- Well the push is on before inland closer 10/15/2020. Here on a small stream there is some amazing brookie action. A 16+ a cpl 15s, and some 14s. Some multiple fish hole action as well. There are super colors this time of year on brook trout. This stream was clear and low, but the brookies did not seem to care much. Happy fishing!

What a remarkable outing. You have changed my understanding of what Wisconsin Brook Trout fishing can be. Thank you as always for the great videos.
Glad to help! Thanks and happy fishing!!
@@WisconsinTroutFishing, you bet. Your skill at casting, accurately hitting small targets from a distance, as well as prompting strikes in tight quarters, is really impressive. Sure enjoy watching what you do, and all the neat places that you go to. My adventuring days are pretty much behind me, but it sure is fun watching you go to places that I have dreamed about for years (and to do really well at them to boot!) I get up to Marshfield every now and then. Maybe I'll run into you someday. Of course, you're always welcome to swing by Wautoma and I'll show you around. We've got some pretty nice water, as that sort of thing goes. Love to see what you could do on them. Take care!
Amazing fishing, true trout master, i wish i could one day obtain the knowledge and skills to catch so many awesome brookies. Respect
You can do it! Thanks and happy fishing!!
Hi Ron. Thank you for a terrific video featuring colorful wild brook trout. You are a master at your spinner fishing. It is nice to see an expert having fun! It is so very kind of you to share!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks and happy fishing!
Probably the most beautiful Brook Trout I have ever seen! Nice little creek...ideal.
Glad to hear it. Happy fishing!
Best trout fishing videos , huge fan from Manitoba, Canada
Thanks and happy fishing.
Those were the most beautiful brookies I’ve ever seen
They were absolutely stunning Bobby. Happy fishing.
Wow for a small stream that sure held some quality trout nicely colored up too great vid.
Definitely. Happy fishing.
Nice great day of catching love the color son the fish in the fall
Thanks and happy fishing.
Terrific outing Ron. Brook Trout are so amazing. I love small streams like that one. Spin rod is definitely the weapon of choice on a stream like that one. My 8 foot fly rod would be a challenge in tight quarters like that.
Thanks Bill, happy fishing. Yesterday was even better, if u can imagine that. I thought of you while getting one on a figure 64 move. hahaha!
Another quality outing some beautiful brook trout
Thanks and happy fishing.
Oh man I’ve always said 16” brook will go on the wall that one would have been a good one to mount lol awesome fish as usual bud!
Thanks and happy fishing.
What a day--eh! Gorgeous fish
A great day 4sure. Happy fishing!
Must have been a brookie convention in that one hole! Beauties!
Thanks Ken. Happy fishing.
WOW! that was awesome. I went this past weekend and man, they sure were spooky where I fished - saw a lot of fish! Caught a couple decent browns. Missed a monster Brookie while tying to net it. Oh Well! ;-)
Happens to all Scott. Happy fishing.
Awesome video! I know you do not name streams and creeks but I would love to try this one, it looks amazing! Tight lines brother!
That is a tiny sucker Greg. Happy fishing.
@@WisconsinTroutFishing Ya man I fished a tiny creek this weekend(we have talked about it before) and must have caught 30+ fish(all released safely) most of the brooks were between 10-12" and one just over 15".
Awesome brooks dude!
Glad you like them! Happy fishing!!
Dang nice, monster brook trout
Thanks and happy fishing!
Fall spawning colors are awesome just like fall leaves. Best time to fish trout for color.
WI is beautiful. Happy fishing!
Bravo.
Thanks and happy fishing.
I love those little brookie streams. My pb brook trout was almost 18 inches, from a Wisconsin stream. It was so long though, sadly, but no tallness. There are some tall brookies in those streams. Are you gonna make it back to that stream that the giant brookie hit you at?
I was there yesterday. Hahaha. Happy fishing.
