Stocked rainbow trout absolutely love dough bait. The folks at Berkley and Pautzke have a great lineup of prepared dough bait in various colors and scents. You can make your own right in your kitchen if you are so inclined to do so. Or you can pickup a fresh loaf of bread and roll your own dough balls. The key is the setup: ultralight spinning rod, 2-6 pound line, a small hook (#12-#14), a slip bobber, and a few split shots. Thanks for sharing.
If you have not tried it yet, you would love catching these guys on a fly rod. You’re basically indicator nymphing with these trout magnets. Beautiful wild fish here not sure why people ate talking about stockers.
Unfortunately these are stocked trout, this creek gets too warm to support any year round trout populations other than in its headwaters. I fly fish all the time for native brook trout, I’ll definitely start using the fly rod more for stockies more often
@@mpfishing5530ok I saw what I thought was an intact adipose fin and assumed they were wild. Upon closer examination their mouths look like stockers. That being said, not bad looking for stockers. Keep up the good work.
@@EatShredSleep87 where I’m at they don’t clip the apidose fins, for whatever reason some of the stockers near me are pretty good looking and then others are awful looking. It’s probably because it’s stocked by both the state and a local sportsman’s club, I’m not sure which one has the good looking trout and which stocks the normal ugly ones. Thx for watching man 👍
@@mpfishing5530 They have quite healthy tails compared to most stockers I've seen super chewed up. Yet, what makes this technique secret? I'm seeing basic indicator fishing and using a weighted hook. If you know your depth it's all good.
@@MikeListon-tk8ir not necessarily secret but definitely extremely rare to see other people using anything similar, at least around the places I’m fishing. The guy I learned it from (at least the using bread on the rig part) was the first I’d ever seen do it and since then I have only seen one other guy using it
Enjoyed the video. It maybe too everyone else has thrown the same things at the fish. You came with something different. I had times where corn did really well for trout. Other times not so good! You have to have other baits too. Good job!
@@certinstructorron4050 it’s not so much the bait as it is the presentation (drifted under a float) but yeah, if everyone was using this rig then the trout would wise up to it and something else would be the new hot technique. Thx for watching
It usually falls off after a couple of casts. If you use fresh white bread and squeeze it around the hook really firmly, it should stick pretty well though. I always bring at least 5-6 pieces because you do go through a lot
Nothing new to me, I've been using the same set up but I use the mini trout magnet jig head and a different bait. Most days I outfish anyone around me. I'm always getting asked what I am using. Anyways, nice job catching those trout. It's alot of fun. Tight lines.
I used to tell people i was using bread when they asked me what i was using for bait. Lol i never ever used bread in my life, but i ain't dead yet😉 Your killing me smalls😀😉
Trout magnet bobbers, 1/64 oz trout magnet jigheads, you can run it on any light to medium spinning setup with 4-8lb line. A I was using my bass combo in this video because I broke my trout rod a while ago but it’s much more fun on light tackle
I’ve never tried it, but probably not as well since there isn’t any current. The whole reason it works so well in streams is that you can get super long drifts without getting snagged using the bobber. I’m sure bread would still work but you’d probably be better off fishing on the bottom. I don’t fish lakes for stocked trout though so I’m not the best person you could ask
Always fun when you are drifting a bread bait for trout on 3 lb line and a big carp or murray cod takes the bread. Then it's on for young and all. "Nobody knows about it", well, not nobody. I have used this for years, without a jig head. It is unrequired. A small circle hook, compress the bread and away you go. Try a Wooly Bugger or Mrs Simpson in place of the bread.
@@mpfishing5530 I use unweighted bread in the rivers. Just make sure it is compressed well and all air squeezed out. At most, I might add a small running bead sinker above a small ring and a short leader. I do like to run a small jig head with certain soft plastics I use in the same way, though. Most of the trout streams around here are artificial only, so lures and flies. Been getting some great late season, Autumn rainbows lately. However, only a couple of weeks left before end of season, so back to carp with bread baits :) TBH, the Swamp Trout (carp) are my preferred targets.
@@AndrewFishman are those artificial only streams mostly wild trout water? I wouldn’t use bread in there obviously, this video was filmed at a stocked creek that doesn’t support any natural reproduction. Without a jighead could work I guess but that one hole I fished in this video was like 6 feet deep and super swift water, I just like to know that it gets down near the bottom where they are holding. I’ve only ever caught one carp and it was on accident while bass fishing, I’ve never tried to target them with bread. Is it hard to get started? because that’s something that seems like a lot of fun.
@@mpfishing5530 I am in Australia, these streams are kinda mixed. They have wild, self sustaining populations that are resident in the creeks and streams, but the dams on the rivers are often replenished with fingerling stockings. These eventually make their way into the streams when the spawning runs occur up the inflows. They then mingle and breed with the wilds. The creek I fish and is in my latest vids had some of Australia's oldest browns, introduced back in the 1800s , and some fairly new, first run, stocked rainbows mixed in together with wild 'bows. Carp on bread is the most fun you can have on the fresh water. They fight hard and do not know when to give up. It is very easy to get started, all you need is a loaf of white bread, a hook and your pole and you're good to go. I usually use 4 - 6 kilo (8 - 12 lb) line, depending on the environment. Weedy backwaters with big fish get the bigger gear. A small hook (number 4 or 2 are my favourites) and, if required, a jig head or running sinker to get down into the flow. As you note, in deeper water, this is more necessary. Corn is another awesome bait for them, and works well for burley (ground bait) also. Most of my channel is lake fishing for carp. Sight fishing them on soft plastics or flies is also a blast.
It does still fall off very often, but if you use white bread that isn’t stale and you pack it on the hook very tightly it can stick for a few casts. Also don’t make quick snappy casting motions, use more of a gentle lob cast and the bread won’t fly off as much
Not for the stockies. Trust me I love fly fishing as much as the next guy and I even have videos of me fly fishing famous creeks such as the LeTort and Falling Spring, but when it comes to stocked fish nothing will catch them as good as bait fishing
All organic baits have been illegal here for decades for just that reason. On another note, try a piece of sausage too. Gets bites even more since the fish smell it from further away.
No, I’m in PA and this creek has no access to the ocean or Great Lakes. All of the fish were stocked rainbow trout. I can see what you mean it kinda looks like one but it’s definitely a trout
You can use many baits for catching trout,all type of worms etc...But its not a point to catch as much as you can,the point is to enjoy with much more sofisticated tehniques (UL spining,nymphing,fly fishing etc..)Your gear is for "killing" those trouts,your rod is to heavy action,your line is tick as hell....Try to use something apropiate to the size of those fish,for example 0-7g rod,0,10mm fluocarbon or something simular,and try to enjoy ...
This is a false claim. In fact the longer the fight is drawn out, the more stress that the fish endures and the more chance it has of dying. (Also, the point of this video wasn’t just a secret bait, it’s also the rig I fish it on that makes it more effective). And some people have different opinions on what’s most enjoyable. I enjoy catching a lot of fish. Keep in mind these are stocked trout, and in my other videos where I fish for native and wild trout I am always fly fishing and treating the fish with upmost respect (although in this video I don’t really see how I did anything wrong besides accidentally snagging a fish and forgetting a net). I kind of find it hard to enjoy fishing for pellet fed rubber hatchery fish anyway, literally the only thing I find rewarding about it is by catching a bunch of them. With wild trout ill slow down and enjoy the process a little more
For me, sometimes, it's about putting food on the table...this type of fishing is harvesting and I'm grateful to know a new way of feeding my family....🙏
@@dkcorderoyximenez3382 exactly, and especially with stocked trout like these keeping a few fish here and there is more than ok. the type of gear used has little impact on survival rate, it’s all about keeping your hands wet and releasing them quickly. And if you are keeping them anyway then go ahead and let them swallow your nightcrawler as deep as they can and set the hook as hard as you want lol, people need to stop whining about everything let others enjoy fishing how they want to fish
@@dkcorderoyximenez3382 When they stock I take the grand kids fishing. They love it. Just was not using bread. That will change at the next stocking. Oh by the way why could not one use day old bagels? Bet that would work.
Don’t feel like cleaning and cooking them. I have in the past but it’s not worth the trouble for the smaller fish without too much meat on them, it would only be worth the effort on a bigger fish
I’m out in Oregon this week fishing the Metolius, Crooked, and Dechutes for wild trout. It’s not like stocked trout fishing is all I do, it’s just a fun way to spend a day when you don’t have time to drive somewhere
16:07 you can clearly see me reach into a bag of bread, put it on my hook, cast it out, and get a bite. You can also very clearly see me put bait on my hook numerous times throughout the video and on the casts where I don’t get bit if you look closely there is always a small white blob at the end of my line (assuming the bread didn’t fall off)
Believe me I’d go fly fishing for wild trout over this any day, I just don’t have that many good streams that are within a reasonable driving distance. Nothing wrong with chucking bait for the stockers every now and then
Ignore all the negative BS. You do you and have fun!
Just disregard the "expert" trolls.
Good video!
Best technique for trout season: Fish where the bucket dumps them.

