Love walking small creeks for trout. Dmallest spinner in silver and gold i can find, and a pack of power worms for the ones the take bait...always fun.
I'm going to put you to the test... Im 54, grew up fishing salt water in Long Island Sound... but I have never caught a trout. I've subscribed to your channel, and Im going to start watching your videos... and then Im going to try to use what I've learned to catch one... Then.. I will report back.
I'm interested to know how you do too..good luck buddy, hope you catch a mess of them! Best of luck from South Carolina, let the rest of us know how you do!
I’m so glad to have found this channel. It’s helped my wife, 8 yr old son, and I get on way more trout this summer! We just had a killer weekend on bows, cutthroat, & brooks. I like a Joe’s fly as well in this type of water bc they maintain action at almost any speed.
Never fished for trout before, but now live in the heart of midwest Ontario where I'm surrounded by trout rivers, and really appreciate your videos. You're teaching this old dog a bunch of new tricks.
So awesome brother, just moved back to Oregon from LA, all I want is to be on the river and show all my baseball and softball teams how fun it is to be outdoors fishing. Thanks guys I’ve learned a lot from you Jordan and Nick. My name is D.J.
Super helpful! There is this small creek near my house and I’ve never known how to fish it, thanks for the great tutorials! You’re the best fishing channel on TH-cam
Thank you guys so much for this video. I live in Portland and these tutorials reignited my love for fishing. I mostly enjoy fishing in lakes because I have a hard time navigating Rivers without getting snagged, but I took notes and am excited to try them again.
Small creek and river fishing for trout is my favorite. Its the perfect activity for hot summer days. Its all about small panther martins or little cleos. Funking love it. I go to the head waters of one of the rivers in my area every Sunday and catch tons of cutties
For the PNW where the trout aren't usually so picky I like a 0 - 2 wt fly rod and a size 12 or so stimulator. I fish it upstream from me to keep the drag off of the fly.
Thanks again Jordan you really are "Trout Man"! Your tutorials are the best man. I picked up the fly rod again and carry the extra spinner pole with me as I work my way down stream
That stream is much like the ones I fish in the Sierras. That is by far my favorite type of fishing. I'll fish lakes sometimes but usually, it'll be just about like that one. I'm also a spinner guy and will usually start with a #4 PM in black/gold which it looks like what you were using. I have others of course but that's my usual go to at least for starters. This year, I am experimenting with dressed PM lures, but it's too soon to make judgements. Too much late snow and the streams are still very high and cold. Going to go downhill about 1000' in elevation this afternoon to see what happens.
One of my favorite types of fishing is just like this vid in the Doe River in eastern TN. Small spinners are deadly rigged as Jordan shows here. Alternatively, fishing a 4" watermelon/red lizard rigged Carolina style will work for both trout and small bass in the much deeper runs.
Jordan! Yes! This how I fish always. Been getting cutthroat this way... #3’s mostly. Maybe I should use smaller or bigger? I figured it was great for most types of trout/steelhead. Although, I will say, last fall I used a spinner to catch my biggest salmon. I started at the bottom of the hole like I always do.... maybe I got luck. Why do you ever start above the whole ( if they are facing you) ?
I like yo use 6 lb. Fluorocarbon with a very small slider weight attached double barrel swivel and put a 15" long 4lb. florocarbine leader on with a chartreuse 1/4 Oz Rooster tail on. Was fishing a windy country stream in VT. that started off with geo bolders and swift pools and open fast flows and wide bend curves with brush scrubs. 1/2 hr got 8 Brookies.
Just found your channel - great source to learn more about trout fishing. I am a FL offshore fisherman so this trout fishing is foreign to me lol. I notice you mention you were using 10# braid. Are you using a fluorocarbon leader, or any leader at all? And if so, how long is a typical leader? I’ve seen some guys who just load reel entirely w fluorocarbon line. Interested to hear your thoughts on line vs leader. Thx
That's my type of river or large creek! It's got to have structure. I still prefer creeks no more than 5-8' wide but bigger water can be fun if the structure is good.
