I fish the Upper Owens River for the first time this year #owensriver #upperowensriver #fishingowensriver #owensriverbrowntrout #easternsierra #easternsierrafishing
My family and friends went to Bridgeport every opening for about 24 years. We were coming from Stockton, so I was nearly always taking 88 to Markleeville & traveling south from there. But in all that time I never ventured further south than Virginia Lakes. Your videos showing all these areas down to Bishop and beyond are like a siren call I can't hardly ignore. I want to save up a little cash and spend a couple months exploring these places...haha...and it's all your fault! Thank you for another great video.
@@mtyhntr49 Sounds like a great way to grow up! My father used to work for a general contractor who would build logging roads in the Sierras. At 9 until about 14 every summer my father would take me with him for 2 or 3 weeks at a time 30 miles off the nearest highway crossing small streams that had zero fishing pressure. I don't remember my dad ever playing catch with me but we went trout fishing a thousand times together and I wouldn't change any of it!
That long-handled net is the ticket for those high banks. You’re the only fisherman I’ve seen use one. Looks like a useful item though! I used to love fly fishing the Owens. Nothing to interfere with the backcast! And loads of fish!
I need that thing in a lot of places. I don't want to hoist fish into a dry net. It also shortens the fight with larger trout which is good for them and my nerves!
@wildernesswithamani1027 that's the best time when it starts getting cold up there... throughout the whole winter I catch a beautiful Browns through there
There are full on dust devils whirling out there! I love fishing the Owens because I'm not having to climb over giant boulders and break through heavy brush to fish 20 yards of stream!
Beautiful brown dude, unlike most bass guys on here that boat flip fish on a hot deck ..absolutely no respect for the fish..and yes, fly guys use bobbers, or corks , doesnt matter what its made of, but like saying "indicator"..lolcongrats
Hey Amani, love the videos. I'm heading out to Tahoe this weekend and planning on fishing Spooner lake. We will be bringing our float tube's with us. Any ideas on jig types. Thanks
Hey, there are monster browns directly east of the town of Bishop out in the canal/river running through the alphalfa fields. Used to see them sunning on the top in Sept while i was doing the dove hunt opener. Love your channel brother. Much respect for you. Dan in central utah...
Right on. Yeah I fished one canal for a minute and got a few browns but nothing big. I usually fish the lower Owens when I'm down there. I have a few of those clips on my river fishing playlist if you haven't seen them and are interested. Glad to know people are enjoying my content in Utah.
It's often a grind to find that nice trout but out on the Owens it's a lot easier to get around than on most rivers I fish on my river fishing playlist.
Another awesome video? A few questions. How big was that at brownie, about 24"? Just curious if spinners would work here? Is there anywhere to disperse camp near the Upper Owens? Thanks, can't wait for the next video!
I think dispersed camping is allowed all over in that Benton Crossing road area but you would need to confirm that. I figured that brown to be near or over 20" but at the very least it was close to it.
Who knows. It might be because I work a lot, drive a lot, hike a lot, fish a lot, and exercise a lot but it's something that usually kicks in when I am tired when I start driving or it's the tail end hours of a long drive. I think it's just fatigue. I typically leave my house around 4am-5am for long trips.
So easy to fish out there because you aren't climbing over boulders and not breaking through brush. Shadow on the water can be a serious issue though when the sun is behind you!
Bro, I just saw your PayPal donation. Thank you so much. That's a full tank of gas if I get it In Carson or Gardnerville. You are an OG viewer for sure.
Rick here. Nice video as usual. Have you ever fished lower Pine Creek? Or lower Rock Ck where it comes out of the canyon? Wait until it cools down. Fewer snakes!
I was there in June. Had no luck. Were you getting most catches above browns campground? Above the bridge? Can't wait for videos of stream fishing in mountains above Bishop!
I got this action upstream from Browns but I do pretty good in the section between Browns and the Lake. I typically fish that later in the Fall when the campground is closed. I have at least one video where I am fishing in browns campground after it's closed. The fishing isn't bad in there.
I have a video on my fishing tips playlist where I go over all of the jigs I have had success with in rivers since I started using them a few years back.
Yes, it wasn't great when I went. I might try it again. I have a couple of clips for it on my river fishing playlist but, to be honest, I really haven't given it a solid chance.
I always use 6lb trilene xl mono. I didn't need to here but on wider rivers I can whip my jigs really far on my 5' ultra light rod with that stuff. I just change my line often because I like a full spool and fresh line. I put a beating on my line with all of the fishing I do.
Right on. greetings to you in Mexico! Glad you are tuning in. I have hundreds of videos across my channel playlists if you haven't discovered them and are interested.

