trout fishing with a rooster tail spinner

I'm fishing from the bank with a rooster tail spinner in this video. the first part I was fishing at a lake trolling with a rooster tail. the presentation is pretty straight forward: cast out as far as you can and "SLOWLY" reel it in; sometime you want to twitch your rod and pause for a brief moment.

for trout fishing, I'm using a 1/8 oz rooster tail spinner. stocked trout aren't so big so any bigger size might produce less bite. I use a 7'6" rod that is rated at light action. line weight for the rod is at 4-10 #.

I was using different colors of rooster tails, and didn't find one color that worked the best; it seems trying different colors is the key. mix it up if one color don't work and always make sure to vary your retrieve speed.

thanks for watching.

*Bought a 500 for an ultralight rod. It's very smooth **enjoyable.fishing** recommend casts great. One odd thing- the bale wire is a bit heavy diameter in my opinion for a reel of this size. But a great purchase.*

Caught a little LMB with a Rooster Tail last weekend.Used my dad old Roosters from the early 90's. Worked great on the trout..

Rooster tails were the first spinners I ever fished with and caught rainbow trout in the eastern sierras here in California. I never fished with other spinners until years later. The yellow color or bee I think it was caught the most fish.

Trout always tend to bight right by the bank but man the fish committee does great with stocking trout all around the country I love it

(Skagit County area Washington) At Big lake I use rooster tails colors, red with a silver spinner and green rooster with a silver spinner for catfish, sometimes bass hit too. For Lake Cavanaugh, I use red or a brown feather with a copper spinner and if its late afternoon I use a bright yellow with silver for Rainbows, and for KokaneeI. I always love using rooster tails since I was a kid on and now I still share the same tools to my kiddos to find their own surprise fish coming out of the deep. Fun times. Thanks for the video, I always keeping up with your shows. Great job!!

Hello Pk Yi
I try fishing for trout in upstate ny with my grandson. I use rooster tails fishing from the bank, and while fishing from a canoe. The last week of May I can catch some to fry over open fire, then they shut down. I enjoyed your video's here on YouTube. Thanks for your tips

[stevencohen]

Great video. Thanks for uploading this! I plan on using some spinners; I found this to be very informative. :)

Good video. thanks. I dont use rooster tails very often, but i do have 3 of them. I use the rooster tails for catching lake trout here in Central CA as well as the Lake Tahoe area. Last time i used a rooster tail at a lake, i caught a 14" bass.

I use them for trout and a 1/8oz white with a half of night crawler works good for just about anything. Nice fish catches

Trout for sure up in Idaho on some freestone rivers. I used rainbow color and got about 10 on 2 hours. Fun stuff. I like your idea of cutting off two hooks so I’m going to start doing that

I applaud your technique, the rooster is a great trout lure.Would you consider using a landing net they don't seem to get used much here in the states. I use the net (telescoping variety) so I can keep it clipped to my side I can enjoy playing the fish more before bringing it to shore. the fish is more tired and moves less before hook removal. when landing I place the fish onto a folded wet towel to minimize contact and help me get it back into the water safely. the only time I extend the time period is when I photograph a worthy sized specimen. thank you for sharing I really enjoyed the video.

PK I use rooster tails and have caught bass, bluegill, trout and crappie sometimes. Rooster tails are some of the best lures out and have been around a long time! I caught 16 trout on a white one last time I went out, sooo much fun!!

[ChrisHeroNerd]

My friends and I have used rooster tails in catching trouts as well. Works pretty well too.

[scionx]

Rainbow trout, blue gill, and small mouth. I mostly like running green, yellow, and orange. Got a blue rooster tail today I plan on using tomorrow. GL out there guys

PK I fish for trout but manage to catch some bluegill too now and then. If I could only choose one color, I'd go with white. White spinners seem to be the best overall for me.

I fish a lot for trout in West Virgina using rooster tails. I have found them to be very effective also for crappie, blue gill, and one caught a yellow perch with one. The most productive colors have been: white, silver, green, brown, and black. Mostly natural colors.

I caught 3 trout today using the rainbow trout color body with the gold blade. Great lure, beat out the mepps lure today.

Ive used rooster tails for small mouth bass and it works absolutely great for them in the lake I fish in there not that big bit there pretty nice for southern Oregon
