Many many years ago there was a campground there. It was a good place to camp when the park was full. Lots of happy fishing memories in that stream. California’s amazing trout fisheries get so little credit.
Oooh, camping there would be awesome. I completely agree about the credit. The books on streams in UT, CO, OR, and NV (NV!!!) are all inches thick, but the CA book is a quarter inch and lists maybe 20 rivers throughout the state. That misses so many options. I don't get it.
Hi there! We met briefly at HBP a while ago. Nice video! I fished that stream last year and also did well. All small, but still fun. Very close to there, another good spot is to hike upstream from Rainbow Pool. South Fork of the Tuolumne.
Hey, great to see you here! I need to thank you for motivating me to get out tot the Hat. You're literally the reason I went for the first time this year (I'm a highly suggestible person). I've driven by the RP but it's always packed with swimmers. Maybe I have to give it a go when it's colder.
@@abushinthewoods yeah the pool itself is often packed (in summer). but, as often the case, even just hiking around the first bend, fishing becomes surprisingly good. it's not a well defined trail but access is OK for a little while upstream
I need to go there sometime. I’ve forgotten how to dry fly fish small streams ever since I learned to nymph, combined with the fact that I haven’t dry fly fished at all this year because of high water and my nymphing tendencies. My first instinct is to nymph, but I need to remind myself that it used to be to throw on a dry and I would still catch fish before I learned to nymph. Maybe it’s also because I’ve lost the patience of watching a dry when I know I can catch them easily with a nymph. Next year I’ll fish dries…but then that’s what I said last year.
I feel all of that. I almost won't fish a straight dry anymore. I have to have a dropper on it for my confidence if nothing else. Get out there and let me know how it goes!
What’s the approach (if any) to keeping the streams there with native fish? Some places you are encouraged to remove any non-native fish.. like Brookies and Browns. Just wondering if that’s a thing there
Amazing video, thank you for sharing.
What a beautiful little stream thanks for sharing!
Beautiful place and fish. Well done sister.
good stuff😉

I don't actually know. I don't remember seeing anything in the regs. Interesting question!
