You and me both! It was all good. Just got a little wet. Thought I'd show viewers things aren't always smooth sailing when I'm filming! Thanks for tuning in.
@@wildernesswithamani1027 I had a similar thing happen to me while fishing at my local lake and ended up with a nasty ankle sprain. Count your blessings nothing got injured!
That just happens to be the one time I fall when the camera was running! I had never fished in Lake Tahoe besides the 3 clips I have up. Always seemed giant and I didn't know where to go. I was pleasantly surprised by the fish I got. Thanks for checking out the clip.
Wow! You are certainly a fishaholic. You’re lucky to be there so close to the area and fish when you please. I’m located in Redwood City, Bay Area. I also fished in the ocean as well for pretty everything out there. Many great memories. Fallen down has happened to me many times over the course of the years. What I do is always pack a change of clothes and leave in the car just in case you get wet. Also, pack some bath towels. Feels good when you change into something dry. Just words for thought.
As long as nothing breaks, it's all good. My car was right there. When I'm in the back country, I have a lot of extra gear for emergencies! With that said, your advice is sound! I actually grew up in San Mateo so fishing in the ocean around Half Moon Bay was a regular thing for me. I used to trek out to the far Princeton breakwater during my high school years with regularity. Just being out there was a great day. We also used to fish farm ponds out there as well as the dammed up creek out on Higgins Canyon Road. That was the 80's though! I'm sure a lot has changed. Thank you for checking out my channel. There should be a lot more fishing and hiking to come.
Man, I feel more fragile with each passing day as I'm climbing around on rocks! I really need to pay attention when I'm making my way around the back of Alpine Lakes!
If the camera is rolling when I fall I always show it. Otherwise, I just tell the viewers about it! We all fall sometimes. There's no shame in that! I typically just soak bait when I'm fishing Lake Tahoe. I have all of the particulars on how I rig up on my fishing tips playlist and I also have a Lake Tahoe shore fishing playlist where I fish in various areas around the lake.
Don't feel bad brother. I'd have done the same thing on those rocks. I'd have probably broke something! Really enjoy watching your videos. Looks like you and I are around the same age. Have been fishing since I was a kid, sure it was the same for you. I fish the same system with the slip sinker and leader. I like to add a bead between my sinker and swivel.
Right! I have a had spills a lot worse than that in the middle of nowhere! I just got my leg all wet. At least if I had gotten hurt there, my car was only 100 yards away. If I take a bad fall and hit my head climbing around on boulders in the back of a remote alpine lake, potential raccoon and bear food! I've become more cautious facing that type of situation in my old age! Glad you enjoy some of my clips. I'll have a lot more coming and will keep making them as long as people watch. Thanks for tuning in and sharing your comment.
Don't feel bad or embarrassed I fell in waste deep with a huge fish on so I didn't dare let go of my rod and ended up breaking it when I hit the water on a boulder so I just sat there and hand lined it in and actually landed it but I was freezing cold the hike back up for the car helped warm me up I saw one of your videos while I was at my place in Reno a month ago and you were the inspiration
That sounds gnarly! Yeah, I've had some big falls of my own climbing around giant boulders along big rivers or at the back of alpine lakes. I've been lucky enough to have never ended up in the hospital...........yet! Stay safe out there.
I tried fishing here this past Thursday after watching your vid but parking was full. Cool looking location though. Seemed they gave all the parking time the boating folks
I usually do all of my lake fishing with bait during the colder months when the crowds aren't bad. Probably going to search out some better spots around Lake Tahoe when the weather turns cold again. Although I've fished all around the area over the years, fishing in the giant lake is new to me. I've got a lot of exploring to do!
Big fan. Your scissors scare me when you hang them near your stomach like that (@ 5:00 min). Don't fall forward. I always try to hang them on the outside of my deltoids for safety. Keep up the fishing! Love seeing your passion!
Yeah, I get it. I don't worry about it much in that specific situation. In the rare chance I impale myself it will be a blunt penetration because they aren't scissors! Right on. Glad you enjoy the content.
Amani. Thanks for your videos! Glad you didn’t break you leg! I’m up in Tahoe with my son and want to try some trout fishing tomorrow morning. Any good recommendation? I was thinking of Prosser creek.
Prosser Creek res. is really easy to get to. The steep bank within a half mile or so of the dam has deep water and you don't have to cast out too far. I like to use 4 foot leaders in that deeper water. If you drive across the dam I found it easier to get to the water but it is far more shallow. The water is warming so the fish may be found deeper. It's a farther drive but Jackson Meadow Reservoir was a great experience for me. I found good deep water near the dam but we encountered a lot of snags. I recommend smaller slip sinkers or even small medium size shots if you have that problem. We also got nice rainbows right off the shore in Lake Tahoe just off the side of the 89 near Tahoe City. You need to cast far there so shorter leaders work best (2-3 foot). Also good for the shallower water. Good luck!
Wilderness with Amani. At Tahoe city, were you at hurricane bay? Not able to find a good open spot on google maps. Nsxdrives@gmail.com is my email. Thanks!
Bro, you did a twenty years something move when you went for that trout and fell in the water! LOL. Good to know short leader works. I am assuming that you inflate the crawler? Have a blessed weekend. 👍🙏🎣JU Hammah⚒
For a second, I thought I was going all in! At least my car was right there. I climb around on worse than that at remote alpine lakes and rivers. Add rattle snakes to the mix and look out! That's why I always leave a "where to find me" email with my brother if I turn up missing in remote areas! I was inflating the crawler and my leader was about 2 and half feet long. I was counting down 14 before my stuff hit the bottom so it was deeper than it was when we were fishing from shore across the lake off the 89. I mostly shortened my nightcrawler leader so I could cast farther but it all worked out for the better.
