- Here is a list of what I consider to be the 6 biggest trout fishing mistakes that are made by a lot of fisherman, particularly in small streams and rivers.
Many newcomers to the sport of trout fishing find themselves bewildered to the different challenges that trout fishing presents as opposed to most other forms of fishing.
Trout fishing is a form of fishing all on it's own. Trout are a cold water species of fish and have an incredibly diverse diet.
Hopefully this video of the 6 biggest trout fishing mistakes that I see many fisherman make when they are learning the ropes of trout fishing will help you increase your catch rate when you are next out trout fishing in a small stream of larger river.
Dude,
Do me a favor: NEVER STOP making videos!!
I learned more in these, less than 10 minutes, than any other video I've watched.
EXCELLENT!!
John ORourke WOW thankyou so much for your amazing comment. I get a lot of comments and miss a lot, and just stumbled across this now. Thankyou.

shcomptech Hey buddy thankyou so much for your wonderful words mate.
Love it mate, have been sitting here watching ur vids for the past hour!!
Great advice. A lot of this I've used for shoreline bass fishing over the years, but I've yet to do any trout fishing. Glad to know that I've got a leg up for an upcoming trip to a trout stream. :D
For sure! Very helpful indeed! Subscribed

Shootem556 Hey Shooter thank you so much mate.
Love the tips Robbie, looking forward to catching more trout after following your advice
For the first 2:30 of this video, I thought I was just listening/watching a podcast, by how well he was blended in.
im 33, going fishing for the first time since i was 9. taking my brother in law and my neice & nephews. i dont wanna look like a jackass, so im doing as much research as i can. this video is helpful and appreciated! Youre a cool dude! Subscribed!
Haha thanks Kyle, I don't try to be cool, it just happens to be that way. 🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣
Great tips I make some of those mistakes but I don't as much anymore when I'm trout fishing
This video really helped me I wouldn't have thought of any of this stuff, thanks.
Hi mate thanks so much for the great feedback.
Those are all great tips. Thank you very much.
awesome tips Robbie. thanks for sharing mate
Great advice. I am going to the Eastern Sierra in Central California in a couple of weeks and I will use all six pieces of advice and teach my eight year old son the same thing.
Greg Corrigan Hi Greg thanks so much for your kind words. Good luck fishing with your 8yo. I too have an 8yo, a beautiful little girl.
great video mate love fishing
Awesome video 🙂 thanks so much for making this, really helpful and well-made. Looking to go trout fishing soon, hope it goes well, i‘m sure this video will help.
I'm new to fishing as a child I always wanted to fish but my father never wanted to take me and now that I'm older I'm doing it myself and I've learned a lot by watching your videos. (New subscriber)
Hey mate that's fantastic. Thank you for your kind words. Good luck on the water.
Instant thumbs up when I saw the caption about the tournament shirt lol. Great video thank you for the information, not to mention entertaining!!
Haha thanks mate.
Good advice that not a lot of people think about..
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Hoping to put your tips to good use soon.
Great tips! Be quiet is the biggest thing not only does it bother the fish it bothers other fishermen.
Hey bro some really good tips. Happy safe fishing from Perth WA cherrs kiwi
Love your videos mate ! Good job
This advice is spot on - fish upstream, find the pool, (don't want to see a rising trout), cast as far as you can ahead of the pool, and move on after 2-3 casts. Small stream trout fishing is hunting and requires stealth, working alone, and covering a lot of steam in short. I averaged ½ mile in an hour.
Outstanding! Thanks for the tips buddy!
Perfecto Thankyou very much.
robbiefishing your welcome.
Great video mate . Simple yet effective :) .
New to your channel and new to fishing thanks for sharing this will help
great tips thanks👍
All true, great video. I'd like to add one: if you can't get fish to rise on a dry fly, switch to wet ones, don't waste time trying to force a fish up.
Another great vid keep it up 👍
Wow this gave me more knowledge than any other video. Post more videos.