Guessing he’s in Pa as he called the Goldie a palomino haha
Yeah 😂 I know now that they are technically called Golden Rainbow trout but everyone around me always called them Paliminos
Thanks for sharing 😊
Have you tried barbless hooks to be able to unhook the fish easier?
mmmm, haven't heard of the bread before. gonna try! ty for sharing. how does it stay on though? i figure once it gets wet, it'll fall off?

What's the secret for the bread 🍞 not to fall off within 3-seconds? Thnx ahead~

I’ve kept plenty of trout in the past. I just hate the process of cleaning them so for me it’s not worth it
@@mpfishing5530 I understand, those trout magnets are excellent, Great video.
If trout are in a feeding frenzy they eat almost anything then as time goes on what works one day might not work another day 🤔
Try a fly rod with some good flies . Works better then anything else for catching trout . All trout .

Should this work good in a lake as well do you think? Looking to maybe try something like that
Never tried it in a lake but probably not. Without any current it’s not really gonna do anything
@@mpfishing5530 Alrighty
I can see the articles now "this man's secret catches 20 fish in one day, fishing experts hate him"
Secret technique ? Please , I was catching trout and carp with doughballs and bread since I was 13 years old .
All organic baits have been illegal here for decades for just that reason. On another note, try a piece of sausage too. Gets bites even more since the fish smell it from further away.
A bobber and breadballs you call a secret ! You never watched Little House on the Prairie ?

Because that is frowned on by the Fish Commission. So wait till they are stocked.
And thats why bread is banned at almost all stock rainbow places
That's not a secret it's a old school technique a lot of people don't know about it anymore it's a forgotten bait
Use a net and have more respect for the fish if you still want some to catch