Wilderness with Amani Great idea to let someone know where to find you.... I worked for Cal dept of trans (caltrans) in my younger days. Some places up in the Sierra, no one will be able to find you for months. But it is God’s country. 👍🙏🎣⚒
The two places I've tried weren't the greatest. This spot was Ok but as you can see, the rocks can be tricky to walk on! I'm still looking for a deeper spot. I would say find a spot with at least 10 feet of water and give it a shot. This spot was fine for that. Check out my clips "rigging up for reservoir trout" and "my general strategy for deep water reservoir trout" to see how I rig up. My clip "Building a trout tackle box" details the stuff you will need to set up. You will probably need to go with shorter leader, 3' for powerbait and 2' for nightcrawlers, in order to cast farther unless you can find a spot with deep water close to shore. Stick with a small size 18 treble for powerbait and size 6-8 baitholder hook for nightcrawlers(depends on the size of worms.). You can probably get by with just powerbait but browns will hit the crawlers. Good luck.
What setup were you using if you dont mind me asking? I went there this evening and it was rough water and I just tried fishing on the bottom with about a 4 foot leader with powerbait and salmon eggs, I'll get one more chance to go tomorrow on my trip to make it count
If you look at my clip "My general strategy for deep water reservoir trout", you will see my basic set up. The change I made was trimming my leaders down to 3 feet to allow for farther casting and compensate for the shallower water in the spot we were in. For power bait, I use a tiny size 18 treble hook with just enough powerbait to conceal the hard hook. This seems to matter when looking for larger trout. I also trim my inflated crawler leader down to 2 and a half feet for better casting. If you are in a deeper spot, the one I was in was only about 10 feet, I'd make my leaders a little longer. Get out there early in the morning before lake activity picks up and you will have your best chance. By early I mean early morning twilight! Good luck and I hope you catch some fish! I have clips for several fishing destinations in that area on my channel so if you don't have time to hit some of them on this trip, maybe they will be in play next time! Thanks for tuning in.
That is my understanding. Either a Nevada or California license is good for fishing anywhere in Tahoe. That is what I read but I always encourage people to confirm official regulations for themselves. I am clearly not an official source of anything!
like I said before I think you're one lucky son-of-a-gun.I see this video is dated June.have you caught trout from shore on Lake Tahoe in the hot summer months?
I don't go near Lake Tahoe during the hot Summer Months! This was probably my last trip there until it got colder in the Fall. During the Summer, I am usually hiking up to higher altitude to fish in the backcountry. I fish reservoirs typically late Fall, Winter, and Spring and I only added Lake Tahoe to that schedule last Year. I Think I have 7 clips up for Lake Tahoe now and I caught fish 6 of the times. The first time I only got one little shaker! The reservoirs are going to be getting smoking hot in a few weeks or as soon as the snow and ice start clearing out. Go get some!
If you go to my fishing tips playlist, my clip 'rigging up for reservoir trout' will give you my general set up. Then, I go into the specific adjustments I make for Lake Tahoe in my most recent Lake Tahoe clip posted for Logan shoals vista point which can be found at the top of my 'lakes and reservoirs' playlist. I have several Lake Tahoe clips on that playlist if you are interested. Good luck.
So true! Over the decades I have fished in lakes and streams all around it but I figured you needed a boat, private dock access, or some kind of secret spot to get anything meaningful from shore. We got great fish right off the 89! It will take a while but I plan to scout out more viable fishing locations when it gets cold again. For now, I say try anywhere that's not trespassing!
Oh, that fish was landed! I was wet, but it worked out! Funny thing was I was just talking about how sketchy the rocks were moments before going down. I jinxed myself for sure!
My fishing tips playlist has a clip "rigging up for reservoir trout" which goes into detail about how I generally rig up for bait fishing for trout from shore. That will give you the general idea of what I am doing. I have several Lake Tahoe clips where I talk about the adjustments I make for Lake Tahoe.
yes. I paid $10 to park in my Cave Rock and Sand Harbor videos on my Lake Tahoe fishing playlist. All of the other spots I fish are free, there are just hikes or steep hills to deal with.
I try to get out to the shoreline early so it is still morning twilight. In the winter when it's 20 degrees out, I might roll out a little later. This time of year with the mass crowds, I like to be out of there by 10am.
I typically use inflated crawlers or a tiny ball of powerbait when I am shore fishing Tahoe. I have clips on my fishing tips playlist that detail my bait, hooks I use, set up, and adjustments I make to my reservoir bait fishing rig just for lake Tahoe. I also have a lake Tahoe shore fishing playlist if you haven't seen it and are interested.
It is my understanding that you can have either a California or Nevada License when fishing in Lake Tahoe because it's on the state border. I always recommend viewers check regulations for themselves. I am not an official source of anything!
Oof. That fall made my heart skip a beat for a second there glad you are okay

The first fish wasn't big but was able to pull you down. Be careful!. Don't break your legs.
That was just wet and wild. I've dealt with worst falls in remote areas!
I read this comment first and then saw the fall. Looks really hurt.
@@saillei1808 It was fine. My leg got soaked! That's about it. I was able to laugh it off.
You damn near gave me heart attack. Please be careful out there.
Tired, trying to concentrate on a fish, is a recipe for disaster! I made it! I cooked up those two fat ones for dinner. Pink meat, delicious!
Is it true you can fish both sides of the lake with a fishing license from CA?
