Episode Title: Trout!

You are listening to Fisherman’s Friend, the podcast with your host Gio. In this episode of Fisherman’s Podcast the Podcast we discuss: what rod and line you should use,Lures for trout , and After you catch the trout, what to do.

Trout don’t have much power so you don’t need a super heavy rod. Unlike bass or crappie, trout are most of the time fat but small. Unless you live in the north or in Europe, then the trout are going to be huge. For rods, you should definitely not waste your money on some fancy 200 dollar heavy rod. You should instead purchase an ultra light rod. This is because trout are small and fat, sometimes skinny. This means that they are not too powerful so you are not going to need a really heavy rod. This will also save you a ton of money. Next is the line, as I said trout are not too powerful so you're not going to need a super heavy line unless you're in the north. So, the line you should purchase for trout fishing is around 5-10 pound line, super cheap and saves you a ton of money from the other expensive heavy lines.

There are many lures out there for trout. For trout, most trout go for smaller and colorful lures. Some colors you should use for trout are pink, green, orange, yellow, and silver. The trout get attracted to these bright colors. Some lures trout eat are small crank baits, rooster tails, grubs, or even small spoons.

Once you catch the trout, you must have a net with you. The trout’s oils and skin do not like our skin. If a trout comes in contact with your hand, it will most likely kill the fish. So, when you catch this trout, you wanna first get it in your net. Once it is in your net, you want to decide if you want to hold the trout or just release it. If you want to hold it, you have to first wet your hands in the creek or river where you caught the fish. You could then hold the fish after that.
