River Fishing for Trout Using Bottom Rigs – Rainbow and Brook Trout

Have you ever gone river fishing for trout using bottom rigs? I catch both Rainbow Trout and Brook Trout in this video. After no success trying to catch a fish on a live minnow I’d just caught, I change to corn. With two pieces of corn on the hook and a pinch on sinker, I end up catching multiple trout. You can see me catch a 10.75 inch Brook Trout which qualifies as a trophy fish here in TN. Consider trying a bottom bouncing rig if there are trout in a river near you.
Its really easy to set up and it can catch fish for fun and for food. Check it out in the video below!
