New Fly Fishing Odyssey
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 18 ก.ย. 2013
Hi! I started Fly Fishing in 2019 and it's become an obsession ever since. I fish from the sea to high country...which makes for some pretty spectacular locations. I'll try to document my journey and hopefully provide some inspiration to go fish!
I'm new to the video world but please check out my instagram to see some of my previous trips.

Hiking and Fishing a New Lake in Bishop Creek Canyon 2024
มุมมอง 1K21 วันที่ผ่านมา
Hi Everybody. Decided to explore a new lake up in the Bishop Creek Canyon. I had heard it contained fun sized brook trout, so I decided to check it out. Had pretty good action on my bamboo fly rod and tenkara rod. Really pretty area and decent weather. Would have been perfect if it was 10 degrees cooler haha.
South Fork Lakes fishing for Golden Trout 2024

If you've followed me for the last few years you know I like going up to the Cottonwood Lakes area to gear check for the season. Since Cottonwood Lakes 1-4 are closed to fishing until Sept, that leaves some of the surrounding lakes as the goto places. I haven't been up to these lakes in a few years and was pleasantly surprised. Got to use my new Nissin Zerosum 7:3 Tenkara rod as well.

Hi All, this is my first international fishing trip for 2024. I've been waiting for this trip for almost a year and it didn't disappoint. The primary target was Permit but there was plenty of action. The weather couldn't have been any better (other than it was super humid haha) but I can't complain. Amazing location, Kay Fly Lodge - Punta Allen, MX, and great people. Can't wait to go back.

Kennedy Meadows Golden Trout Fishing

Decided to try one more camping trip for 2023. I saw the weather was going to be warmer than usual so that was good enough for me. (Luckily I brought my winter gear though). Ended up catching a golden/hybrid in the south fork of the kern river. I had heard rumors of the DFG stocking them there and it ended up true! Pretty cool you can catch sizable Goldens without having to trek too far. Thanks...
Fall 2023 Little Lakes Valley: Fishing, Hiking, and Camping

Little Lakes Valley is located across from Crowley. What makes it special is you start out at elevation. So it doesn't take much effort to get to the "backcountry". There are A TON of lakes with fish up there as well. This trip, I decided to bring my tenkara and trout spey rod...so lots of action and scenery.

Hi Everybody! Another backpacking trip canceled due to unusually cold temps and snow. Not to waste a planned trip, decided to head up to the June Lake Loop to fish. I had been there a few times for fall leaves but this was the first time fishing. Pretty area and lots of different fishing spots. Thanks for watching and subscribe for my future trips!

Fishing and Camping the Saddlebag Lake Area

Can’t believe it’s September and this is only my 2nd backpacking trip. The twenty lakes basin has been in my radar for awhile and finally decided to make the drive. Just my luck, the temps dropped 15 degrees and wind gusts were up to 55 mph when I decided to go. Still an amazing area and some pretty nice brook trout, by my standards were caught!
First Golden Trout fishing trip of 2023
มุมมอง 42211 หลายเดือนก่อน
I've mentioned before there was a record amount of snow that fell last winter. Which pretty much meant snow was still on the ground well into August. That isn't really a huge deal given the level of backpacking I do...but I also didn't want to do with sketchy creek crossings. One of my favorite meadows to visit was finally snow free. It also makes for a great warmup trip since it's a short flat...
Lake Sabrina and Bishop Creek Fishing 2023

Hi Everybody. This was my yearly trip to Parchers Resort. What made this trip different was it was right in the middle of the runoff from the wettest winter in recent cali history. I thought I was safe booking July 8th, earlier in the year, but I think this runoff will last until the end of the month. Still, you could find decent fly action if you hit the lakes or some of the flatter parts of t...
Christmas Island 2023: Bonefish
มุมมอง 2.1Kปีที่แล้ว
This is the 4th and last part of my 2023 Christmas Island Trip. Bonefish are most likely the fish you will catch the most on the island. I was most likely spoiled by the fact the island was closed for 3 years before we arrived. The fish were not picky or spooky. I got away tossing 20lb leader with lead eye flies. It wasn't until the very last day they started acting more spooky. Hope you enjoye...