Awesome fishing! What setup/settings do you use for filming?! Looking to start doing some myself I just picked up the gopro hero 8
Hi James, I use a Sony AS300 Action Cam. It has optical image stabilization. I shoot in 1080 60p HD. It can go near 4K but the download and upload gets real slow. Most folks find the HD good enough. Batteries are cheap and last 1 to1.5 hours depending on the temp. I use a 128gb card, good for 11hrs of HD. I carry batteries on the stream. Also, just style, but I hate chest views. I wear the cam on my hat brim. Much better angle IMHO and it is out of the way. I hate seeing videos of someone's reel and hands. Lol. Happy fishing.
I hope you were careful and did not step on any brook trout spawning redds in the stream where you caught multiple brook trout. Also, do you have a split ring between the treble hook and the wire on the spinner?
No redds around yet, will be after close before they get down to business. Yes using a split ring now. Happy fishing.
Ron, Amazing outing! Incredible habitat. Quick question, don’t see you get your line fouled on your spinners much. Mine do much more frequently than I would like! I make mine own. What can I do to decrease this happening? If you make the space between the blade and the eye of the spinner very small, does that make a difference? Any tips on this regarding lure making or casting? Really enjoy your videos and appreciate your expertise. Thanks in advance. Happy fishing!
Hi Bill, This does happen occasionally, in the videos u see the miracle of editing. Even with movie magic, it is infrequent. It is 100% related to casting technique. I have some tips. 1.Use a duo snap to attach lures - the small space created tangles less than direct line attachment. 2. Use your reel hand to control distance, not the auto bail retrieve. The the auto bail will often loop the line on the lure from it's sudden action. If you hand brake just before the lure hits the water, it will extend the lure straight and not foul up. If you cast and and let it enter and sink, there is a 50/50 chance the lure will tangle while free falling in the stream current. 3. Overhand looping casts tangle most, learn underhanded casts. Happy fishing!
@@WisconsinTroutFishing Thanks for the quick and informative response, extremely helpful. I have some practicing to do! Thanks again!
I’m sure you get asked this all the time but do you think you catch more fishing casting up or down stream?
I almost never fish downstream and unless land locked or it's the only cast available, I wouldn't recommend it for spin fishing. Fish upstream if you want to even remotely have success. Going downstream will kick up sediment and ruin every hole you may want to fish. Also trout will see you far easier as they usually face upstream when suspended in water or holding in hole. Good luck. Happy fishing.
Where is this located? Been wanting to catch me some good brook. Havent fishing in wisconsin before and those are some good size brook.
Howdy, I do not name streams or places on utube. Check out WI DNR maps online for places you wish to fish. There are no secrets out there, all streams are named and mapped. I fish the western WI driftless most often. Happy fishing!
man, that one hole was absolutely stacked 😂 you caught more fish out of that one hole than i usually catch in a whole outing LOL. awesome video. i really enjoy your content
The fish are starting to congregate to spawning areas. Thanks and happy fishing.
Is this spawning season for trout ? Do the eggs hatch in the spring or fall?
Inland trout are staging for spawn. They will not actively spawn until NOV or Dec after the season closes. Rainbows and steelhead trout spawn in spring. Apr May June. Happy fishing.
I notice you use a clip without a swivel to attach your spinners. Is there a swivel I haven't seen further up the line? What kind of line do you typically use?
I don't use and would never recommend a swivel for a spin fishing. The swivel will actually inhibit the motion of the spinner. I only use 10 lb Power Pro braid. It's the best. I've used many of them, hands down powerpro is the best. If you use a swivel to prevent line twist on monofilament line, do yourself a favor and ditch the mono, u won't regret it. Happy fishing!
@@WisconsinTroutFishing Thank you for the reply and information!
Awesome work! What part of Wisconsin are you fishing?
Thanks. I live about 40 min from Minneapolis and fish the western WI driftless. Happy fishing!
Great job! Some nice fatties with great color on them!
Thanks! Happy Fishing!!
Nice 👍👍
Thanks and happy fishing.
You make casting in these tight spaces look effortless. Do you have any videos where you go through your gear or walk lake fisherman through the art of casting in a tiny creek like that?
There are some instructional vids in my dossier, but I cannot remember all. You could search titles...or watch em all! Hahaha. Thanks and happy fishing!
Amazing fishing way to go! My question is what in the heck is the forage base in that creek?! Any idea what they're muching to give them such girth??
Winter is sparse, but there are plenty of other trout and some minnows to eat. Trout over 4-5" are mainly fish eaters. Bugs when they are hatching are eaten as well, but even a small trout won't live of bugs alone. Happy fishing!
@@WisconsinTroutFishing well said, I've heard plenty about bookies being ravenous carnivores so that makes sense. And thanks, tight lines!
@@trashfishtvoregon7290 Happy fishing!
@@WisconsinTroutFishing I caught 20 on Monday night in a beautiful stream in Western Wisconsin. All natives, 9 came out of 1 small hole/run. I couldn't believe the size of the minnows they were eating, though. A 14" brook trout coughed up a 3.5 inch minnow in a river/creek system that I didn't think had ANY sort of food at all.
You ever sell those spinner you make?
Not at this time. Happy fishing!
Do you have a link to that net youre usin?
It's a Frabil 19" model with a replacement ghost net bag from Brodin.
Man you are in a great place. Give fly fishing a try. Or not, you and/or your wife might end up resenting my suggestion. I started with ultra light spinning, and finally dove into the fly side. It’s intimidating on the surface…but that goes away soon. Being humbled doesn’t.
I have, don't care for it. Between the line work and tight places I fish, I'll pass U do u. Happy fishing!
@@WisconsinTroutFishing that’s cool. Maybe try one day if you get an itch. Totally do able on small streams. It’s not at all like “A river runs through it”…especially east of the Rockies. A lot of small water and Bow and Arrow casting. But getting onto bigger water and being able to really cast is definitely fun.
Awesome fish what part of wi are you fishing I happen to live near lake winnebago and have never seen wild brookies that big
Western WI driftless. Those are babies. 16.75 is my pb and there's a 20 out there somewhere. Thanks and happy fishing!
@@WisconsinTroutFishing any advice we're to locate decent trout
@@harleyboelter4420 The best resource is the WI DNR trout stream maps. This time of year you need to be on springs or the warmest part of streams. The spring areas are the warmest in winter and coldest in summer. Both circumstances attract fish and their food. Otherwise there is no substitute for being on the water. Sometimes its just a nice nature hike. Happy fishing.
What pound line are you using?
For streams I like 10# power pro braid. Lake runners 20# power pro. Happy fishing!
@@WisconsinTroutFishing beautiful fish man! But 10lb braid For 1 lb trout? Unheard of.maybe invest in a new tape measure too those fish were pretty, but no where near 16”
@@trevorwaligursky962 hey to each their own, but 10 lb braid is smaller diameter than 2 lb mono. And in terms of the tape measure dude there's 8 years of video here it's a static tape measure sorry you don't like it but change the channel. Happy fishing
@@WisconsinTroutFishing sorry didn’t mean to disrespect. Great fish man!
@@trevorwaligursky962 No problem, happy fishing! Just grumpy cuz I'm not fishing. Lol
What net do you use
That net is a cheapo 19" Frabil with a replacement Brodin ghost net basket. The frame is several years old. Happy fishing!
@@WisconsinTroutFishing thank you sir
15 16 who care thats a hell of a fish lol
Yesterday was even better. The brookies are insane this time of year. Hell yeah! Happy fishing.
Would you try a fish hawk spinner?
Never have, don't know what that is. Happy fishing.
Yeah there's spots like that you want to get in those deep cold Brushy creeks and get them out
Happy fishing!
You must be in the land of giants
Happy fishing!
please make sure you always wet your hands if your doing catch and release for trout
Yep, safest handling is always a top priority. Happy fishing.
