Dude, not only did I enjoy the tourney style matchups, the overall music, vibe and voiceover were great! Love trout fishing with my granddaughters, we’ll for sure be using pink going forward. Thanks you for the smile, you made my day. :)

I started trout fishing in 1978.Trout are my favorite fish to catch with always plenty of action.You know he is hooked when you see that white belly rolling around. I also love to catch brookies and brownies.Trout are also my favorite fish to eat.In the mountains of east Tennessee is where I used to catch a lot of trout in small streams where the water stays cold year around.Now, I haven't wet a line in 4 yrs because I drive just over 200 miles a day to work and back and that takes up my time and energy.Thank you for the video.It takes me back to simple times when I enjoyed life better.

Chartreuse has always been my go-to. Have caught soooo many trout off of it and it's hard to switch to any other color because of that. But I'm sure every lake/region/state is different. Talk to the old guys who have fished in the area for a long time. They'll know what works and what doesn't. Also, I've always heard that the power eggs and the dough are different. Because when you roll the dough into a ball, you release more scent and it also covers the hook better because you can mold it.

Once again, an exceptional video. I can only begin to imagine the time, effort and patience it took to film that! Thank you for sharing, it was a joy to watch and learn!

Great video! I tend to use more technical approaches for trout but this is great information as my younger siblings and cousins throw power bait most of the year. Thanks for the work this video took

[brandonk]

Awesome video fun to watch. One thing I would say seems to hold true with power bait is water clarity. I use the brighter colors when the water is murky because the trout seem to be able to see it easier. I've tried this method fishing with two poles and 4/5 times I would get hits on the brighter colors.

That is a cracking video mate. I haven't got any of the powerbait colours that did well, off to the bait shop lol.

Yellow/Chartreuse have always been popular, probably because they look like corn. I used to use the chartreuse rainbow all of the time and then went to pink as a backup, but lately I've been starting with pink and going to the chartreuse if they're slow. Now I need to watch your drop shot video!

I love how peaceful and fulfilling farming life looks

When the trout went for the bait, they seemed to go after the one specific color. Interesting little test you did.
I fish yellow power bait in our streams and green in the lakes.
If I fish worms I use natural worms and sometimes a green worm. Someone said it mimics a green caddis or some kind of an insect.
Fun stuff. Keep them coming

Interesting video for sure. Experienced anglers will know this already, but if there are any beginner reading just be aware there are far too many variables to narrow it down to a clear winner though. Sometimes one color will get no attention while another is phenomenal. Fish that same place a day or two later though and it can completely change; be opposite in fact. For instance, this video might make you think orange is a bad choice as it was the first to be eliminated. Very recently however I was fishing a place here in Utah with green(which usually works pretty well in this spot), but having zero luck. I switched over to orange and almost immediately caught a nice big rainbow. It wasn't long after that I had caught my limit(and then some just for fun) and was headed home. As I'm sure many people on here have already said - the moral of the story is it is always a good idea to have a few options on hand. Still super fun to watch these underwater bites though.

One of my favorite sayings about trout fishing with rooster tails is "if one color isnt working today, try a different color". I have the feeling it probably works the same with power bait... some days pink will rein supreme and other days it will be another color. GREAT VIDEO!!!

[vlcheish]

I've been fishing with powerbait since early 90s when it came out. I fish mostly creeks and I can fully say orange is not the worst color by any means for creeks....it's literally at my top of the along with Chartreuse. One thing to note as others mention the water depth along with water clarity and even the bottom will impact results. I would take these results with grain of salt so to speak. You really need to adapt to where you are fishing and this is the same for any species.

This is one of the best fishing video and tips I have seen on YT! Thank you!

As a kid my mother would take us trout fishing and by 8am she would have caught her 2 fish limit from sunrise to 8am using mini marshmallows other fishermen would be in awe and always ask what she was using for bait . She would tell them and they couldn’t believe it. But she did it for years it was funny

When my kids were little we stayed at a trout fly fishing place in WV. Kids were 5 and 6 years old. I fly fished catch and release. But gave my kids mickey mouse rods with pink power bait. I would catch one here or there on fly. Kids were hauling them in every cast. People who ran the place got pissed off and made us stop fishing. No fish were harmed by the kids, I was with them the whole time. I will never go back to that place because of the way we were treated. None of my friends would go back either, and there were 20 of us fly fisherman and girls that stayed there multiple times.

Seriously I watch thousands and thousands of videos, and you did an excellent job! It was creative, informative and entertaining! BRAVO

[RastaMonn]

This video got me to get my camper washed in the driveway and got my old man's tackle box out for first time since he passed. The love of fishing is back. Tha kyou. If ever could understand thankyou. Great video

[garyfallon]

Really enjoyed this clip, thanks for taking the time and effort to create it. Kageyama has a book out called "What fish see". This helps to put the colours in context with the depth clarity and available sunlight.
