trout
I'm from up north so i know basically nothing about catching those little mountain fishies. Its something I've been wanting to do lately. i do not know how to fly fish either. i guess main question i have is next time i'm headin south should i bring my tinner? or could a non fly fisherman catch from on shore?

If you're talking about stocked ponds, all you need is some powerbait and a pickerel rig, I like to use the rainbow colored stuff (green/yellow/orange swirl with sparkles) and swap out the J hooks with some small #6 (I think) sharp Mustad hooks.
If you're fishing small streams I'd suggest small mepps or panther martins with shinny brass, in yellows, blacks, oranges and maybe greens. If fishing larger streams and rivers I'd suggest a buzz bomb tipped off with a fly like an electric prince, or even a worm. A worm will work well in the stocked ponds on a rig or bobber as well. |
right on thanks for the advice Kurt.

What are you fishing? A river or stream or lake? What kind of trout are you targeting?

coming from slave i have family and friends around the red deer area so would be willing to check out probably anywhere in es2 or similar distance. not looking for anybody's hotspots just advice. a change of scenery and species would be refreshing. |
Forsure I sent you a pm, I don't mind sharing a couple of my honey holes

That buzz bomb with a prince is the "bomb" on the bow for browns.

the bow may be a little too far south for this guy however i feel like that setup is a good one i'll have to try it out in a few different places and see what its all about. never caught a brown trout how do they taste? |

There's a little stocked lake called lily lake near slave and i can't wrap my head around why those brookies taste so good. probably because it is a deep cold spring fed lake. other than those i always thought trout taste like mud. I'm the kind of guy who likes to find out first hand though. i eat almost too much pike and walleye. a good perch or whitefish haul would be nice. i have a 20lb laker in the freezer waiting for a big ol fish fry too lol. but i can catch all that in my back yard. the real trout near the mountains have sparked my curiosity lately i need to see what its all about. |
Mud taste in trout
trout have a mud vein on the outside of the fillet just under the skin. It can be seen as gray colored down the center of fillet after cooking, if lightly scraped off the fish does taste alot better and hardly any mud taste. Maybe so with any other fish that has muddy taste, Scrape off mud vein. |

they still taste like mud compared to walleye. but i'm not a picky eater :) |
Ah yes, i'm not a picky eater either. For sure no comparison with walleye but not everyone knows about the mud vein, I sure didn't and was getting turned off by the taste. How can a freshly caught fish taste so bhlaa..... as I was only in the trout world at that time.