Thank you so much Luke.
I think you're a great CZcamsr keep it up and I love it how you always have a good sense of humor and you always have a great smile
Hayden Kelynack Thank you so much Hayden. My smile would be better of my teeth were a lot straighter. LOL
Thx mate can't wait to fish now
Great tips!
Great info mate!
I truly believe I will finally catch a fish
when i clicked on the video and just saw u and the intro.. i knew i would watch every video great content
the meme squadYTp's WOW mate thankyou so much for your wonderful comment. (And for watching my videos) 👍
Learned that downstream bit the hard way. Finally my partner told me to walk down the stream and then fish back up.
New subscriber here. Good info.
When I put my Gopro under water, I can still here my voice above the water, so I think you're right in saying that fish can sense that vibration.
Thanks so much mate. You're spot on. I shot some underwater footage with my daughter recently and was surprised at how I could still hear us talking.
I'd agree with all but #1. I've pulled nice fish out of holes i have put 30 casts through. If I really think there are fish present I change depth, fly, and presentation before I give up. Even in small streams.
I have learnt a lot from you and your videos
Hayden Kelynack Hey mate thankyou for your kind words. I hope you're getting onto a few fish.
Yeah I'm going tomorrow at the cosgrove reservoir
Great tips
Excellent video! Smashed that subscribe button!
wonderful video.
thx mate
wow nice job. I agree with all of them. To add to the 'shade' comment, I try stand in the shade any chance I get especially if the sun is low
Charlie Quincy Thanks heaps Charlie, me too mate.
Great Video
You're a gun mate keep it up! That subscribe button was smashed ages ago!
I did well on the Goulburn on sunday. Got 12 between 3 of us. 8 rainbows and 2 browns. Cheers

Good fishing tips like the way you think
Subscribed...Bam ! Smashed it
Great advice Robbie
Vincent Donnelly Thanks Vincent. I hope you're well and I hope your tent has recovered from last weeks trauma. I have been walking around whistling "Wind of change" by the Scorpions ever since I watched your video. Hahaha
robbiefishing Now thats funny. Im in my tent now just watched your new video so im taking off my white red and blue florescent shirt and hopefuly i will catch a fish ha ha ha ha
cool advice Robbie
ritchard Clark Thanks heaps Ritxhard.
sorry Rob.I am in Maine u.s.a.your backdrop in this particular video looks very similar to ours here in maine.and your excellent advice is the same strategy we use here.today was the first time I watched your video,I should have done my research,I will definitely be watching more.again I'm very sorry for my ignorance.
John Sheets haha hey mate don't be sorry. As us Aussies like to say "No worries mate". Thankyou for your kind words. WOW I dream of one day making it to Maine and the New England region. I have been to USA back in 2001..5 months before the trade centre attacks. I absolutely love the place.
Great video and great accent 👍
cocospops What accent? Hahaha Thanks so much mate. (G'day mate....no worries) The Aussie life is a good life my friend.
good stuff mate.
Went out fishing on my own today, first time going solo. Did a fair bit of research and learning prior. Pulled up to my spot and started setting up, next thing I knew, I'm surrounded by folks gabbing loud as can be, kids yelling and jumping on the floating dock, and lines being cast practically over my shoulder. No wonder I never saw hide nor scale of a single fish. I know that there's the old adage that you don't go fishing to catch fish but... really, some folks just can't put a stopper on it for more than a minute it seems.
The "standing in the sun" tip, I thought you were going to say it's a bad idea for another reason. Can't cast a shadow of you're standing in the shade
Hahahaha that's funny.
I agree with the walking upstream when fishing bait or artificial worms, eggs and such. But when throwing spinners I would disagree because in order to make that lure spin you would need to be reeling it in faster than the current itself which most times would probably be too fast. But then again when im fishing a spinner I usually make a long cast across and let it swing into the current downstream
RuggedSportsmen Hey mate thanks for the comment. I suspect that we may be fishing in different sized waterways. I was referring mainly to small streams. What you are saying is very true.
