I hope to do some ice fishing this year. I didn't get any in last year.

Yeah, I got one of them in Emerald Bay last time. I posted the video a few weeks back. I've also git a couple of small ones on the Nevada side. They are definitely in the tributaries on the California side. I got several when those where open. Looks like they are spawning.

Yes I do. South lake was super low for a few years and the exposed creek in back was amazing for browns, rainbows, and brookies. I have clips for that creek on my backcountry fishing playlist and on my Patreon. That creek seems to get exposed about every 7 to 10 years when either there is a drought or they are working on the dam.

That is one of my favorite lakes to fish but the hike there is brutal. In the Spring/early Summer, be ready for a lot of bears up there! The lake we hiked to cross country above, Brannigan lake, was amazing but getting there was no picnic either. I have a clip for that lake up from this trip and the rough cross country hike as well. That's where we ran into that bear. We were using the bear trails to get through the dense woods at the Back of this lake so we weren't totally surprised to run into that bear. It was just a little close for my liking!

Right on. Glad to have you as a viewer. I have hundreds of videos across my channel playlists. Hope you enjoy them. I plan to have a lot more to come in the future.

Right on.

Right on. I had this short song I had been wanting to use for a while so I threw this together with limited content but the action has been good enough to get it done.

I ate way too much pie! I guess that's what the holidays are all about. Hope you had a nice feast with friends, family, or both.

So many layers!

It's an ongoing struggle!

Right on. What I ended up having is way too much pie!

What spot. I have hundreds on my channel dude. Go watch something else or keep watching. I don't care. Your baseless spot burning claims have not panned out. No spot is burned and the fishing seems to be fine everywhere I return to and there's never anyone fishing there. Keep crying for no reason.

right on.

It's really shallow for a lot of the shoreline. I had to walk a fair distance to get to this spot. I remembered this deeper area from when I shot the video with my boat but I didn't recall it being this long of a walk from where I parked. It was far!

Right on. I'll be heading up past that way at least a few times this cold season.

Yes. It's a lot better than when it's hot and the water is warmer. Mackinaw and Rainbows are cruising close to shore. The boulders can be dangerous with ice and snow in the Winter. I often seek out easier areas to walk around on like some of the spots in Emerald Bay. I'll be fishing Tahoe a bunch of times this Winter. My fishing tips playlist has a clip detailing how I rig up for the lake if you haven't seen that information and are interested.

@wildernesswithamani1027 i went this morning because of you and caught a nice little rainbow! So are the trout closer to shore right now?

Right on. That thing can be tricky to navigate.

Getting your hands wet during those early hours is always brutal! I usually stop fishing and stand there with my hands in my pockets for at least 5 minutes before I start fishing again. You need to be able to fell your hands to fish!

I don't mind getting the hands wet for decent fish when it's really cold but I am always hoping the small ones cooperate and just fall off!

My most of my whole fishing approach is formed around that concept.

Thanks. I use 1/8oz marabou jigs. I was thinking about getting some 1/4oz jigs for the higher flows next spring. I have a video on my fishing tips playlist that details all of the jigs I have had success with since I started using them a few years back.

Right on. Scouting rivers is always an adventure.

I am using the cheap crappie jigs from bass pro shops here but they fall apart really easy and require wrapping a tight later of yarn around them. The gold hooks are tougher to file off as well. I've had success with a few different brands. I have a clip on my fishing tips playlist that details the different brands I have had success with. The ones made by Hawken fishing are my favorite. They don't fall apart and the barbs are easy to file off.

Yes!

Yeah, it took a while but I got there. My fishing universe continues to grow!

I had wanted to get out that way for a couple of years now and I am glad I finally made it. The bobber and a nymph is great for expanding the attack. I really like it when I see a fish follow my jig but won't strike or misses it. I can then hit it with a completely different look with that simple set up.

Love those rainbows in there.

Getting your hands wet in that weather sucks for sure but if it's a decent fish I don't care. I need the really small ones to just fall off that barbless hook! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.

real nice looking fish and hard fighting. Tons of river out that way to explore. I want to get back out there when road construction crews aren't in the way of the best looking areas to fish!

I can't argue with that. The video doesn't do the amazing colors justice.

Right on. I was surprised how many power stations and dams are on it. I need more investigating.

Right on. This opens a new area for the North Fork of the Feather. There are many miles of river to fish along that highway.

I use a cheap $30 backpacking rod and my Lampson reel was a gift from one of my Patreon subscriber. Before that I used an old reel I got at a garage sale for most of the fly fishing videos I have on my backcountry fishing playlist. My point is, if you are just starting out or mostly care about just catching fish, I'd just order a maxcatch backpacking rod on Amazon for around $70. They come with a reel, floating line, and a 4 piece 5 weight rod. If I got that all I would need to do is tie on a 4lb fluorocarbon leader (I use Berkley Vanish) and a fly. Ready to go! That's my general set up for the dozens of videos on my backcountry fishing playlist. The basics of my alpine lake approach can be found in my "Want to try Fly fishing..." video on my fishing tips playlist if you are interested.

@@wildernesswithamani1027 Thanks!

Don't know what you are talking about.

I never check Instagram! Sorry about that. I started that as sort of an advertisement for my RUclips channel that never really did much. Maybe it will start working in that respect later but I don't count on it. I mostly fish alone. Sometimes I fish with my cousin or old friends but out of the hundreds of videos across my channel playlists almost all of them are just me. It keeps planning simple with my busy schedule with work. I'm at a point now where so many viewers have asked me to go fishing I don't want to randomly pick and choose because it wouldn't be fair. Anyway, it seems like all of you are out there with me when I'm shooting content.

Rule of thumb is success speaks for itself. I feel I'm pretty successful at getting quality fish in the net in the hundreds of videos across my channel playlists. You may disagree with that assessment but in the end, I'm just having a great time.
