Check out the video for more details and our plans to continue to testing!

YouTube #Shorts | Fun One | Bass on the Fly

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.

Not The Biggest, But Still Fun On the Fly!

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:

1. Mostly anecdotal comments either good and bad
2. Very little published researched.
3. One study mentioned

• Learned it was a Question and Answer reply by PFC (PFBAC) that references a study
• No published research results online of the study; does not mean it was not conducted
• Specific details of the study by others that were not mentioned in PFC’s QA reply suggests results were available at one time.

4. Conclusion

• Given study cited by PFC (PFABC), short term affect suggests not harmful
• Publications from State agencies offer suggestions and tips to use corn
• Legal in all states except one – Rhode Island trout waters
• No reports of mass fish kills as a result of corn

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