Hi Robbie - do you think that spooked trout who dart off upstream can have an impact on the trout already sitting in the pool they flee into or through? Thanks for your videos - your passion, delivery and genuine nature has made me a huge fan of your channel. Cheers!
Hey mate thankyou for your very kind words.
Yes, I do think they can impact the other fish. Absolutely. They may not scare them completely but may raise their awareness.
On the subject of noise, I have always believed that loud footsteps are the worst, sends vibrations through the water. Stalk the buggers like you would a deer.
Yep, I absolutely agree mate.
Great tips! My biggest mistake is doing videos and yelling while I'm trying to catch fish. Lol
Hahaha Thanks mate. Im going to check out your channel when I get home and have Wi-Fi. I tend to get a littleniver excited myself. LOL
robbiefishing Great, I have done some videos with Ryan.... flyfishingninja. We get together once or twice a year and we have such a great time. Ryan told me about your channel. Later
hey robbie love the vidz mate, I was just curious if you could do a similar vid for Murray cod?
Christopher Wood Hey mate what a fantastic idea. Thankyou for the great tip.
7th biggest mistake is taking this advice for ALL trout fishing even if your new to trout fishing. Seriously, It's not bad advice for novice, but people need to understand what applies under their circumstances. I fish a couple small stream that pass thru pastures where no trees are around. I need to wear tans, light blues , grey or white to blend in. If not the dark drab colors make me stand out against a bright clear sky. If the stream is small try not to wade, period. Cast from 5-10ft back on bank kneeling down. It's like hunting. Stay well off the stream and you can observe the whole or pool. Walk right up and you will typically push a trout upstream alerting other trout of danger. Great point though on staying quiet and concealing your silhouette.
Todd H It's comical when novices, like yourself, attempt to critique an obvious pro. Do yourself a favor, and make yourself an instructional video for you to watch by yourself. Now, go back to sniping chubs.
TheOriginal JoeSchmoe Robbiefishing didn't seem to mind and it was all in jest, except that variables do play into what type of small stream you are fishing. Novice, not really. No, not a pro because I don't have sponsors or fish tournaments. You, a moron. Get bent lad.
Todd H Quit littering your live bait cans, lass.
This was great. People always take the easy way out and fish down stream. They're lazy and then wonder why they cant contend with people that put in the work.
ty
As a man who raises trout I can tell you from my years trout hear well, they are the most finicky fish ever and to anything objective.
Basically, don't be a lazy hunter.
If I’m using worm and casting it in a run a seating the rod down to waiting for the fish to bite. How long should I leave it there before I recast. I know u mention two/three casts then move on, but what length of time in between. Thanks pal. Great videos
"Smashed" it!!
Don't be a lazy fisherman... Greetings from maine m8.. gR8 vid bubbah
For fishing lures and spinners in a fast river do you still fish upstream? Just seems I have to reel so fast it feels like the trout won’t get a chance to bite. The river I’m on about is fairly wide about 300-350 yards and not too deep probs about 4-5ft at the deepest bits of that makes a difference. Just getting into fishing and absolutely loving your videos btw:)
Thanks so much mate. The bigger the stream, the easier it is to fish without spooling the fish. In some large river overseas fly fisherman will stand in the river, swish the gravel with their feet releasing nymphs and bugs, and then fly fish downstream with great success. That technique wouldn't work with a tiny creek though.
It's always best to fish upstream however you can get away with fishing downstream in larger rivers.
@@robbiefishing awesome thanks, I did see a couple people fly fishing down stream the other day up there and was wondering why, so that explains it. Thanks again ya legend!
Cast your spinners upstream and just reel a bit faster then the current to make the blade spin , it’s deadly , just think how silly it must look to a trout a small fish going so fast upstream, not natural at all by the opposite a scared little fish will dart down stream
Went fishing with my friend recently and he insisted he play music on his portable speaker. I asked him to turn it down but I already knew we weren't gonna catch anything that day.