Nice video dude - what lodge did you fish out of?
Sunset Horizon through Christmas Island Outfitters
How active are the Apache trout in late July, and do monsoons affect them?
I'm not an expert but they should behave like all other high mountain trout. If the water temp goes too high that's usually the only thing. But unlikely up there. Monsoons won't do much other than mess with water clarity. More of a problem for you if you're caught in one.
What month were you there?
May
LIved in Southern Utah for 3.5 years and never fished once…😢😢😢
Wow missed one there. Can always go back to visit …
Any hints on where this lake is by? Ill be up there this weekend looks like a nice place to check out. Great video👍🏽
I walk by the sign in the video 😏
If anyone's feeling overwhelmed and stressed by life, spend time communing with nature in this environment for a few days, sans electronic devices, you'll feel reinvigorated
100%. No cell service is liberating.
Very good
Thank you
No idea how i came up here, but amazing video, amazing skills and what a wonderful view!
Haha thanks for watching!
Wonderful trip.
Thanks for watching
Nice!!! I always wanted to go there. How long is the hike to there from the parking lot?
Depends on your hiking uphill at 10000 ft speed haha. But it’s about 4.5-5 miles with about 1000 ft elevation I think
@@newflyfishingodyssey thanks it looks like i can do the hike within a day if i go real early
Just found your channel today
Welcome!
You did great nice work and video
Thanks
They get picky when they've been caught a bunch of times
Was up here Memorial Day weekend all the lakes were completely frozen still. Looks like you crushed it!
It was fun! Still kind of funny hearing normal conditions given all the recent drought years or the crazy snow year last year.
does the pass that connects to big meadow take you down kennedy?
Not too familiar with all the roads between kernville and Kennedy. But if you're talking about Sherman pass, then yes it goes directly to it.
Nice video. Heading up Monday. What was that fishing spot at the end? Looks peaceful
You can fish most parts of bishop canyon. It's just one of the pull offs. So if you see cars, you can prob fish it.
Ya ok golden trout boy
Take the gloves off when handling the fish. THey remove the protective slime coat from the fish
Nice video. Were you throwing dries or nymphs? What’s your favorite flies for Goldens?
This lake is kind of pressured so I tried everything, dried, nymphs, streamers. I usually just use a hopper dropper setup during the summer though
Awesome country up there
It really is. Too bad the season isn't longer
buzzer beater!
Sure felt like it haha
Looked like a fun trip!!! Lots of variety…multiple tarpon shots…multiple permit shots. Hmmm, the line tender guide seemed to be glued to your hip?
Yeah they were pretty much up there full time spotting. I didn’t mind since I can’t see fish very well haha
Awesome! What fly were you using?
Not sure what they’re called. But they look like red wooly buggers with rubber legs.
Please don’t drag the fish along the ground, especially golden.
Yes I definitely try not to. Accidents do happen though.
Nice!
Thanks!
Is this the Kennedy Meadows campground at the end of Windy Springs Road ?? The trail you hiked to the river, is this the Pacific Trail trailhead that runs thru the campground??? Motocamped (motorcycle) a few years ago on July 4th weekend. Amazing, barely 1/4-1/3 campsites in use whereas Fish Creek and Troy Meadows were full to capacity with the rowdy off-road crowd. To my knowledge the creeks were mostly dried up due to the long drought. Nice video, tight lines!!
Yes it is! I just fished Troy last week and the flows were good. Just have to go early in the season. Good luck
Awesome!
Thanks!
Loved the fall hahaha
Sadly that wasn’t even the first time I fell on video.
why do you have a reel? Tenkara.
I do sometimes these days
So funny watching this. Makes it look like it's pretty easy, but for every 1 you catch, there's at least 15 that get spooked, you miss, break off, or go in a hole. LOL
Haha 100% correct
Love it!!!
Thanks!
I enjoyed the video. The drive in looked pretty cool too. I was reading about Kennedy Meadows and learned there are three access roads. Can you tell me which one of those you took?
Coming from the 395 is the easiest. Going up from kernville is prob more scenic but it’s more of a mountain drive. So I prob would wait for summer going that way.
is this fish creek and do they count as natives ??
I think it does but prob best to check with whatever challenge you’re doing.
Do you think there are bigger brook trout in Little Lakes Valley or Bishop Pass area?
Long Lake in bishop pass prob has slightly bigger ones. But I don’t think any of the lakes in those areas are known trophy brookie lakes. Maybe one of those labeled fish less in little lakes could have some holdover that has no competition.
nice video bud, what switch rod do you have? I was thinking of getting one for the backcountry gold this year.
The one I used here was an opst 9ft 9in 3wt. I bought it for backpacking so it needed to be around 10ft and a 3wt. Surprisingly that isn’t a super common combination. I tried taking an 11ft 4wt up before and it was a little too bulky.
@@newflyfishingodyssey yeah from the research that ive done, it seems you double the weight of the rod to the pound fish you plan on catching....so a 2 wt=4lb fish, 3=6lb fish and so on. I know im not lucky enough to catch a golden any bigger than 6 so a 3wt would be perfect... thanks for the response, a bit too much for a b/c rod for me tho...Ill probably end up with the echo sr...thanks for the response bud. Good luck this good season
what happens when you break your leader off, do you retry a new leader on thewelded loop? and also is it ok to use floating line for lake fishing?
Usually they don’t break the whole leader. So you just tie one more tippet to make up the lost length. Lake fishing really depends on how deep they are feeding. If you see a lot of surface feeding or cruisers, floating line is fine. You can fish deeper by getting a sinking tip that attaches to your loop. If the water is pretty clear you can actually get them to come up from deeper than you expect.
Might want to change last bit of title to casting and hiking. #joke
Ha you aren’t wrong.
When come back, you need to try out Huntington creek.
I really need to get back to Utah again. I’ll definitely check it out. Thanks!
The bones are fun but the trevally are what really makes the place.
Agreed. If I go back will definitely make an effort to target them more
Cottonwood Creek at Horseshoe Meadow ??
Great action, what a beautiful place! What was the size and color fly that worked for the bonefish. Thank you
Thanks. Size 6 orange was the best combo back then.
And, what fly line are you using? Looks like a fast sink line. Great video, as always!
Cortland 7ips sink tip. I think it was 255 grain. Thanks!
That small water looks great! Was that a subspecies of golden trout?
They’re a golden rainbow hybrid. But beautiful still.
@@newflyfishingodyssey very beautiful! I like the darker color and spotting
Nice fish Z!
Should have been mine!!
Never been to Kennedy meadows I’m not new to the sierras but I am new to fly fishing. I met a pilot at my airport that flew in fro Kennedy meadows and he told me about it. Can’t wait to explore one day and fishnsoon
There’s actually two Kennedy Meadows. This one is the south one. Good luck!
Great video dude, really enjoyed it. Keep makin videos
Thanks for watching!
In 1987 I spent a summer fishing various lakes that were in canyons that were pretty rough to walk into in that region. Caught my first and only grayling at 1 of them. And came face to face with a bull elk on the trail down to the lake. We both jumped and ran in opposite directions.
Well done video! That was an awesome day for the spots you were in! Great day! Good fish!!!
Great video, what part of the river were you fishing?
