho salmon, pink salmon are all ideal target species on a 6wt.
Possibly, except this lake is designated for fly fishing only. ;)
That trout has probably run into that snag for cover before. Prolly' a clever dominate male, LOL! once they surface never let them dive better to snap the line than snag out bass style.
What dry fly were you using?
Since it was so shallow, you decided to use the dry fly/floating line, correct?
...and yes, great video!
It's fishing, not catching, and those big ones that get away make you come back for more!
Haven't tried it yet but hopefully will soon.
Hay rod come fish with me in Northern Calif the Smith river for steelhead go check my page out gotchahookedfishtrip.
Wow that fish woulda been big u are super calm haha i would have been yelling every curse i know haha love your videos
Although I agree with you, at the same time, you are paying for an experience. The limit of 8 people on the water at a time, the fly only, mandatory C&R, and the fact that when you see someone else, you KNOW they are there for the same love of the hobby you are. As silly as it seems with umpteen thousand lakes in BC, all free for the public, I have no qualms with a few being pay to play. Oh, and protected, safe, abundant wild fish!
I loved this videos and it was really good, but what would be a good setup for stocked rainbows? and i can't use a fly rod because the lake is tiny and is only about 10-15 ft across. i have tried many things like roe and just plain old worms. you got any tips?
Ross can be great fun, right at the mouth, and slightly into the skagit river (no retention there though). Fish are smaller, but plentiful, although there are some huge bull trout there. Mosquitoes can be BRUTAL around shore, make sure to bring lots of repellant!
Can you advise me about fly fishing rod, reel and other equipment? I want to try that kind of fishing but I really don`t know how to choose fishing tackle.
You know that when you come to a shop, a saler can fool you just like that and after all I`ll buy something useless or bad equipment.
Hey we go up to a deep lake on the sunshine coast every summer that has a healthy cutthroat trout population but all the trout stay deep during the summer so I was wondering if you had any tips, thanks. BTW the lake is called Sakinaw lake
You guys have got to visit some of the lakes on Douglas Lake Ranch. We were just at one of the lakes there and the fishing was amazing. Maybe you could do a vid on that? Great info on fly fishing in this vid as well.
What brand of rod do you recommend? Which ones are good, I mean practical.
I heard that you must choose the right site of a line depending on fishing rod type. Do you have any formula of that or other presentation?
hi, i can fish really well generally, but fly fishing, i cannot do it!!! And it's a successful way of fishing, maybe you could do an instructional video?
hi i was using these salmon eggs in a jar and i tied them up for spawn sack i caught 1 brown but the last couple weeks they haven't been strikeing why
Oh. We have brand here in Europe like Shimano, Daiwa, Greys. It seems that the best way is to go to shops and try.
Thanks man! Good catch!
Could you do a video on beginner fly fishing? Like how to tie a leader, cast, etc.
The low teens, wow.
Very cool video. You are a good host.
Can i ask you if the mosquitoes are bad in BC in the summer?
i just caught three fish today but i dont remember wat they were D:
do pautzke eggs work well with stocked trout in lakes? or are they better suited for rivers and natural trout?
Rod, I like your style. Ruddocks is heaven on earth, only 3 hours from downtown. I want to live there.
Sometimes if you give the fish total slack they swim out from the snag and you can resume the fight.
Great footage, tips, scenery and fish!
One of the better fishing channels on youtube for sure :)
You can say that again.
No, just rainbow trout.
Like if u want him to do a fishing marathon like day 1 Monster torut
day2 bla bla bla
We were fly fishing.
wow. too bad you lost that one. i wouldve said turn the camera off and cried....
after 11 minutes of fuckery you decide ta catch an fish and lose it :) THUMB UP
Sage is of course a very good brand to go with due to the quality of their rods and the warranty. St Croix, G.Loomis are also good choices. You should match your line to the rod, so 5wt line for 5wt rod, and a reel that can hold enough 5wt line and backing. The best thing to do is to go into a fly fishing store, try out a few different 5wt setups and see which one is comfortable in your hand.
DanderJohn has covered most of what I think about the cost of a trip such as this. It really depends on what you are looking for. If you only get to go lake fishing once a year and want everything to go as planned, then it is worth investing the money to do this. If you are an angler who frequently takes advantage of all the free-accessed lakes in BC, then this is probably not for you. Having the privacy at a lake like this probably the biggest appeal for us.
This ain't no carp boy! You gotta keep your rod tip up.
why do you catch and realese this fish ? it was a rainbow
You should make a vid telling about all of your Personal bests for different species of fish you’ve caught and then talk about were or when and what happened.
Actually that has been talked about in some of our Q&A videos. Check them out! :)
Those cutthroat trout in Sakinaw Lake are offsprings of stocks that were released up to the late 1980s and are definitely fantastic gamefish. For coastal lake cutthroat trout, we usually fish with large patterns as they tend to feed on stickback, sculpin, leech, etc. Pretty tough to get them in the summer as they stay in deep like you said. The best way is probably to troll for them in really deep water as we do sometimes in Whistler at a lake where large cutties are found.
Mosquitoes can be pretty bad in BC in the summer... It really is hard to predict how bad it can be, but we've been pretty lucky overall, mosquitoes seem to be absent at most lakes we go to. There are a couple of lakes where they are really bad but we keep going back each year because the fishing is just too good to be missed... :)
Thanks for watching!
i love fishing rainbows just like you rod. Do you ever troll for them?
Jungle Monster Trout? That's an interesting jungle...
Absolutely. I personally am not an expert on the technical aspect of fly fishing so cannot help too much on that, but we have been planning to have a few experienced anglers to do the videos that you are requesting. Hopefully it will not be too long before we have them available for everyone. :)
If I were fishing a lake like this with bait, what would you suggest?
