Awesome video bro, i love the creek. Back in May i had a crazy good day making it back to the final pool. Took all day but it was a perfect cloudy day, caught like 5 fish over 15 inches and a bunch of smaller bows. Tight lines brotha 🤟🏽✌🏽
Cry me a river man these parts have been F-up for a while now and agreed people that do fish these parts know to keep quiet . Get off the dudes back . Sick video btw 🤙🏼
Absolutely epic. You are firing me up to hike in and fish local. Can't wait for fall/winter. We've had an early and hot summer this year so hoping for a cool September & October and w/some early precip (wishful thinking I'm sure). By the way are you also rocking the fiddle and mandolin in your music? Love the personal touch! (I'm taking a similar approach of recording my own music for my vids, awesome to see another angling musician).
A cool Fall would be great but I'm not holding my breath. That's not me on the fiddle, I play several instruments but fiddle ain't one. every once in awhile i get together with the guys and we just play a ton of stringband music and I record it all so i can use it on my episodes. Then other times I just record in my studio with what i have and what i can play, like banjo and guitar and bass, or piano and mandolin or something. I love combining the music and the fishing, stoked you do too!
Great vid,and catch...I assuming you walk upstream from the BTN parking lot? My question is how mutch you walk upstream? I was fishing it downstream but the graffitis snd left over trash make me sad...anyways I catch a lots of bows. Regards from victorville.
I fished the North Fork yesterday, I caught seven and my wife caught eight. They were all less than 4” long. They were smacking our PMD dry flies all day long.
@@HookontheFly it’s really exciting! I had a few jump out of the water to bite them, lots of fun dispute the tiny fish! Hopefully they’ll survive long enough to grow into big trout!
Yes, you need a California Fishing License to fish (game wardens will check) and you need an Adventure Pass to park most places in the San Gabriel Mts as it is National Forest. The adventure pass is only $15 or $20 and it will save you from getting an expensive ticket.
Fished up there 100s of times, your 2nd fish is about as good as it gets up there. Make a video on DEEP CREEK in the SB mountains, some good fish in those deep holes.
I’m 70 I used to fish the east and west fork when I was a kid used to go with my dad the fishing was almost always good great memories
It's a special place for sure

Hell yeah dude! I'm hoping it's another wet winter so it will be good again next Spring too!
Keep up the videos! Love the content
Thanks for watching!!
Not sure I’d be advertising those fish to the world. That area is getting WAY too much pressure these days and the fishery is showing signs of abuse.
99.5% of people who watch this video have no idea where I caught these fish, and those that do know to keep their mouths shut.
I agree, this river sees so much pressure already… respectfully I do not think it’s the best idea to blast it on RUclips.
@@jordancollins1626 I'll bet a cold beer you have no idea where these fish were caught.

the farther you get, the bigger the fish
Those mountains are dope man , the right spots hold them 🤙🏻 luckily lots of people still don’t know
yup, i think a lot of people don't like to h ike in there either, they stick to the roads so they miss out on a lot of the great spots deeper in
@@HookontheFlythey are just fat , generally where the fat fisherman can’t get there will be fish
@@Fedsmoker-reborn yup, so many ppl dont wanna put in the leg work to find quality spots, i got skunked a few times bf i found these fish.
Nice release on the first one 😂🤙🏻 handless release
😁he let himself go!

That's awesome, I love it when they're eating dry flies!

@@philr3510 If we get a wet winter this year like we did last year then they are gonna grow grow grow!
Is this on the bridge to nowhere hike and past ? Amazing healthy fish unbelievable
Also any small tips on flys to use up there 😃
No, this is in a different part of the mountains
a pheasant tail and a parachute adams are all you need anywhere in the san gabriels
do you need a license?
Yes, you need a California Fishing License to fish (game wardens will check) and you need an Adventure Pass to park most places in the San Gabriel Mts as it is National Forest. The adventure pass is only $15 or $20 and it will save you from getting an expensive ticket.

Deep Creek is on my list! I need to explore the SB mountains more, everyone keeps telling me there's a lot of great water there that I need to fish.
