Trout Fishing and the Spawn


Listen Later

This conversation is about spawning trout. Specifically, we tackle the ethics of fishing during the spawn, whether it’s right or wrong to fish for trout that are actively in the process of making the next generation of trout.

Moreover, where do these ideas of what’s ethical or not come from, and why are the expectations confusing for a lot of anglers?

Is it okay to be on the water while trout are spawning, or should we simply stay away during the spawning season and let trout do their thing?

We branch out into different trout species, and we highlight how different regions, different rivers and different setups might require a different approach.

This topic can get a little contentious. Anglers have strong opinions about this, one way or another, and for many people there’s not much middle ground.

We’ve covered this topic before, in a couple Q&A sessions in different podcast seasons. But this topic deserves its own podcast, and it’s been on our list for a long while.

Trust me when I say that none of us are here to tell you how to fish or when to fish. But this topic is one that each of us has given a lot of thought to over the years. We’ve also seen anglers have a change of heart, and we’ve been around to witness some heated disagreements about this topic too.
