In this episode of Angling Wisdom, Patrick Edwards invites expert angler and guide Brian "Bro" Brosdahl from "The Bro Roadshow” to explore the fascinating world of yellow perch fishing. Although Patrick admits he isn't an expert on perch, he has had plenty of unintentional catches while targeting other species like walleyes. Brian, a passionate and seasoned angler, shares valuable insights on yellow perch behavior, fishing techniques, and the importance of conservation.Tune in as Patrick and Bro discuss:Yellow Perch Overview- Native to North America, yellow perch are prolific breeders but can be overharvested. Larger “jumbos” are prized, but most perch are 6-10 inches long.- They are opportunistic feeders, eating minnows, crayfish, and snails, and are great for beginners due to their eagerness to bite.Fishing Techniques- Perch are found at varying depths depending on food availability. Target big perch with patience, especially in heavily pressured areas.- During the spawning season, fish for males near spawning areas using small jigs and waxworms. In summer, use underspins with minnows and nightcrawlers (Learn how to catch your own nightcrawlers here: Angling Wisdom: Episode 4).Year-Round Perch Fishing Strategy- Winter: Early ice fishing targets areas near green weeds, while mid-winter fishing focuses on deep basins with heavy lures.- Summer & Fall: Perch feed on crayfish and bug hatches, with aggressive jigging techniques working best in cooler water.Conservation and Ethical Fishing- Selectively harvest and release large females during spawning to ensure future populations. - - Use durable gear like tungsten spoons and specialized hooks to minimize harm during release.- Overharvesting is a concern, and anglers should limit their catch to preserve perch populations.Fishing Gear and Techniques- Brian shares tips on ice fishing equipment, including forward-facing sonar and 24-inch track snowmobiles for mobility. GPS tracking is essential for navigating unpredictable ice conditions.Fishing is about more than just catching fish—it's about understanding fish behavior, using the right gear, and maintaining an ethical approach to conservation. Whether you're a novice or an experienced angler, these insights will help you enjoy the sport and preserve it for future generations.Thanks for tuning in!

In Episode 11 of Angling Wisdom, Patrick dives into the topic of fishing knots. A good knot can be the difference between landing a big catch or losing it along with an expensive lure. Patrick covers his top three fishing knots, explaining their strengths, uses, and the scenarios where each one excels. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned angler, this episode is packed with practical advice to improve your knot-tying skills.

In This Episode You’ll Learn About:

• The Palomar Knot: Known for its incredible strength and simplicity, the Palomar Knot is a must-know for any angler. It's ideal for big game fishing but requires a bit more line and can be tricky to tie in low-light conditions.
• The Improved Clinch Knot: A versatile and reliable knot, the Improved Clinch Knot works well with various line types and is Patrick's go-to knot for most fishing situations. It's easy to tie, quick to learn, and suitable for a wide range of lures.
• The Snell Knot: Particularly useful for bait fishing, the Snell Knot ensures that your bait stays aligned with your hook. It's also a crucial knot for anglers who make their own crawler harnesses.

Check out the videos included in the youtube version of this episode for visual demonstrations of each knot.

Choosing the right knot depends on your fishing situation, the type of line you're using, and the bait or lure you're working with. Master these three knots, and you'll be well-prepared for most fishing scenarios. Be sure to do your research and practice knot-tying to avoid the dreaded experience of losing a catch or lure due to a poorly tied knot.

In this episode, we dive deep into understanding walleye vision and how it influences lure color preferences.

Drawing from an article by In-Fisherman and a study conducted by Ohio State University, we explore what walleye see and how different water conditions affect their behavior. In-Fisherman's article sheds light on walleye's color vision, revealing that they can perceive orange, red, green, and yellow, with combinations like fire tiger being particularly effective.

Meanwhile, the Ohio State study delves into how water clarity impacts lure choice, with findings indicating that walleye prefer certain colors under specific conditions.

Key takeaways include: the effectiveness of white lures in clear water, yellow and gold in sediment-filled conditions, and black and purple in algae-infested waters. We also discuss the importance of considering environmental factors, such as water temperature and seasonal changes, in optimizing fishing success.

Join us as we navigate the intricacies of walleye fishing and learn from experts to enhance our angling skills. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just starting out, this podcast promises valuable insights to help you reel in the big catch.

In this episode, Patrick dives into the essentials for backcountry fishing, particularly when targeting high-elevation trout species like grayling and brook trout. He shares his top 5 lures that should be in every angler's pack, along with detailed tips on how to use each effectively.

Top 5 Lures for Backcountry Trout Fishing:

• Flies – Dry flies, bead-headed flies, streamers, and more are essential for catching both trout and grayling. Pro tip: you can cast them far using an A-just-a Bubble.
• Spinners – The Panther Martin (gold blade, black/yellow body) leads Patrick’s spinner lineup, followed by Blue Fox Vibrax and Rooster Tails. These lures excel in both deep and skinny water.
• Spoons – Featuring PK Lures’ Flutterfish and PK Spoon, these lures allow you to fish the entire water column. Be sure to have gold, nickel, and copper-colored options.
• Crankbaits – Suspended crankbaits like the PK Ridge Rattler or Rapala X Rap work wonders in mountain lakes with piscivorous trout.
• Jigs – Patrick’s personal favorite. The marabou jig’s lifelike motion is versatile, effective, and affordable, making it a must-have for rivers, lakes, and more.