Believe it or not.... try using a small 2 foot rod. Use a clear, trear-drop bubble (also called a adjusta-bubbel) Tie on a swivel, then use about 3ft of leader. Tie on a number 2 hook. Thread on half a night-crawler. (Use split-shot size according to depth of water you're fishing) Toss up stream/river and let the current drift it down into the holes your fishing.
So I’m trying to emulate the rod and reel set up in somebody’s trout videos. My goal is to get long casts from shore fishing on the lake. I got the Okuma 30 S reel, I picked up a 7 foot ultralight medium action rod from cadence, got the 10 pound braided line. Should I run a 6 pound bumper or is it OK to go with 4 pound or even 2 pound? And then if you had any thoughts on what knot you would use to join the two together? Any help from anybody is much appreciated thank you!
Yep, the Panther Martin blades always spin instantly and you can easily feel them vibrating.. Sometimes Mepps and Rooster Tails need a couple jerks back and forth to get them spinning, and then you gotta quickly reel in the extra line, and by then you've missed the sweet spot you were casting into.
Without panther martins I wouldn't even get outta the truck, they spin in both directions where none of the other do on a guaranteed retrieving downstream, and I carry two rods and first try agressively then a bobber with either a worm or something that looks like a terrestrial bug of some sort, then remember where the trout were going in one direction and as you head back to access point fish those areas, you already know their alley, make that one cast and move on
You Gay If you’re getting hung up on the rocks then use lighter/smaller lures/spinners. Try the Mepps Agila in size 1 and 0 (sometimes the gold and sometimes the silver work so have both handy. The other thing is to not let the lure sink at all but begin retrieving as soon as it hits the water. Another trick, so to speak, is get rid of the treble hook and replace it with a single (or buy them like that). You’ll snag way less but may miss/lose a fish or two.
I always laugh when I hear you say these small rivers only cos here in England they would be massive 😂😂, my local river I fish is tiny compared to these you fish
I actually like fishing all those types of waters. I don't believe in passing a opportunity to fish any kind of water. In this case, I basically do what you've shown but with one exception. I rub scent on the spinner blades. If they are watching me I like to grab there attention away by using all their senses so that they're not so focused on me.
Good info, but I think the most important thing I learned is that I must be a trophy trout, cuz I like to find a comfy chair and stay in my feeding lane, some times for days
a a naw we all have our days when nothing bites.... no shame there, the technical stuff was sound and the vid was well shot and the dude ( sorry my first video of this individual) is way cool and has great demeanour That said; blue fox and mepps spinners are my go to for stream fishing Cheers
I love fishing little rivers like with this with just a hook and worm. Even without a sinker, just drop it in and let it drift naturally with the current.
A lot of places like this don't allow live bait. I always check exceptions for each water body here in Oregon because odds are that live bait isn't allowed.
I like using a Mepps Anglia spinner, for me it is the most productive spinner on the market. Brass works best for me. I also like using a fly with a single split-shot, the smaller the better about two feet above the fly. Doesn't matter if the fly is a wet or dry. Nothing better than mountain creeks, away from crowds , the fish are aggressive and fight like crazy. Good video.
David Worthen Awesome. Another Mepps Agila fan! I use both brass and silver and tend to use #1s. Always carry 0-3 however in both colors and a few skirted. I’ve nailed decent size rainbow in fast tumbles using size 0s simply because it’s so much lighter I can cast upstream and let it stay above the rocks whereas a 2 would ride too deep and snag. I also like to use single hook models of these which are hard to find sometimes so I’ll just buy extras and switch hooks. Sure you’ll miss/lose a few fish but in the catch and release areas it’s so much easier and quicker to get them off the hook. Even trickier are the barbless hook regulation areas.
