Good info. On a similar note when I'm fishing for Brim I do a 3 hook set up on the line and let them drop naturally with a bug or cricket next to a downed tree branch were they like to hide themselves. I tear them up.
Wow I always wondered why I saw cans of corn near the edge of the water. Now I know but I'm not going to to litter. Thanks for this video I'm going to get a. Couple of extra cans of corn next time we go shopping.
+adam michalski Yes. During the first days of the stockings, I always fish it all the way down with Power Bait or Power Eggs. However, when the fishing pressure is too high, I change my tactics to something a little bit more different. Tight lines, Adam!
Fish at crum creek media pa tell me when you do and I will come and show you the good spots on the creek I was there two days ago and am going again today I caught a 5 pounder and a 3.5 pounder
+shades 9924 I have heard good things about Crum Creek in Media; however, that place is still a little bit out of range for me at the moment. Good catches, shades! Tight lines!
Wow before this trout, keep turning away from my lure because it does not look right. Now I'll put this to use; thought since I will be chumming with corn pieces should I use a smaller light wire hook or a bigger hook since I want to match the hatch with the small pieces of kernel corn?
+Ethan Yang I would recommend smaller hooks for Trout, in the range of #8 or above. I particularly prefer a size #10 hook for kernel corn. Hope you catch some fish on it, Ethan! Tight lines and fish on!
hey Leo great trout fishing vid. can you plz tell me what road this is located on, I would like to take my kids out this weekend before it gets to cold. thank you and tight lines bro.
Wow nice catch! I usually do a bobber and corn setup for trout at pennypack. (I live in NE Phily). I did not catch your setup was it just a hook and corn?
+Dillan Robeson Not exactly. Although, all the statistics are in the PA Fish Boat and Commission's website (fbweb.pa.gov/stocking/TroutStockingDetails_GIS.aspx). Tight lines, Dillan!
You every use trout magnets. I used them today for bass and creek chubs. Would it work for trout if you imitate s bug buy leaving the trout magnet on the top
+Sean Magee Trout Magnets by Leland Lures are also recommended. I always carry some of them on me, not to mention the 1/64 oz. Trout Magnet Jig Head. Tight lines, Sean!
hey Leo I had try to no to open trout stocking day.. I put the Google directions in my GPS but it took me somewhere by policemen academy... hahaha was kinda crazy but for future references how do you get there..?
+Tyrone Riley If you want to get to the specific spot on this video, I recommend you to put "greater northeast chamber of commerce" on your GPS system. That will take you to the Pennypack Creek at Roosevelt Boulevard. The dam is pretty much between Route 1 and Bustleton Avenue. Easy to find. Good parking place as well. Tight lines, Tyrone!
+Adrian ranirez I would assume that the weather down there is still hot? Heh. Here in the northeastern side of the USA, the weather has become quite chilly! Brrrr! Tight lines, Adrian!
+Tony Tan As a matter of fact, I do. I have taught children and adults alike when it comes to fishing. My tutoring is done 1-on-1 and I have 4 different programs: (1) Fishing with Humanities; (2) Fishing with Sciences; (3) Fishing with Environmental Conservation; and (4) Hands-on fishing ONLY. For kids, I have all clearances: FBI background check, child abuse check, and PA police check. I charge $25 an hour and the program is usually a 2 hour per week program that lasts a month (1 hour theory and 1 hour hands on). Thus, 8 hours total. Also, I do offer 1 time 1-on-1 lessons through Patreon. You can check the website here: www.patreon.com/extremephillyfishing?ty=h I made it just recently, so it's pretty new. Anyone who contributes $25 a month to my Patreon page will be supporting the Extreme Philly Fishing social media AND getting a free scheduled 1-on-1 fishing lesson per month (either face-to-face or through webcam). Tight lines, Tony!
+John Rose Thanks for watching, John! The MTBSlam for Panfish is already filmed. I didn't do GREAT, but I did land at least 4 Species of fish for the day (including some Walleye). It will be uploaded on the Channel in the next couple days. Tight lines!
+Jeffrey Hamilton I keep them in Ziplock bags. Not the best method of keeping Trout; however, I keep them in there only for short amounts of time. Once I catch my limit, I am home cleaning them and freezing them already. Tight lines, Jeffrey!
Nice trouts (as always) and thanks for the demonstrations it really helped me, but i have one question with scenario 1 with the flies, do you recommend using a top-water lure (i have a small rubber cricket that floats) or something els? Catch a big one
+Ciaran McCloskey I would say that you have a chance of landing a Trout or two if you see them lunging at the top of the water for food. That's when you have the hatch going on. Your lure would have to be small and accurate, though! If you are truly interested in literally "matching the hatch," I would recommend you to read the Compleat Angler by Izaak Walton. Tight lines, Ciaran!
Hi Leo, please help me, I fish trout with spinners but im having a hard time catching them. How can cast my spinner further? without any weight I cover only 30ft from shore. and a little bean shape weight ...115ft huge difference but its not very stealthy and trout barely bite it. I use 5lbs braid with 5lbs mono or flouro leader.
+TheFort Outdoors The stocked Trout at the Pennypack Creek do die in the Summer time if temperatures get too high. I believe that this year there was a fish kill on the Trust section of the Pennypack Creek, which was a bummer. :/ Tight lines, TheFort!
Hi Leo, i just wanted to know, what is the length of your Daiwa Spinmatic rod? And what is your opinion on the Daiwa Presso 5 foot 6 rod? I want to buy an ultralight rod. Thanks alot for the awesome video!
