Nailing Some Nice Triploid Trout
Acme Tackle Tungsten and Meal Worms Slayed Em!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TiuoXc-HsI The Jaw Jacker has changed the way I fish for trout on slow days when the fish don't want to pay any attention to a flashy spoon or moving jig. Sometimes these big lazy trout just want a small presentation that is held dead still. You could either do this with a strike indicator on your line or you could just use a couple Jaw Jacker hook setting devices like I do and be busy running back and forth. These ponds can be hit and miss, but early in the ice season from first freeze till the begining of January fishing can be excellent. Don't forget these same ponds when the weather warms up and the ice starts to melt away from the shore. These ponds will once again have actively feeding trout that you can target even after the big lakes are off limits due to fishing closures. So don't put away the auger and short rods, head out to a trout pond this spring. If you want to find a lake near you hear are a couple of great resources that I use to locate new lakes. Friends can also be a big help in locating productive spots if they're willing to share with you. the good thing about trout is that they put a new batch in every year, so you don't have to feel guilty keeping a few for dinner. Best of luck out there. Leave your comments, questions and feedback. I love hearing what you guys want to know and how I can better serve my viewers. If you want notifications don't forget to hit the BELL. That's the only way you can keep up with me these days. Subscription alone doesn't do it.

I was just used to catching all the brookies in BC. |
I just have to ask.....Why would I feel guilty about keeping any for dinner? Stocked or wild? :confused:

Good catching Brandon. I didnt know the fish got that big in that pond. I never have much luck there in the summer.

Man I have been getting skunked hard this season. Its almost like there is too much food in these ponds for the stocked trout!
I usually dead stick one and have another jigging. |

Doesn't take a genius to put two and two together as to why some stocked ponds don't fish as well as they could. J |

Aerated lakes with a limit of 5 just dont make sense to me. Spend all that money (and with the top of the line system they have there its pricey) to have the pond hammered just baffles me. A somewhat reduced limit lets people still eat some fish but also allows some good growth. Those are good sized fish you got in the video but they won't get too much bigger than that due to harvest. I know they are still figuring out stocking numbers in that one. They also had a tough time getting fish in there last season due to the whirling disease impact on hatcheries. Its a great pond. One I have enjoyed taking my kids to since its close by. Just hoping it doesn't go the way of Hermitage where you cant buy a fish there late in year due to over harvest. Was a good video Brandon...I enjoyed. I can imagine the people watching you talking to yourself and running from hole to hole. Must have given them a smile. Non fisher people will never understand! Cheers J |
I'd be curious how they taste? I've only sampled trout from 2 stocked lakes, one tasted quite muddy, and not at all enjoyable. That was Carson in the summer. The winter fish from Spring taste excellent, time and again. Is it seasonal, or lake type that cause the difference?

No one should worry about taking their limit. F&W need to manage fishing pressure and adjust limits accordingly if their is any concern. Multiple stockings are also part of any management plan.

As far as meat quality, I find that it comes down to the particular fish. I've had stocked trout of similar sizes out of Blood Indian at the same time of year that have differed substantially in taste and texture. Winter trout do tend to taste the best on average.