One of the most effective things I’ve learned is drifting and twitching a small unweighted plastic swimbait. The 3” rage swimmer seems to work the best for me. It’s a very versatile way to catch fish.
Just went on a trip up the Lochsa River in Idaho for a few days to do just this thing. I was able to outsmart a few fish with a 6'6" Ugly Stik and a handful of Panther Martin spinners. I love fishing small creeks like this because I feel a close connection to the fish I'm chasing. Love the trout tutorials by the way guys, keep up the good work!
How much for the shades ? And do they help with the color blindness? I'm color blind myself and it sucks but the best part about it is nobody wants me to do there electric work
Small jerk baits work good on big trout in streams and rivers.thats what they eat each other big ones anyway works good here on north fork of the American
Yuzuri pin and L minnow Best technique is using the current or stream swimming up,making the minnow struggling to go up,it triggers bass and trout to hit
Jordan you’ve helped me out a lot learning how to fly fish! Thank you for the tutorials! Just wondering if have you guys ever fished in Alberta Canada?
I can't get into the river anymore, due to balance issues, so using spincast equipment allows me to still fish and keep up with my younger brother who still fly fishes. I'm so glad I tuned into you! Thanks
Was recently at a small creek in the CO mountains, I’ve been using a brown rooster tail for a few years now. It rarely disappoints. But I’m starting to think I need to change out the hooks on the rooster tail, maybe to something smaller and not the treble hook. the fish would bite, but it’s been hard to land them on the dang hook haha. I feel like they are either biting the actual spoon or the hook is too big. Anyone else have this issue?
In streams, dead-drifting them under a float/strike-indicator works well. I use a fly rod for that, but with a heavy fly, a spinning rig should work OK.
Dang I looked up how to fish in Creeks and streams and I really enjoyed this! I learned alot from this vid. I've been using worms and eggs for the streams and it's been working.
I'm dying to get out. finally got all my work wrapped up for now and off to go adventure and fish for a couple weeks. Thanks for making these videos they are really helping me refresh on technique and gear.
Fly-Spinning >>>> it's a hybrid spinning and fly fishing rig I have never sen anyone else do this in 30 years.....Fly Spinning is where I use a 4wt 9ft fly rod with a tiny Panther Martin and a long tapered leader and only cast the leader and pull the spinner bach thru the pool and do it over and over progressively working the small pools ( ( no overhead backcast )) just roll cast flicks and sometimes a sneaky bow cast at a super clear open pool .....cheers
I've had some pretty good luck recently fishing small rivers just like you, but I'm floating a little floating 'Rebel' cricket and or bumble bee and their hitting them. And I'm brand new to trout fishing.
Love small streams, and creeks.... its relaxing, a break from the the hard core terminal gear for the big boys, get away from people.... ultra light, 6lb test... 0 mepps , gold or silver.. 1/8 ounce... YES! the Thomas lure! 0 mepps,,for the real shallow stuff, Thomas to wobble down in into the deeper stuff, and more current....🎣
What size single point hook do you use on the little spinners? Are they open eye siwash like we use on the bigger ones for Steelhead and silvers? Most of the little creeks and rivers won’t let you use trebles.
As someone who struggles with the union knot and tying lines together. What are your thoughts on using Fluorocarbon line for the entire spool? And is it fine to use a barrel swivel instead of tying the lines together? Thank you.
Living in Boise I have found that wading in the water upstream a good distance and working the water column proves best. Mixed with some overhanging branches adds to some interesting catches. I have more success with spoons thanks to the mentorship of my buddy.
I have learned a lot from this channel so thankyou. I caught my first trout on a spoon in my whole life two weeks ago thanks to this channel. My preferred method for small rivers and creeks is Tenkara. I either use a dark Kebari or a elk hair caddis. I have had people laugh at my setup then watch me catch a fish 5 min later. What I like about it is the minimalism. I got tired of hauling all the tackle to the backcountry spots i like to go to. I can fit all of my kit in my pocket and the rod telescoped down to about 12 inches. Obviously I don't use this setup on larger rivers but I have been researching getting a larger tenkara rod that is designed for large rivers, it is done in japan.