I think it would depend on a few factors, such as time of the year/temperature of water near surface, what they are feeding on, etc. Leeches do travel near the surface at times, so I don't see why not if there are nothing else to eat. If fish are keying on insects, then you are more likely to catch fish on those patterns than a leech pattern.
im down in Australia what fly would you suggest for rainbow trout
that was an epic battle. Thanks for sharing.
Very good quality for 10 years ago
If I were half as cool as you are, I would be pretty darn cool.
it's called fishing for fun. Catch and Release for the future.
We definitely use spinners for trout. We've never tried them with crankbait but have thought about it, must be pretty fun. We'll give it a go one day.
Yep.
Thanks! That's really great to hear. That's pretty much the direction we've wanted our videos to go from the beginning, to entertain but also to educate. Too many fishing shows have a tendency to focus more on showcasing their catches for a long time instead of worrying about their welfare. We only show our catches briefly. The good thing with TH-cam is, you can keep replaying and pausing if you want to see the fish again. ;)
great video, Rodney...how much do you pay for fishing there?
Hello from Australia,
Lovely looking lake. I enjoyed your video very much. Must visit BC someday.
Wont be fishing today. Raining heavily, probably snowing at the small lake I intended to fish. Not a morning person either!
Cheers,
Steve.
Check out some of our latest videos, which are specifically on how to catch stocked trout with bait.
Because it's fishing. Some days are excellent, some days are poor, that's what keeps us going back.
That's the one I want right there!
are there bass or other fish about that size in that lake?
just curious, what species can i target with a 6 wt????
Not bad? Thats far bigger than any trout ive ever caught
Hey rod? How big of a leader are you using in lakes?
thats right but i think its the smell is not strong
Thanks! Come on over, the fisheries in BC is fairly similar to what the waters around Norway offer.
Painful to watch!
ryan logas why?
Won’t be going to SNAG LAKE, thx anyways.
Huh?
You are a very interesting talker
nice man ive used all your tips i caught 4 fish
Thanks. Not yet, we've been wanting to try it for many years now. Maybe this year. :)
Thats why its called fishing. Not just catching
im going to carp lake on friday for the weekend
Yap lots then fail to perform, that's how a true fisherman does it. ;) Thanks for watching.
Thanks. The fly rods used in this video are 9' Rainshadow 4 and 5 wts.
You gotta msg me... regulations are ridiculous.
Im in region 1. Now they ssying there is a ban on hatchery salmon?
I need more info
You're being too generic. What systems are you referring to.
@@FishingwithRod thats my point. I just moved here from praries.
Yes we have different regions. But all that means is fishing seasons start at different times.
But in general. Max caught fish limits are same no matter what lake or river are fished.
I just arrivex Vancouver island 4 days ago. And bought fresh water lisence.
Now im told most fresh water species are catch and release only.
And all streams,rivers and laked are single hook no barb?
And all fly fishing only is max one fly. And no beads can be used?
So basically im wanting to know. Gor a guy who likes to keep fish and feed my family. Is it worth having fresh water lisence?
Now most of this has been passed threw multiple people.
But i was told buy saltwater license cause i can keep everything? But then i hear there is a ban on hatchery salmon aswell.
Im just do confused about what can or cant be done.
And how it changes lake to lake.
Id love to tslk about this and learn the island.
I was so happy move here gor fishing
.... now it seems more of a hassle then pleasure at this point
Your a cool gut your names rod(amazing fisherman name hahha) and your one of. The best fisherman I've ever witnessed
Nice video.... again :)
Hi Rod!
I'm loving the video. I'm an avid stillwater guy, spending between 50-60 days a year chasing big trout in lakes, primarily Henrys Lake in Idaho. I have a couple of tips that might boost your catch rate.
#1 Use a 6weight on this lake.. helps keeps em outa the snags! 2x Flourocarbon leader helps too ( if allowed)
#2 Keep your rod tip in the water while stripping. It increases your sensitivity to strikes.
Great video! Thanks for making this and posting.
Unreal fish!!! Thanks for the videos. Will all the tips you give apply to us on the East Coast as well?
i live in florida i fish for redfish and trout anywhere from 6-10 pounds but i really want to cross of rainbow trout
Great vid! I give you credit for not getting mad after losing that nice fish! If i had lost a fish like that there would not be a working fishing rod in my boat lol.
Thanks for the tips! 6wt is definitely a more ideal choice in that situation. I only had my 4 and 5wts as we normally just indicator fish in structureless waters. That fish was almost controlled, but then it took advantage when my guard was down. Oh well, lesson learned. :)
Fishing with Rod u just need to pump some iron and build those puny muscles! (in Schwarzenegger voice)
Thanks! Lots of Aussies come here to travel, work and play. ;)
Don't go to ross its terrible lol :p
How do you like your fish finder? are you still using it?
The one I used in this video was a pretty entry level one, it did the job. I still have it but don't really use it, I now use a Helix 5, which is an amazing machine...
nice sea man
I'm so sorry. Good video though.
was it Celsius or Fahrenheit?
I started learning about hardware tossing on your site Rod. Then as I progressed to flying, your site is and always was a part of my learning. I have to say, after everything I have learned, the number one priority to me, is the Fish. As long as they are safe and relatively unharmed, Im happy. One of the reasons I love your site and videos, is because YOU care as well. Ive seen too many fish that need minutes of reviving to take off. But when you let yours go, he took off as all C&R fish should.
I had to subscribe to your channel all of the tips that you give about trout fishing have helped me a lot. I just recently started to get into trout fishing and the tips that you give in your videos have improved my fishing. Thanks for the videos.
what bait were you using
Where is the lake around
