Trout Fishing - How to CHEAT! (SIMPLE Method, HUGE Results)
How to catch trout on lures - the EASY way. This video is full of tips and tricks that will help you catch more fish, GUARANTEED. More specifically, we look at how lure fishing for trout can be made easier in clear, low water conditions when it can be difficult with methods like spinning. If you've done a lot of lure fishing before then this won't be new to you, and you will probably already use this technique but I hope you learn something from it regardless. Plus, we even managed some huge surprise fish at the end and had a bite from a VERY unlikely species.

I live in the United States, I came across your video and realized I have a lure pretty much exactly the same just a different color. Never even thought about using while I have been trout fishing ! Cool video bro, cool to see people love the sport all over the world.
Definitely give it a go mate! It’s awesome to hear there’s people watching over in the states. By any chance do you know anyone that makes videos over there? Or know of any channels a similar size to my own? Been looking for someone over there to make some long distance videos with 👍
another great video mate! A pleasure to watch
Thanks for watching mate I appreciate it!
elite video George and those cranks are just the mustard!! love it pal!
Aye they definitely are the mustard!
I have the trout kit from rapala and they are excellent. A good days fishing there mate. Well done.
Thanks mate, great little selection of lures isn’t it 👍
I usually go with worms in creeks and small parts of rivers but i have micro cranks and i am going to dust them of and give them a try! Keep it up!
Thanka mate! Yeah micro cranks can be so good in the right situation. Thanks for watching 👍
Nice video George. Don't know how I missed this one. Just ordered a Rapala Trout pack after seeing this video. I'll give them a go on my holiday to Loch Earn next week. Cheers mate 😁
Thanks mate! Definitely give them a go when you're there. Great lures!
I wouldn't be complaining about those chub. Nice to catch any fish they are all beautiful in their own way. I was happy to get a very golden brown trout when salmon fishing on Monday.
Yeah they’re great fun to catch. Good effort on the trout it’s always nice to not blank when salmon fishing whatever it is that ends up on the hook
Cool video, love trout fishing got to get my self some minnows never used them but they looked awesome nice size chub as well must of been a good fight. Got to get out fishing soon as. Cheers buddy.
Thanks mate! Yeah definitely get yourself some small minnow patterned lures. Thanks for watching!
Just fished the Poudre river west of Fort Collins yesterday. River is super low this time of year. The Browns are getting ready to spawn. Was using Rapala CD5's in Brook Trout and Brown Trout patterns. Pretty successful day! 1x Cutbow, 1x Brown and 1x fat Rainbow. Was also fly fishing but took all my fish on crankbaits. Great video 🍻
Thanks for watching mate! Sounds like a great day's fishing you had. Is a cut bow a cross between a cutthroat and a rainbow? Never heard of that before!
@@adventurefishinguk Yeah mate you got it! Cutthroat are the native species of Colorado. Rainbows and Browns were introduced. Rainbows can interbreed and the offspring are called Cutbows. They are bred and stocked from captivity too. I'm actually Welsh, from just north of Cardiff. Been over here 22yrs. Great channel you have here! Subscribed 😎🍻
Nice one. Good video for the rookie spinner. Got loads of trout outside my work down from Nether bridge that I am struggling to catch. Had a little one but there some biggies in there. Btw, the pink flower you slowed on is Himalayan balsam, pretty but bad for river ecology!
Thanks mate! Yeah the big ones are always that bit tougher to catch. I had no idea about the Himalayan balsam thanks for letting me know. I’ll keep an eye out for it!
Another great video George , after having spent a small fortune on lures and jigs for my annual Windermere trip a fortnight ago , the first time I`ve been fishing in over 30 years --( I totally blanked by the way) I`m going to try a couple of your recommendations on a weekend away at Berwick on Tweed over the August bank holiday ..I`ll keep you posted haha
Thanks Neil! Yeah Windermere can be a really tough water to fish, any lake that big usually is. Yeah do let me know how you get on, looking forward to hearing about it. Don’t give up!
@@adventurefishinguk Hiya George , After watching just about all your vids on here I splashed out on the Fish Rig 180 and the RR1000 ( fantastic customer service from Rigged and Ready by the way ) I had a 6am bike ride to a canal 5 miles from home , the feeling of catching my first Perch in 3 decades was one I won`t forget for ages . thanks for renewing my love for this hobby
@@neilyorks well done Neil. This comment has made my day, I’m so pleased you’re rediscovering your love for fishing. It’s a great thing to do! You’ll have to let me know of any more fish you catch 👍
Another nice video ! Keep it up
Thanks mate, will do!