Creeks and rivers are by far my favorite and it's always more of a thrill for me to catch them on a 4 or 5wt fly rod with one of my hand furled leaders tipped with about 3-4feet of 4lb mono and a 2 fly setup with my hand tied caddis or mayfly dries and a small hand tied nymph.

I loved this video. I am just starting fishing and I prefer creeks and streams over lakes.
Panther Martin casting upstream pulling down. Or drifting little single salmon eggs through deeper holes
Just the red pautzkies always worked best for me...iv never tried yellow
Panther Martin brown trout lure- harder to find, best all around trout lure. 4# test.
My all time favorite small river/creek spinner is the 2nd smallest gold/black panther martin

Grass hoppers or hopper tied flies are the best for rivers. Thomas Cyclones are my go to if hoppers aren't working
I love the panther marton spinners for fishing trout in rivers
Hey Jordan, do you pack a .45 when you are out in the remote fishing areas? You know, for bears, cougars, tweakers etc...
Jordan! Yes! This how I fish always. Been getting cutthroat this way... #3’s mostly. Maybe I should use smaller or bigger? I figured it was great for most types of trout/steelhead.

would you put 10 lb test on a light closed face reel
the best luck ive had is with 2 split shots a size 4-6 hook and a unhatched nay fly, perywinkle or just drift a worm
Tommy Weller All well and good unless you’re on an artificial lure only creek.
I need a new set-up. What are some of the best rods without spending a ridiculous amount of money? I only trout fish, mostly in small water.
Believe it or not.... try using a small 2 foot rod. Use a clear, trear-drop bubble (also called a adjusta-bubbel) Tie on a swivel, then use about 3ft of leader. Tie on a number 2 hook.

4-6ft ultralight fast rod 2-4lb line on a 500-1000 reel
A small creek to this guy ain't the same thing in KY .
I love using spinners on trout in rivers
Dead drifting a crawler with out any weight works well also
Panther Martin's work better Casting upstream and reeling downstream, the blade runs in middle of blade and spins easily, my best go to lure
Yep, the Panther Martin blades always spin instantly and you can easily feel them vibrating.. Sometimes Mepps and Rooster Tails need a couple jerks back and forth to get them spinning, and then you gotta quickly reel in the extra line, and by then you've missed the sweet spot you were casting into.
Hey bro will music spook the fishies off at a lake or creek
STRIKE TIGER 1' nymph copper berry
i literally will not use anything else to catch trout they r WOOOOOOOW
Huge Lynyrd Skynyrd fan, super cool to see these old films of Ronnie Van Zant fishing these creeks. Keep up the good content.
Rooster tails, they love them...
Without panther martins I wouldn't even get outta the truck, they spin in both directions where none of the other do on a guaranteed retrieving downstream, and I carry two rods and first try agressively then a bobber with either a worm or something that looks like a terrestrial bug of some sort, then remember where the trout were going in one direction and as you head back to access point fish those areas, you already know their alley, make that one cast and move on
Usually in small creeks i prefer moving upstream...

I love creeks, streams ,and rivers, the sound of the water, being out in the woods.....love it
Good info, but I think the most important thing I learned is that I must be a trophy trout, cuz I like to find a comfy chair and stay in my feeding lane, some times for days
Great vid but you should show yourself catching some fish as a sort of proof of concept!
With that gynormous gear he's using I wonder if he ever has hooked one...lol
a a naw we all have our days when nothing bites.... no shame there, the technical stuff was sound and the vid was well shot and the dude ( sorry my first video of this individual) is way cool and has great demeanour
That said; blue fox and mepps spinners are my go to for stream fishing
Cheers
Mike Lee I’m sure he’s hooked more than you have guy
ive been thinking the same thing in all these past tutorial videos
You sure got that right buddy.....to much talk and no enough action!! LOL Should have scouted that creek to make sure there were fish in it!! LOL
Been putting your teqniques to the test, caught 10 trout last weekend, one of the best trips I've ever had!