But was it good music? LOL
Can you hand reel fish trout im a beginner and just have a hand reel any tips
Rule #7: When small stream fishing with bait use as little weight as possible. Simulating as natural of a setting as possible is the most effective way to fish. Here, casting your bait upstream and across the/any current then slowly dragging your bait into any current or hole is as surefire as things get.
hi there from jimmy the yank ,boston massachusetts u.s.a
WOW you're a long way from me. Thanks so much for watching my small channel from the land downunder.
Close, but not quite. Prey animal's eyes don't face up, but they face outwards and sit at the sides of their head, what this gives them is the ability to nearly see behind themselves, they nearly have a full field of view around their body. Where as predators have two eyes facing forwards to gauge distance precisely for a strike. Of course this isn't to say that no animal has eyes facing upwards, very small animals that exist on the ground and tend to have predators attack from above, such as a bird attacking from above, these will commonly have eyes more towards the top of their head than the sides. Generally small sized bottom level animals, so the mudskipper, the flounder, the snail, the crab etc. But for the Trout the orientation is at the sides, this enables it to nearly see behind itself, so a larger fish doesn't eat it. Despite most animals with forward facing eyes being because of their distance gauging nature, for humans it isn't the reason, we come from apes and monkey and such, and most of them aren't predators, and the reason they have forward facing eyes is that they are experts in trees, and they need to gauge swinging distance and such, so they don't fall down onto the forest floor and die. Humans gained our intricate digit hands and our long arms from our tree living ancestors, however our legs became longer when we left the trees and became walkers more.
Hey. Got any tips for catching trout in a medium sized stream for mid-august?
Fishing The World Hey mate the streams are closed here in August sorry.
Fishing The World Nightcrawler is the best thing to use.
Never thought an Australian would be able to provide good tips on trout fishing!
Hi, new sub here with maybe a dumb question. If a person smokes cigarettes and handles bait or lures, can the fish detect that and maybe refuse your offering due to that scent? Nice video, I’ll be watching many more between now and opening day.
Zandar Franklin Hi Zander thanks so much for subscribing. Personally, I think that the smell of cigarettes would definitely make it less attractive to the fish as it is highly unnatural.
Smart fish like trout would probably be reluctant to take the bait, whereas some species such as carp would probably not care.
As I don't smoke I have not experience with this but that would be my guess.
I’ll bear that in mind. Thanks very much for responding.
Zandar Franklin i smoke. While I fish, while I tie on another jig/ or lure. And i catch some nice ones. 7-10 lb browns, at least 4 or 5 a year that size. I dont think they notice. And I use alot of marabou and chenille jigs which I'm sure would hold the smell more than spoons or stick baits. Yozuris rapalas etc. I use those too
Jarret Jordan , Ok Jarret, I like hearing what you said. Thank you very much for your input. Continued good luck fishing and have a great day.
Jarret Jordan , I was wondering, do you fish strictly with artificials, or do you use a little power bait or maybe some minnows from time to time?
I honestly you were going to talk about casting at the beginning of a whole and not ruining the whole hole!
From Scotland, we fish in Lochs and rivers mainly. In Loch fishing we have tried float fishing, spinners, bottom fishing, fly fishing and have used flies, maggots and worms on hooks and some powerbait lately. My dad and I are pretty new to trout fishing and have pretty much caught, nothing!!! We wear darker/camo clothing and keep back from the bank. Not sure what we're doing wrong. Help!!!!!!
if you can see the fish the fish can see you
Already 'smashed' dewd!
Urban Fisho hahahaha young people.. ...gotta love 'em! Word up!
Predators have their eyes in the front...prey have their eyes on the side!
Its how they recognize each other!
beth98362 sharks...
Fishing where there are no trout is probably #1.
Bloody me and a mate fished down a river for five hours