That looks absolutely lovely mate. Yours sincerely, fellow crocs enthusiast.
😂 Thanks mate!
First vid of yours I've seen...sub worthy
Thanks Jacob really appreciate that!
Nice video again George .. when i fished the Ehen in West Cumbria it used to be fly fishing only in summer months / low water ....
Thanks for watching! I believe it still is on the Ehen
@@adventurefishinguk also not so many fish there & the surrounding area now - families of otters & the odd mink taking the fish :(
Crocs on 😂 fish on 😂 another great episode 👏🏻
Thank you! The crocs always seem to be a good luck charm
I've got a trip planned for next weekend and I just ordered a few packs of these lures. I don't think that there are any chub in the waters I'll be fishing, but after watching this I reckon I'll catch a few anyway.
haha yeah you've got a good chance with these fish can't resist them. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment
Any Mepps spinners u can’t go wrong
Thanks for the tip :)
Thanks for watching!
Nice video mate 👌
Thanks for watching mate!
@@adventurefishinguk no worries mate 🎣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 finally I’m famous !!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 them crocs are One amazing essential items of Fishing I definitely need to get but like I said George my other half won’t let me get any and she’s threatening to search for the car just in case I sneak them in the boot. Much appreciate for mention and our lass was in stitches 🤣🤣🤣. Cracking vid buddy and some great info as always 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 can’t wait to get out and so glad the weathers cooled down a bit !! That chub was a proper chunk and well done to ya ….. still buzzing at this end ( what a big daft kid I am ) !!! Hope the little ones doing well and ya never know !!!! Could I be a “ LOX in CROCS “ 🤣🤣👍🏽👍🏽🎣🎣
😂😂
Haha Lox in crocs is good but i think John Crocsley has more of a ring to it 😂 Glad you enjoyed the video again and thanks for watching, new you'd like this one!
@@adventurefishinguk 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that’s a belter George
@@johnloxley8705 😂 credit to Georgia for that one!
@@adventurefishinguk thanx Georgia 🤪👍🏽😀🤣
Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit kzhead.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.
Absolutely!
Another great vid ;)
Thanks Rob!
Great video pal
Thanks mate 👍
Thanks for a great video. Sorry if I’m being dumb but I can see a few Rapala trout packs and I’m not 100% sure which are the right ones/size. I checked our Rigged and Ready and couldn’t see the ones you recommended. Can you please point me in the right direction?
I'm not sure exactly where to get them from vut i think these were about 3.5cm
I fish for trout alot with lures and spinners but I'm always surprised how shallow they will hold up. Also was losing a few when they where jumping and spitting the lure so I changed from braid to monofilament that's extra stretch seems to help. Great video tight lines 👌
Thanks mate glad you liked the video! I used to do most of my trout fishing with mono but decided to change to braid for bettee casting and a bit more resistance to abrasion 👍
I agree with that. I very really load up braid. I juat keep mono on the reel amd put a wire trace if needed (switching over to pike etc)
@@riverhuntersuk7387 spool with braid add few feet leader to the braid save u cutting ur braid to re-tie lures on +het the bit of stretch to help hook up
Great video thanks! How long is your flurocarbon leeder and is it tied directly onto the braid?
Thanks mate! it's about 2 feet, maybe slightly less, and tied directly onto the line. Hope this helps!
@@adventurefishinguk cheers mate
I'm catching up on your latest video's but thanks to this one, I remember chubs exist in the first place. I had to translate to Dutch to find out what they are called here. They do live here in The Netherlands, but are not a popular predator fish. Those are pike, zander, perch, asp, cat fish and eel for fresh water. Chub seems to be more of a fish that is occasionally caught with maggots.
Thanks for watching mate! A lot of people fish for chub with maggots, worms and bread over here too. It's becoming more popular to lure fish for them though!
I'm used to using traces,@@adventurefishinguk; mainly due to pike and perch being in my usual local waters. How would you recommend replacing the wire trace for trout? My usual rig is braid mainline - anti-kink vane - flouro/mono leader - wire trace Maybe a low-visibility snap swivel or link tied on with heavy flouro/mono...? Assuming you reply to this, please try not to suggest anything too small, as I'm not the best with extremely fine/small gear; I just don't have the fine motor skill...
..Ah rules and conservation on lures for trout and salmon means no double hooks....but I glimpsed I think youd organised that?..please note We are moving to single hooks ... Some rivers and beats do not allow spinning in low water eg Lune Eden All to help unhooking and conservation Simon Artley Manchester
Hi Simon, yes I'm aware rules are changing. Not everywhere though! I always make sure i'm following byelaws and club rules 👍
Nice work - I like singles better than trebles especially when fishing catc
h and release.
Thanks mate, i've never really tried singles. I've heard mixed reviews, some say a single hook point = more pressure and more likely to tear a fishes mouth. I find barbless trebles to be just fine!
Try using the 3 cm one , I really like it for small streams , it’s countdown but if your quick reeling you the slack you won’t catch bottom !
I'll look into getting some thanks mate!
For the life of me I can't figure out why you don't have 100k+ subscribers... yet!
Haha thanks mate, hopefully i'm on my way!
So sad there arent really any trout here in The Netherlands.. such beautiful fish
Ah but you have the zander, and some pretty impressive perch! Where abouts in the Netherlands are you from?
@@adventurefishinguk Yeah zander also is a beautiful fish, I've catched one so far this year, it was around 50cm. Dont you have zander in England? I am from the city of 's-Hertogenbosch (also called Den Bosch) and usually fish a bit outside the city and also a bit outside of the city of Utrecht.
@@WSY01 we do have them here but not in my part of the country. Nearest zander is a few hours drive away probably! Netherlands looks like an amazing place you’re lucky to live there!
Caught my PB trout on the small orange lure at the beginning.. didn't weigh, it but it was 24 inches long.. That's 2ft!!!
That sounds like a belting trout well done!
what was that first orange lure and where did you get it from- for a quid sounds great
It didn’t really have a name I think I got it on wish from china!
@@adventurefishinguk where could you get some cheapo ones from the uk
Great vid. Are those lures floating or sinking please?
Thanks mate, I think these are suspending!
Do you only crush the treble hooks if you fish for trout, or do you crush them for whatever you fish on?
Usually just trout mate or perch if I’m fishing with trebles. A single hook jig though for example, and I’ll leave that with the barb on 👍
Hi there I use those same rapalas fishing for sea trout and they are deadly regards Ian R
I’ve had a couple of sea trout on very similar lures. Thanks for watching!
Subscribed... from Scotland
Thanks for subscribing mate, I appreciate it!
Come to New Zealand and try our fishing Cristal clear water and orange fleshed 6lb trout
I'd absolutely love to one day!
Do you have a link to these crank baits
I don’t sorry mate
What time of the year is this? I have found in the summer the fish appear to be sluggish and don't go after lures as much as the colder seasons
I think this was in summer mate
I've caught eels on worm, live minnow, dead minnow and even a fly.
that special colour is actually one of the least fishy of all the colours, use the 2 brown trout looking ones and the rainbow trout coloured one, Try it over time and you will see why they are better than that one.
I'll have to give them a go!
Are trout still biting in this heat? Might have to go on the weekend then
They were where i went mate, and well too!
Just ordered the rod and reel having trouble finding those lures can you put me on to a shop to find them or eBay thanks berated blogs keep it up
You can get them in most tackle shops mate, i think amazon sell them too. Type in rapala trout kit there's a few types but you should be able to find them. Did you use the discount code when you bought the rod?
Yes I got the discount found those crank luers on amozan thanks
@@barbcoll100 Happy to help 👍
Great! What size is the salmo lure please?
I think this one is 2.5cm but it might be the 3.5cm one. Both work for this sort of thing!
@@adventurefishinguk Thank you!
What's the difference between a spinner and a crank bait? Cheers for the video
No problem! A crank bait is like the ones on here but a spinner’s main structure is a rotating metal blade set above a hook
@@adventurefishinguk cheers! Is the top feel adjustment drag? No drag when casting but add some when reeling in a fish? Cheers
Which river is this?
I love the small salmo hornets, pretty much all I use these days for targeting perch and small pike
They’re great aren’t they 👍
@@adventurefishinguk I only have one that is bright yellow/green but I often fish in clear water. I have to go and get a new one with more natural colors for in clear water. Do you reckon that will get more bites?
@@WSY01 yeah natural colours definitely work a lot better in clear water in my opinion
@@adventurefishinguk I'll go get one this weekend, thanks:)
I’ll have to try a Hornet. Absolutely love the Salmo Slider, larger ones cast for miles and are great for pike. The small 5cm one catches perch, pike and chub in my local small river. Always use the natural roach pattern.
