    @kitekid96 Not really a good idea. Best to stick with using flies with the fly rod.

  • kitekid96 says:

    Hi i was wondering if you knew how to fly fish with salmon roe ive always wanted to know if you could use bait on a fly rod

  • fishingwithrod says:

    @akintomeatloaf Inline spinners are pretty easy to make, you just need to buy the parts (blades, lure body, beads, split rings, etc) and the wire twisting tool. We’ll eventually produce some lure making video tutorials. :)

    Check out Yakima Bait’s Rooster Tails as well. There’ll probably be another video on spinner fishing featuring these lures.

    @fishingwithrod I’ve checked out their website and they look like a quality company!
    How do you make your own spinners? Is there a resource that you have or a video that you will make in the future showing how to make them? That would be a really helpful video.
    I’ve mainly been using Panther Martins and Kastmasters for the trout around my city and have done pretty well thus far, but would love to be able to use more variety.
    Thanks for responding, and as always, awesome and informative videos!

    @fishingwithrod Hmm ok. I was trying below the No 2 road bridge with no success. the water looked beautiful there just wasn’t anything there.

    @akintomeatloaf Gibbs Delta is a Vancouver based company that makes fishing lures and other accessories for salmon and trout fishing. If you Google “Gibbs delta GCR-TN1B”, you should be able to get to the page of the net that I use in this video. I do use some of the lures made by Gibbs Delta, mainly their Croc spoons for salmon. For trout, I mostly make my own spinners.

  • akintomeatloaf says:

    @fishingwithrod Ah, thank you! I’ve never heard of Gibbs-Delta (I live in California near the Monterey Bay).
    Do you use a lot of the lures for trout from their stores?
    If so, what colors/patterns have you found the best results with?
    I think in your other videos (the spinner/spoon how to fish series) you showed some lures that I recognized on the GIbbs-Delta webste.

    @Photobby Pink salmon roe, cured with Pautzke Fire Cure, rigged on a bottom rig (a fixed weight at the bottom, around 1oz because the current is not very strong, and a 1ft leader around 2ft above the weight, hook size is 1).

  • fishingwithrod says:

    @2rdbase I do sometimes. It really depends on the situation. If the fish are biting constantly, then it doesn’t leave my hands. In this case, the bites were actually happening once every 10 or 20 minutes, so I preferred to lay it down.

  • fishingwithrod says:

    @exoticsnakes Pink salmon roe, cured with Pautzke Fire Cure. Anywhere along the Fraser River can be good, timing the tide is more important than location.

  • fishingwithrod says:

    @teethsheet This is the Tidal Fraser River in Vancouver. Setting for the camera? It really depends on the lighting. It was quite sunny so the exposure was turned down quite a bit even with a dark filter on the lens.

  • fishingwithrod says:

    @akintomeatloaf I’ve had that catch and release net for almost ten years now so can’t remember exactly what kind it is. I’m pretty sure it is made by Gibbs Nortac (or Gibbs Delta now). The fabric is definitely very easy on the fish and I like the large opening for easy handling. The metal handle is extendable and stand up to the silty water in the Fraser River quite well. I remember it as being quite reasonably priced, around $40 – $60.

  • fishingwithrod says:

    @canadianKIKI Yes. Cured pink salmon roe with Pautzke Fire Cure. Check out the video “How to fish: Curing salmon roe” in our archive if you want to know more.

  • fishingwithrod says:

    @Bobbleheadalex13 Tidal Fraser River.

  • fishingwithrod says:

    @johndaytonjohnny Tidal Fraser River. Season is tapering off now.

  • fishingwithrod says:

    @Kremlin60 We have been trying a few times in the last several weeks with only some success. It should be much better right now, especially with good water clarity. Not sure why we’re not finding as many bull trout and cutthroat trout compared to other years.

  • fishingwithrod says:

    @Andreh78 No. Better, from Taiwan. ;)

  • fishingwithrod says:

    @LordMikkell The season runs until early December but usually tapers off from the beginning of November.

  • fishingwithrod says:

    @flobbv Thanks!

  • fishingwithrod says:
