YouTube Shorts | Trout Fishing | Corn vs Powerbait?
More fun collating past trips into the YouTube Shorts video format. This one was a fun trip to a small pond stocked with trout. Decided to fish corn and Powerbait to see which bait the trout liked. Lesson learned... Bring both!

Added it to the COAF Shorts List.

Watch This Video To Learn What We Discovered | About Trout Fishing | Corn vs Trout

Interesting discussions about corn and its affect on trout. Key items noted about trout fishing with corn in the video.

Bottom-Line: Personal choice and in seasonal fisheries where trout will die off in warmer months, impact of corn is lessened.

YouTube #Shorts | Fun One | Bass on the Fly

Cold temps outside, and this weekend's trout derby is postponed. Time for another YouTube Shorts video to add to the playlist; trip to the local pond fishing with a fly fishing gear. Several fish caught with this Bass being the largest. Went over 15", caught and released to get bigger; maybe will catch him again when the weather warms up again.

This round we prepare to answer the question or at least gain insight on the effect cold temperatures have on fluorocarbon. To setup for a simple test, we place 4lbs test  flourocarbon and 4lbs test monofilament in a freezer overnight. More to come on the outcome of the simple test.

Also, we answered a question about suggested baits for an upcoming trout derby, and mentioned the latest iFishNews Fishing Podcast is posted on iFishNews (https://www.ifishnews.com/) as well as the remainder of the Little Red Book of Fly Fishing podcast series is being streamed on our Internet Radio Station - iFishNews at https://ifishnews.listen2myshow.com/ 

Do check them out when you get a chance, and do check back to see the results of the simple test ... Does Fluorocarbon get weaker in cold temps?

corn and its affect on trout

That was informative I was always concerned that corn baiting and chumming was killing our fish. Although I do not personally use it I feel better watching someone else fish it. Thanks for the post.

Check This Out Before You Go Fishing | Does Fluorocarbon Get Weaker... Maybe Knot!

A simple test to determine if Fluorocarbon line gets weaker after it sits overnight in freezing temperatures. Need more samples to answer the question, but did notice that the results so far suggest paying attention to the knot and worry less about the cold!  Check out the video for more details and our plans to continue to testing!