Anywhere I can get trout in Manchester?
Trout love rivers and streams 👍
Do u use at trace when u go for trout
No not unless there's pike around
@@adventurefishinguk thx just new to it
Best place u lure fish trout in the uk
Probably this river 👍
I’m new to fishing, what do I use with braid line?
You’ll need a leader or trace mate. Wire trace for pike, or fluorocarbon leader for smaller non-toothy fish 👍
@@adventurefishinguk thank you mate, any chance you can link me what to buy please? I’m looking and I’ve got no idea
It will only be for brown trout, and maybe chub
Rapala has got 3.5cm And 5.5cm Which is better for brown trout
Personally i'd say 3.5cm 👍
Why they call it fishing. You never know what’s going to take the bait. In those conditions trout will like the deeper water or in the faster water that has some depth so they can stay cool. I’ve seen them in those conditions actually borough a little in the mud to stay cool. Thanks for the vid it is fun watching get after them
Thanks for watching! Yeah the unexpected is the best part about fishing isn't it!
From your experience can you catch half decent trout in TINY streams?
You can mate yeah! Not all of them though
Did I see you on a news report about effluent flowing into a river. Didn't show you but I'm sure it was your voice.
Not me! If it was on ITV about Windermere I know who you’re talking about. Matt staniek he’s called, he’s about my age from where I’m from so wouldn’t surprise me if we had similar accents 👍
@@adventurefishinguk Cheers for that...I was just curious. Love watching your ultra light fishing...reminds of my young days back in the Highlands of Scotland. Our go to light lure was a 1/8 oz droppen in silver and blue.
@@WATTSROBIN thanks mate, I love fishing ultra light too. Makes even the smallest fish really fun to land
What weight are these lures in 5cm
I'm not quite sure sorry mate!
Have you just tied the lure to the line? Or do you have a leader?
I've got a fluorocarbon leader on braided mainline mate 👍 With a little lure clip
@@adventurefishinguk thank you, with a swivel?
@@lukeburnett8538 I just use a knot mate 👍
What size lure clip do you recommend for such small crank baits?
10:25 When I heard Boris was stepping down.
😂
Only ever caught trout on bread they love it
Never heard of that method before but i dont doubt it works!
U ever been fishing in Ireland ?
I haven't unfortunately mate although I would love to one day
@@adventurefishinguk ahhh I live In Ireland and love the sea fishing here
I've caught 3 eels on lures
Very interesting, what lures?
Wow that chub is a tank
Big lump of a fish wasn't it!
Hi, Where about was this location?
The river Wyre 👍
@@adventurefishinguk which bit of stretch though 😆👍
Also why crush the barbs?
If you're planning to release the fish, why have the barb at all? Most of my trout fishing is done with flies and switching from barbed to barbless had no effect on the lost fish to landed fish ratio ( I usually lose one in three), but they are easier to release, especially the little ones.
It’s better for the fishes mouth mate 👍 quicker and easier to unhook
It might be a bit warm for the trout at the moment.
They seemed to be biting really well mate! I was surprised how cold the water still was in my crocs 👍
I meant more for the dissolved oxygen concentrations. They can struggle to recover after being caught if the water temps are approaching 20. Maybe it is not that high yet though.
Lots of fly fisherman not going out in this heat as it puts a lot of stress on the fish. Keep in them in the net to de-stress , recover a bit. Anything much above 20 is a bit too warm. Quite a few fishing waters in the S.E of England actually close when it gets too hot in summer
Decent fish rise behind you when you where holding fish up
Didn’t notice at the time! Plenty of fish in that river 👍 thanks for watching
I'm an expert - I once caught a 2.4 ounce Roach!
On a crank bait?
@@adventurefishinguk Erm... no. On a maggot 😄
These small baits are absolute bangers, Purchased a set of 5 from aliexpress and they absolutely getting destroyed by trout and chub!
They're really good arent they. A great thing to have in the box especially when spinners aren't working. Thanks for watching!
@@adventurefishinguk They are for sure the best trout baits I have used so far. Been fishing multiple times at trout locations with spinners and was unlucky but these ones close the deal for sure!
Whats the cheat????? Its babys easy to catch no cheats needed
Micro crankbaits, fishing might be easy for you but it isn't for everyone!
I almost unsubscribed when I saw you not only net that first fish, but use a net with holes big enough for it to fall through🙄
😂 mistakes were made that day!
Calm down Karen