Creeks and rivers hands down. Favorite spinner is a panther martin.
Each present their own challenges and really it’s the challenge that I enjoy most, but if I had to make a choice it would be creeks and rivers.
fish jump 12'03 at end of white water. after tackle a good pair of polarized glasses is a must for spotting trout and your eyes.
It was nice meeting Jordan, marlin and Cameron at the sportco in fife. And the Movie was sick can’t wait to watch it again.
I love the trout fishing episodes I'm always trout fishing on my channel.. just got into the fly rod man what a blast 😱
SummitLifeTV u just got ur self a new sub
@@teba5113 thanks man I really appreciate that
How much for the shades ? And do they help with the color blindness? I'm color blind myself and it sucks but the best part about it is nobody wants me to do there electric work
Real good tutorial Jordan,I like using 1/8 oz jigs tied to mimic different bugs in smaller creeks.But mostly use my 2 wt flyrod and beadheaded nymphs.
Small jerk baits work good on big trout in streams and rivers.thats what they eat each other big ones anyway works good here on north fork of the American
Amen!
Worm under a bobber, or panther Martin is my favorite way Or Sandshrimp.
You guys should be over 100K subs by now! Keep the videos coming! Always learning something new from you guys, I love creek fishing.
Tiny soft bead and a chunk of crawler is my go to in creeks.👍
Yuzuri pin and L minnow
Best technique is using the current or stream swimming up,making the minnow struggling to go up,it triggers bass and trout to hit
pogi talaga reviews Yes!!!
How about a video on drifting nightcrawlers with split shots in fast moving current for trout I guess it would be called bottom bouncing.
That's the ticket!!!
Love fishing small rivers and creeks with a nymph and indicator
Jordan you’ve helped me out a lot learning how to fly fish!
Thank you for the tutorials!

What size single point hook do you use on the little spinners? Are they open eye siwash like we use on the bigger ones for Steelhead and silvers? Most of the little creeks and rivers won’t let you use trebles.
Tom King Small open eye siwash. Size depends on the spinner your using.
I use different patterned tassie/Tasmanian devils and they work a treat
As someone who struggles with the union knot and tying lines together. What are your thoughts on using Fluorocarbon line for the entire spool? And is it fine to use a barrel swivel instead of tying the lines together? Thank you.
My preference for streams like that is a 6'6" - 7' 3w fly rod w/a royal coachman (me being in the northeast). Or something that's hatching.
All the video's good!!And fun to watch!!Ive watched them all I can't wait to fish fresh water!!
streams and rivers for trout is my fav
Living in Boise I have found that wading in the water upstream a good distance and working the water column proves best. Mixed with some overhanging branches adds to some interesting catches. I have more success with spoons thanks to the mentorship of my buddy.
I've added additional swivels on mine I get too Much line twist whenever I cast into a river
I have learned a lot from this channel so thankyou. I caught my first trout on a spoon in my whole life two weeks ago thanks to this channel. My preferred method for small rivers and creeks is Tenkara. I either use a dark Kebari or a elk hair caddis. I have had people laugh at my setup then watch me catch a fish 5 min later. What I like about it is the minimalism. I got tired of hauling all the tackle to the backcountry spots i like to go to. I can fit all of my kit in my pocket and the rod telescoped down to about 12 inches. Obviously I don't use this setup on larger rivers but I have been researching getting a larger tenkara rod that is designed for large rivers, it is done in japan.
Creeks and rivers are by far my favorite and it's always more of a thrill for me to catch them on a 4 or 5wt fly rod with one of my hand furled leaders tipped with about 3-4feet of 4lb mono and a 2 fly setup with my hand tied caddis or mayfly dries and a small hand tied nymph.
