Hi all! I was corrected today (thank you!!!). The Golden Trout I caught in fact were NOT within the border of Golden Trout Wilderness (even though the road sign makes it seem so). I was on the border-ish. The smaller trout I caught are in fact the sought after Volcano Golden Trout (native to that area, but not native to the creek I was fishing). And yes they have been relatively unchanged since the ice age, in a nearby creek lol. These in the video have also remained unchanged but were transplanted about 100 years ago in to the creek I was fishing. Please refer to www.flyfishingthesierra.com for more info. Sorry for my info mistake in the video. Too many confusing “facts” online. Thanks for watching!!!
I brought my Western Fly pole but never put it together. No need. The creeks were tiny and mostly under cover. Perfect for Tenkara. Glad I brought the ultralight spinning rod too. Worked out very well. Thanks for watching! Get up there and catch a few. You won’t regret it!!!
Thank you! It was a blast. I’ll get back there in another couple years. Fun place and gorgeous fish. Mavic Mini… buy an “old” used one. Mine is the original with only 2.7k resolution but it works amazingly

Awesome! Catching a Golden Trout is up there on my bucket list. I want to catch one with a tenkara rod too. 👍

Awesome video! Man the colors on those fish were crazy!
They are really pretty fish. Don’t even look real when I look at my pictures haha. Thanks for watching!
Great video! I recognize some spots, love it up here. (Also, this video is convincing me I need to get a drone, ha!)
