    Love all of your videos. If my wife would give me more slack. 😆 🤣 😂 I would be out there as much as you. You are so lucky. Happy fishing 🎣🎣🎣I'm like you. I drive 4 to 5 hours to hike in and fish and get home at 12 midnight 🙃. Me and my friend John. We call them Torpedo runs.

      "Torpedo runs" is a pretty accurate description for what my bros and I used to do coming up from SoCal for over a couple of decades. Now that I live up North again, not much has changed! I just go more often!

    I try to catch and release 3 maybe 5 then maybe keep a couple. That way the lakes can never be fished out. Big brookies generally means population low or medium.

      Those fish were the perfect size for some frying pan action. The fishing in that lake was solid. I want to get back up there and check out the inlet area if it's reachable without a serious struggle.

      Things started a little slow! I was concerned at the lack of interest those first fish I tried to catch showed in my offering. Once I started moving along the shore and making adjustments it all clicked. It was so hard to stop fishing!

      Those are rocky boot company. Isolated and waterproof. The waterproofing doesn't last if you hike a ton in them like I do. Red Head hunting boots are solid. a little pricy but worth it. I have a lot of info across my channel playlists that might help you if you are just starting out.

    • @wildernesswithamani1027
      @wildernesswithamani1027  2 года назад +1

      It's still a little sketchy with the left hand and my right hand sucks at managing the line! I plan to get some more practice both fly fishing and spin fishing this week and probably the next. I haven't even tried using my spinning rod left handed. It could be real ugly! My right arm should be good in a couple of weeks. Hopefully!

      That lake was a real treat. I never heard of it until I saw on the map at the trailhead earlier that morning! I had to be careful because my search and rescue email I give to my brother telling him where I'll likely be found if I'm overdue only included the inlet creek to South Lake and Long Lake!

      They were rising. I just like to fish nymphs in alpine lakes. I have clips for a bunch of lakes in that area on my backcountry fishing playlist if you haven't seen many of them and are interested. I have the hikes for the lakes on my hiking and backpacking playlist. It sounds like you are in for a good time. I hope you light it up.

      @wildernesswithamani1027  2 года назад +2

      I've done a few of them. A couple on my 'lakes and reservoirs' playlist and a few on my 'variety playlist' where I cook fish shortly after fishing. They haven't gotten any more interest than my straight fishing clips. It's probably because cooking really isn't my thing.

    • @wildernesswithamani1027
      @wildernesswithamani1027  2 года назад

      I'm going to let it play out. It snaps back fast with the rehab regiment I got going. I cut open a couple of large freezer jell packs, poured them into gallon zip locks, and flattened them out. I wrap those frozen around my arm and it makes a frozen sleeve. Works wonders with some massage. If I use my left arm more for a couple of weeks I am expecting full strength soon. I should have started trying to fish with my left arm weeks ago to rest it more. Oh well, going forward I know what to do. If I can get the left arm casting down it will also help me be more effective fishing because no matter where bushes or obstructions are I should be able to get a better casting angle if I can use both arms as needed. I still need a lot of practice and I still haven't tried it with my spinning rod. This week is going to be all left handed again.

    • @wildernesswithamani1027
      @wildernesswithamani1027  2 года назад

      This time of year, I recommend getting out there early. I have a lot of Tahoe clips on my 'lakes and reservoirs' playlist where I sometimes discuss what I'm doing to catch fish. I use my basic reservoir rig up which can be found on my 'trout fishing tips playlist' with the exception that I up my mono to 8lb and then just use a 6lb leader. Hooks and bait info can also be found on my 'trout fishing tips' playlist. Good luck.

    Dude, those trees on the little island out there in the middle of the lake reminds me of this lake in Red Dead Redemption 2.
    It has rainbow 🌈 trout in the lake. By the looks of it, your catching plenty on the fly rod.

I plan to go even higher in a couple of weeks so we'll just have to wait and see what snow is still lingering up there. Glad you enjoy my videos because I have grown to love making them.

    yea you definitely want to do a slow strip on those nymphs. real nymphs hatch near shore and slowly swim to the surface so they are keyed in on the slow, twitchy movement. Damselfly nymphs and gold ribbed hares ears work well up there too

    • @wildernesswithamani1027
      @wildernesswithamani1027  2 года назад +2

      My best action was dropping in within 3 feet of the cruising brookies and getting them to react with an impulse strike. Sometimes, the slow deeper strips is all that works though. If it's slow, like it was when I started out, I just start varying my retrieve until something starts working. Fun time out there. I want to get back up there. Maybe find the inlet in back.
