- I was fishing Long Lake and noticed this small creek so I figured I'd burn a half hour trying to get something going in it.

I always watch the commercials in full hopefully that benefits your channel
Really cool fishing 🎣 place
Right on. Thanks you. For the most part, you sticking with it since the beginning is enough!
I gotta thank you, Amani. I picked up some Marabou jigs a few weeks ago. I've never used jigs for trout. Was up at Sawmill Lake near Bowman and caught (and released) three beautiful browns (14", 15" & 17"). Caught a few others, but didn't land them.
Right on. Sounds like a great time. Those marabou jigs don't always work is calm water but sometimes they are good. In faster sections of river they can be very effective for the larger trout. Let your adventures begin!
@@wildernesswithamani1027 The two larger ones were caught in moving water. The small one from calmer water. I gave my buddy a couple jigs. He caught a nice little 14" rainbow from his kayak. Marabou jigs won the weekend. 👍
Thanks for the video. I loved fishing with my fly rod in those back creeks. Not able to anymore.
Oh man, that's a drag. I got more of it on my 'backcountry lakes and creeks' playlist and plan to get a lot more content like this on there as long as I can hike to it. Hopefully I can bring some more of this type of action to you.
Them little creeks is about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on.
I agree. Fishing creeks like that is some of my favorite fishing I can do. A lot of sneaking and crawling around but it's a great time.
Love it! When I was very young I cut my trout fishing teeth on streams just like this! Thanks again!!!
I love small creeks like that as well. Once I see one, I have to fish it! I'll, sneak, kneel, crawl, fight bushes, whatever it takes to get fish out of it!
@@wildernesswithamani1027 When I was very young...like between 3 and 15 father was a heavy duty mechanic for Al Haworth Construction and every summer he would work 20 to 30 miles off highways in the Sierra Nevada building logging roads. Most often highway 108 out of Long Barn. When school was finished I would go up with him a week or two at a time. They would build their roads up to and across small streams all the time. It was fabulous because in most cases you knew nobody had fished there for years if not decades! 2 or 3 times a week, as the sun would get low, we would grab our poles and take off up stream beating the water with dry flies! Great memories of my dad just after fathers day!
Nice, even with the line wrapped around your rod before the first eye 😉
Just get the fish on the hook and I'll figure it out!
That was really cool, reminded me of my father teaching me how to catch trout in the small streams near Ellensburg, Washington, where he grew up.
Fishing small creeks is a blast. One of my favorite things to do.
have you tried hat creek? or Baum Lake? so much fish!
or try cassell damn
Burney creek / falls are good too
I haven't. I've been told about them. I like these small high mountain streams above 10K because it's cooler in the summer and I'm not battling through bushes dodging rattle snakes. I need to start scouting out a lot of rivers open year round so I can hit them when it's cold. Section 5.85 of the regulation guide put a lot of rivers in play during the off season. Maybe some of those are on it!
Very your channel. I am curious to know your fly fishing setup, and equipment you are using since I am a rookie to this fly-fishing. Thank you
Go to my 'fishing tips playlist' and check out my clip "want to try fly fishing? Here is just enough to get you started." The title of the clip is something like that. That sums up the basics of what I do. I tie 4lb vanish fluorocarbon to my fly line as a leader and tie the fly I'm using to the end of that. I mostly use nymphs and streamers. I typically show the flies I catch fish on in the clips and talk about my leader length in nearly every fly fishing clip I have on my 'backcountry lakes and creeks' playlist. I typically use a 4 piece fly rod/reel combo that runs about $50 including the case. I keep things simple and inexpensive.
holy cow that was a big brown for that lil creek
that euro nymph is called a Perdigon
Yeah, I was surprised by it myself.
Love it dude! Absolutely love your channel. Thanks for making this video. 🤙🏼
Right on. I'm going to try to hit a bunch of small creeks this year in the backcountry as long as the water is flowing. I have some on my 'backcountry lakes and creeks' playlist but I want a lot more. I'm going to have to get out there and find them because they aren't coming to me!
the fly looks like a quildigon or perdigon. great for getting down fast. good as the point fly when tight line nymphing. olive quildigons are deadly in the Owens...
Yeah, those thing sink like a rock. Good to have if the situation calls for it.
Hi Amani,
Where is this outlet creek located at? I don't remember seeing any creek like this hiking up to the long lake. I didn't notice a visible trail going to the outlet of the long lake.
Hike around towards the side of the lake away from the main trail and you'll see a log jam and that's where it's going out. There are a lot of long lakes in the Sierra. This is the one off Bishop Pass. It's a good size outlet creek so if you are walking the shoreline you can't miss it.
Yeah, I know it's the long lake out of south lake trailhead in Bishop. I just never walked to the west bank of this lake. Thanks for this information!@@wildernesswithamani1027
Thanks for staying wild - and not chasing the stockers”” 🙌🏽
The stockers are easier to get to but I'll take quality over "easy" any day of the week.
I watch all your videos, but dude, you have to throw a dry first in a creek like that, you won't put all the fish down. Then put the nymph on and catch more fish... double the fun!!!
I light up small creeks like that with nymphs. The only fish I really cared about in this half hour of fishing was the first nice brown and I got that running my nymph deep along the far bank under the bushes. Any commotion before that and that fish would probably never hit. Just a guess.
Dude, I have that reel. It's at least 50 years old.
It's a relic! I got it at a garage sale decades ago.
I surprised you haven't tried Tenkara fly fishing. Seems to be a new fad these days. Great video, thanks for sharing.
I think Huck Finn called it a cane pole! I see a lot of people using those things. I could definitely do damage with one of those rods in certain situations. I'll be fishing creeks soon where I have to cast from a distance away just to keep from spooking the fish. Crystal clear, low flow, I don't think I could get close enough with something like that without scaring everything. I'm good with the versatility of my fly rod.
