Wow ! - Aqua colored Trout was the whole video, nice !

[@HeeyManFishing]

Yea rare, think its got to do with pigmentation just did not develop normally

[@ScootersTroutFishing]

​@@HeeyManFishing It looks to me like a blue rainbow trout, similar to a golden rainbow. It's a genetic mutation, quite rare to actually hatch one. Congrats!

[@nicholascaylor6515]

Thank you I hope we can teach our children your tricks we all love fishing

[@HeeyManFishing]

That's a great thing teaching our children. Good luck.

[@MikeS-DaKine]

Definitely will check out those place. Thanks Sharing

[@HeeyManFishing]

Have fun!

[@thunderroll2504]

You video helps a lot, I am planning to attend the memorial day trout tournament for the first time and have no clue of where to start....2 thumbs up

[@HeeyManFishing]

I have fish the opening day several times held in March, good luck be there early.

[@matthewblack4618]

There were at least 2 spots I haven't fished before! That blue trout I would have got mounted it it was mine. Congrats

[@HeeyManFishing]

Yea, I released it back. I got a 5 lb on the wall 22".

[@PSBEadventures]

Heeyman, great video. Could you take just a second and type out exactly what we'd need to fish this to be legal besides a NC freshwater license? SC resident here and want to carry the kids up there. Thanks man!

[@HeeyManFishing]

Absolutely. Go to the EBCI site here . You can buy the permits online. A N.C. License is not necessary on tribal waters. A one day tribal permit is $10. The site is pretty self explanatory. Good luck on the fishing. ebci-licensing.s3licensing.com/?catalogItem=Fishing

Heyman, is the #2 Bluefox spinner in Gold color your main go to lure in Cherokee

[@HeeyManFishing]

Only spinner I use. Great hooks and quality. #2 on big water, #1 only creeks like bunches . Only use gold. Chartreuse in muddy water.

[@TennTimes]

Nice video, great info. And wow…that blue trout! I had to look it up. Here’s what TroutPro says: Blue Rainbow Trout are a rare mutation that occurs in hatchery production of rainbow and brown trout. It is so rare that one hatchery has reported that in a spawn of about 40 million eggs only about 30 of them are indeed blue. If you are looking to hook one of these rare trout, you should expect to catch millions of fish first or maybe not.

[@HeeyManFishing]

Oh wow good info. I release that blue trout too.

[@martinarteaga5887]

Did you now just come to cherokee? I was fishing just early today and caught a rainbow trout at Big Cove and one at the dame in Bryson

[@HeeyManFishing]

Awesome on you catches. I was there on Friday an Saturday.

[@tomlongbeard6071]

Are you using braid? If so, what pound test and brand? thanks

[@HeeyManFishing]

4lb Cajun Line (red). Mono.

[@hetromahworship12]

It is legal to fishing from Mingo falls to acquoni rd ? And can we keep fish that we caught?

[@HeeyManFishing]

Mingo Falls up to the top of Big Cove is catch and keep. The Blue Ridge Parkway bridge underpass to River Valley Campground walk bridge is catch an release, fly rod only. Most places are posted either way.

[@joecable39nc]

where do i get the permit i have nc fishing licence

[@HeeyManFishing]

Fishcherokee.com

[@truth68-st3dc]

Have successfully fished many of these spots. Problem is tubers, kayakers, kids swimming and splashing, other fishermen making noise. Very difficult to stay on Qualla property.

[@HeeyManFishing]

Oconaluftee and Soco is what I hit during the Summer, Raven got to hit it early morning or go further up Big Cove past the point they put in tubes.

[@greaserbubtheoriginal7923]