+HuntingSouthAfrica I have never used the Daiwa Presso before; however, I would say that it shouldn't be too different than the Spinmatic. I just checked its prices and they are in the same range as the Spinmatic. And by the way...the Spinmatic can be all the way from 4'0 to 8'0. I like it 5'6". Thanks for watching! Tight lines!
Sick Skateboarding -- Unfortunately I am unable to answer to you directly due to your Google+ configurations. For faster responses, please make sure to change it. As for your comment -- the fish would die because it swallowed the hook. After swallowing the hook, the mortality ratio of the fish varies from Species to Species. For a fact, the Oncorhynchus genus and mykiss Species is extremely sensitive to any type of internal injuries. Thus, it's chances of surviving after swallowing a hook would be very low. That's why I recommended my friend Matt to keep it. For a full detailed chart of different mortality ratios, I would recommend you to read the Hooking Mortality research conducted by Muoneke and Childress, back in 1994 (wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/downloads/Settlement%20Workshop%20Materials/Literature/Muoneke%20and%20Childress.pdf) Tight lines!
+Jake Myalls I think you meant to say "don't fish with corn. It will kill the fish?" If so, you are wrong. Saying that corn will kill a Trout is a myth. There have been multiple researches relating Trout and kernel corn conducted in the past. These researches indicated that the Trout weren't able to digest the kernel corn very well and that no mortality was observed in the short-term. It's like human beings and kiwi and dragon fruit seeds. We -- human beings -- aren't able to fully digest the seeds of a kiwi or dragon fruit. Thus, they are released in our waste completely intact. The same happens for the Trout -- they are able to digest the insides of the kernel corn to a certain extent; however, they are not able to digest the exterior skin of the corn. For more information: fishandboat.com/images/pages/qa/fish_regs/corn_chum.htm (as I have indicated in your other rude comment, it's totally legal to use corn in PA). Tight lines!
+Miguel Neves That is not true, Miguel. Here is a nice explanation of the whole thing, if you feel like reading and learning? 1. Can fish digest corn? ANSWER: It depends. On what, you ask? It depends on which Species we are talking about! Corn itself is a very hard type of food for fish to digest, especially when consumed WHOLE. The keyword here is "whole." For example: although we don't see it, Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio) have "pharyngeal teeth" in the back of their mouths to facilitate their digestive process. The pharyngeal teeth are there to further CRUSH everything that passes a Carp's mouth. From your perspective, all you see is a Carp sucking the corn in. However, little you knew that those pieces of corn are being crushed into smaller pieces before hitting their stomachs. :) On the other hand, we have Species that eat the corn as a whole! Examples would be Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), Brown Trout (Salmo trutta), Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), Creek Chub (Semotilus atromaculatus). These Species do NOT have pharyngeal teeth; therefore, the corn goes directly from their mouth to their stomachs! WHOLE THING. And that's when they have trouble digesting the skin of the corn. Although some states do NOT recommend using corn to fish for certain Species of fish, I would like to point out that no fish has ever died from consuming corn! The consequences of not being able to digest corn is simply that fishes can't absorb the nutrients of corn to a maximum extent. This happens to human beings too, by the way! There are certain things that we just aren't able to digest. One common known example is kiwi seeds! Next time you eat LOTS of KIWI with seeds in it, make sure to look at your stool next time you go to the bathroom. You will come to realize that those seeds will come out in the same shape and color as they went in. In the end, we ARE what we eat. :) And we certainly don't die from eating kiwi seeds, do we? We don't get ill either! They just come out and everything is fine. The downside, just like with the fish example, is that we aren't able to absorb the nutrients of the kiwi seeds. :) Tight lines, Miguel!
I've caught 18 inch trout with rocks in their stomachs, and regularly catch them with plastic lures inside, too. I doubt even if they can't digest the corn it will kill them. They're not native to EPF's area anyways, they're meant to be taken and eaten. I'd be more reluctant to use them on the native trouts here.
I know that holdovers respond natural to real bait; worms and little insects. You are doing great with your techniques
+Ethan Yang Thank you very much! Also, thanks for watching and following the Channel. Tight lines and fish on!
I'm trying this tommarow.
I'm addicted to the videos. Have been watching them every day and night on trout. So awesome

Nice brown trout!
I like your style of teaching!

I plan on using this technique in a couple days. Awesome vid.
thanks this method is legit! Thank u for helping me catch stocked trout when they are hard to locate or don't want to bite.
I'm going trout fishing tomorrow looks like I'm bringing some corn.
+Evan Warwick Yeah I might have to bring some along too. I hear it works for panfish as well.
+Evan Warwick Highly recommended! :) Bring it just in case -- you never know. Tight lines, Evan! Hope you catch some Trout.

How long is your rod? Longer rods seem to cast further. I use 7 ft and it seems to cast real well
its 6ft/1.8meters. its crazy how lame my cast are without any weight. 😠
Yeah...try a longer rod. It helps a lot
longer rods with lighter actions will cast your 1/4 oz spinner super far.