Our family fished the june lake loop since the 1960's. Used to camp right on rush creek. Great memories there.

@@Marta_Lledo_Video_Channel Thats awesome.
You have to go! Don't ignore the siren call!
Love the Upper Owens. Been awhile since I've fished there. Nice Brown.
I love it too. I want to go back later this Fall when it cools down and the crowds thin out.

Nice....that's nice catchin through there.
I hit those areas up .good times !!!!
Right on. I plan tpo hit it a couple of times once it gets colder.

@@wildernesswithamani1027 you're awesome brother
Amani, you’re in my neck of the woods. That white chalky stuff on the ground is terrible when it’s windy. Love the content..

Thanks for the video. The upper Owens is my favorite place to fish. I haven't been there in a couple of years. Good fish.
It's easy to walk around out there which is nice.
Spinner bait! LOL!
marabou jig
You are a Sportsman, that was a beautiful Brown but all the action you had, How Fun
Yeah, real fun time out there.
Beautiful brown dude, unlike most bass guys on here that boat flip fish on a hot deck ..absolutely no respect for the fish..and yes, fly guys use bobbers, or corks , doesnt matter what its made of, but like saying "indicator"..lolcongrats
Right on. I always have fun out there.

Hi, I am in utah . My preference is the cast masters and definitely the gold with spots jakes lure for trout here in our lakes.
i fish that area get some Thomas Buoyant spoons in the gold Brook Trout Color the Sierra Trout Love them they think they are small Brook Trout.
Check out my fishing tips playlist. Those 2 types I have on there are my two main choices for rivers and alpine lakes.
Awesome! Great Job and good on you for taking care of the fish!
Right on. Got to make sure that trout is in there for rounds two and three!

Very, very nice catches. You showed they don't come easy; you worked for them. Nice video.

Bro Amani you gotta be catching more trout than anybody else along the Sierras
I fish a lot! When you consider that I have shot the hundreds of clips on my fishing playlists in about 5 years the math is easy to do!
Trophy trout fishing!
That brown was battling.
Doozy behind the wheel could be sleep apnea brotha.

Awesome fish, your relentless & your patience pays off. I want to get to that stretch of water one of these days.

That was awesome!
What new line are you running?
Is that your ugly stick?
How heavy are your hugs?
I fish 6lb Trilene xl clear mono. I typically use my 5' ultralight Ugly Stik. Jig choices are on my fishing tips playlist.
The new doo looks great sir!
real simple and not so hot!
Beautiful Brown - you are a grinder - woke up at 3am to start your 36 hour adventure let’s go!! - catch you later👊🎣👍
Bro, I just saw your PayPal donation. Thank you so much. That's a full tank of gas if I get it In Carson or Gardnerville. You are an OG viewer for sure.
Are you using wooly booger or marabou jigs? What weight are you using? It seems like you always use the same jigs with your spinners.
Awesome video!
!/8oz marabou jigs. Details can be found on my fishing tips playlist.
What a beautiful brown that was. Your not the only one that has gotten stuck in a mud bog.
I was close to losing a boot!
Are you close to Bridgeport. 😎
About an hour south of bport.
Close to mammoth. Benton crossing road.
Rick here. Nice video as usual. Have you ever fished lower Pine Creek? Or lower Rock Ck where it comes out of the canyon? Wait until it cools down. Fewer snakes!
I haven't fished those. Actually, Rock creek I have. I am always for fewer snakes!
I was there in June. Had no luck. Were you getting most catches above browns campground? Above the bridge? Can't wait for videos of stream fishing in mountains above Bishop!

Great videos! What brand and weight jigs do you prefer?
I have a video on my fishing tips playlist where I go over all of the jigs I have had success with in rivers since I started using them a few years back.
FRESH HAIRCUT YEAAH BUDDY
shaved it off! Too hot hiking with a hat full of hair. I'm really loving the simplicity of it so this might last a while.
Good stuff, ever tried yuba river?
Yes, it wasn't great when I went. I might try it again. I have a couple of clips for it on my river fishing playlist but, to be honest, I really haven't given it a solid chance.
Nice Brown! What line did you change out to?
I always use 6lb trilene xl mono. I didn't need to here but on wider rivers I can whip my jigs really far on my 5' ultra light rod with that stuff. I just change my line often because I like a full spool and fresh line. I put a beating on my line with all of the fishing I do.
Very nice catches. I'm seein your videos down here un Oaxaca México. By the way i justo opend My Chanel
Right on. greetings to you in Mexico! Glad you are tuning in. I have hundreds of videos across my channel playlists if you haven't discovered them and are interested.
I've seen videos of that river, I could fish a river like that for miles
I was ready to until I got cut off by that mud! I get what you are saying. I'm the same way.
