=========================================
Hello Fishing Planet friends,
~ NOTE: you might know me as "talk2troy" in FP.

I was fishing in Florida for the whole month of November.

I made a lot of money while hunting the elusive 13+ LB uni Large Mouth.
I caught plenty of 10-11-12 LB uni - but I never caught that 13+ LB bugger - YET.
However, I will catch a few of them - eventually...

Anyway, I needed a change of pace for December and decided to hunt UNI TROUT for the next month and hope you will join me & my friends for trout fishing tips & markers at all of the trout lakes in FP.

=========================================
Before launching any trout lakes - you need to buy & load the right gear!

Search youtube to find the trout lakes + appropriate Rods, Reels, Lures, Bait, etc.

I grabbed some info from a FP wiki, but it is very out of date.

I plan to go to these lakes in the following order (about 1 week @ each?):
~ Colorado = very pretty but very tiny lake = quick trip (short 3-5 day week?)
~ Alberta Canada = bland white scenery, I only know a few holes (3-5 day week?)
~ Oregon = lots of holes, will be here quite a while :)
~ Michigan = I know some holes & people here!
~ ~ last week of DEC & then staying to farm $$$

Nice update to previous video @ COLORADO.

https://youtu.be/JGC-4XyefFg

Everyone here is happy to help, so just be friendly, say hello, ask for tips & share advice!

[GameBrain.media]

This is from 2017 but still worth watching...

I'm heading to Colorado in a few minutes - I wanted to write some notes RE: various species, lures, retrieve techniques, etc. because I can't remember all the variations!!

I fished @ Rocky Lake, Colorado yesterday (SAT) - started with a morning peak, I skipped mid-day & went to an afternoon peak & then fished all night on a great 9pm peak that stepped down like stairs all night. Got a UNI cutthroat, good number of trophy & one rainbow trophy that I figured was a UNI because he fought so hard!!! Great FUN!!

Anyway - full day & night only got me 120 LB fish and $11K (non-premium), but trout are really FUN and fiesty fighters! Had even more FUN when 2 of my friends showed up and we compared lures, locations, markers, baits, depths, etc.

Finally, a 30 minute event popped up when I restarted my day, so I joined that as my first ever event & caught a UNI cutthroat in the first 5 minutes. I need to check the final standings to see how I did (I was 42nd when my 30 minutes ended) but for a first ever event it was really FUN!

Hmmm... looks like there is pattern here... lots of FUN!

Also, travel is only $2,850 + $500 to add each day.
~ I bought the unlimited license when I was a noob, because after 1 day, I knew I'd be back.

I might shoot for some pan fish today too because I can see them right at my feet!

Anyway, hope to see you all at the lake!

Hey, if anyone cares RE: my 1st event = Old Bucks Competition @ Rocky Lake, CO

I finished @ 70 of 114 finishers & 210? entrants

[GameBrain.media]

Got my UNI Colorado Golden Trout @ 3+ LB today !!!!

I love this little lake - you think it might be boring because ti is so small, but that just gives you the chance to cast EVERYWHERE with EVERYTHING and catch SOMETHING!!!!!

So if you look at the species list for this lake - there are 2 UNI trout - cutthroat & golden.

I plan to dig into the other species and make sure I get one of everything in the next weekdays.

We are headed to CANADA next weekend.

Hope you will join us!

I fished daytime in CO yesterday & am just about to jump in to a final night here.

Heading for CANADA later today / maybe tomorrow...

You could try some Crickets, Bread or Dough (Peas if you have access to them) with #1/0 on the bottom to get a white sucker (Carp species) to add to your fish caught list while your at Colo.

[GameBrain.media]

Thx, Julian! I am missing the golden shiner at this lake (got some at other lakes) and never caught the white sucker.

I just left CO & headed to CANANDA for a 3-5-7? days.

I love CO tho & will be back to find that white sucker on my next trip.
~ along with some bigger UNI cutthroats, goldens, trophy blugill and crappie, etc!!!!!

Great little lake!

Started CANADA this morning.

After a VERY slow start hunting LAKE trout w/ spoons, I changed my strategey.

Went to shiners on #3/0 hook at edge of ice & scored a 5.51 LB uni BROOK trout.

I'm pretty happy with that & will return tomorrow & next few days until I get a UNI lake trout.

This "trout hunt" month has been a ton of fun so far & we're only on lake 2 of 4.
