Great video Matt, I don’t think people really understand what goes on behind the scenes as a videographer. The angles, different shots, continuity, etc…Just know it’s always appreciated when I watch your videos 🙌🏾
I used to hike out to these alpine lakes in the sierras for years! love going off the trails and going to these little lakes. and yes crickets/grasshoppers are ALWAYS the best bait
I was going to text him the same technique. Walking thru some of those mountain meadows when they are active and swishing the net back and forth and having enough bait for a week. Good times. That was a long sentence. I'm sure the wifey is going to bonk me on the head.😂😂😂❤
I have a pile of dishes in the sink 3 ft tall. I keep walking past it. I just finished the video. I'm going to go work on my dishes now because of your comment.
Hi Matt Very informative videos & you are living the LIFE with your great videos. My “only recommendation”is rather than reaching into the rock caverns & crevices that you might have a bad rattlesnake without any issues to the snake’s actual length but have you in a safe spot rather than SOL!!!
LMAO. Tells the fish “calm down” .. I just want to eat you. 🤣🤣. Another great video and thank you for what you do and sharing. Really made my day with a few chuckles a long the way.
River fishing is the way to go if you dont have a boat. I can walk 20ft and theres a different hole i can fish. High elevation rivers are even better since they take a good hike to get to most of them. Been a long time lurker of this channel but hearing you like and have more knowledge on river fishing got me to subsribe finally. Keep up the awesome content my friend 🤙
Watching this video Matts brought back so much memories of when I was stationed in Germany. I fished a lot creek, stream, and rivers catching brown trout, rainbow trout, and brook trout all native no stocked. I joined the local Rod & Gun club and entered some fishing tournament. Made alot of great friends anyways stay safe out there and have a blessed day. Aloha from Kansas
I love river fishing, it’s FAR better than lake fishing in my opinion unless you’ve got a boat and LOTS of time. The thrill of casting into the tail of a waterfall and feeling that rod shake, or the even better SLAM! of he rod pulling down is just AWESOME!! And with the river you really don’t know what’s going to be on the end of your hook. Might be a rainbow, a brook trout, or a brown, but it’s gonna be good lol.
I LOVE your fresh water videos. The views are so beautiful! This last week my brother took my son out fishing on Bucks Lake (farther up nor Cal) and they caught the most delicious Kokanee there. Smoked them up on the Traeger...so dang good!
i watch a lot of your vids and have to say... I noticed that you catching even a small river trout gets you more excited than a big ol' ocean fish. I'm exclusively a trout, fly guy. Not by choice but but obsession so I relate.
Love the content. I'm not sure when this was filmed, but it looks recent. Might wanna check the california fire restrictions. Charcoal fires are restricted. Don't mean to be a downer, but it sucks seeing our forests and communities being burned.
4:00 its not easy to catch anything at mid day on such calm water, no shame there. but always fun to try. 5:45 Looks fishy to me!! 13:50 feels like I'm there fishing with you, your comments are exactly what we all think when we are fishing!
cricket or grasshoppers, always best to hook it on the back from one side to the other side so legs can still move. Been trout fishing for almost 7 years and hoppers are the best when it comes to trout fishing. Trout can’t resist them.
in ohio we have them as well. called a hornyhead chub or sucker (Nocomis biguttatus) due to the multiple bumps on the top of their head. fun to catch on light tackle but i've never caught very big ones. suppose to be excellent catfish bait
Great video Matt , I have a recommend lure for you to try it’s called “Jake’s spin a lure” so far when I have used it I have caught my limit(5) in Mount Shasta the fish go crazy over gold,silver, and black One
The first fish you catch is called Himalayan trout(Schizothorax richardsonii ) in our local language it’s called “Asala” fish which is found in South Asia Himalayan cold water temperature average (8-22 d ce) This fish is really delicious to eat if you cook it with right ingredients 👌
Wow, an open charcoal fire in a fire prone drainage with thousands of homes, people, wildlife, historical sites and the watershed itself above it. Almost this exact month and Date in 2013, the Darby fire was started within 100’ of that charcoal fire. Thousands of acres burned. 2 ancient Mi Wuk round houses burned, the watershed was nuked all because someone had a fire in that exact same spot.
@@OffBrandGolf you are correct. Can’t even blame my mistake on a typo. Sad part is, I have reached out to Matt about the use of fire before. The day before his video dropped a fire started by the plant. Thankfully it started early or we would still be watching it. I try not to give specifics of the area, don’t want it to be destroyed like other spots in our area.
Good way to tell if a rainbow trout is stocked or native is on stocked trout the adipose fins will be worn down straight on the tips of the fin the native trout will have the round tips still. The concrete in the hatcheries ware them down flat
Hey Matt. I dont know if you will see this. I met you at your block party to talk about that river where you caught your PB trout. I also recognize this location... the creek only runs for maybe 3 months of the year and even then the fish are tiny (like 6 inch brookies max). The lakes however - some are fantastic, I caught 100 fish in a day though it is hit or miss depending on the lake - I could recommended some good ones.
Back when i fished. I used #6 hooks. in our lakes(summer) ice fishing we dropped down on size. One day we maxed out on 75 bluegills. My dad filleted all night😂😂
Man up Matt, you're makin us guys look bad!!! Lol. Just cup you're hand, trap them, and then manipulate them into your fingertips!! Crickets don't bite at all but Grasshoppers will surely try. They might freak you out a little at first but i have complete confidence that you will get used to it. Great video, as usual, keep em comin......
Great video Matt and always can’t wait till you posted a new one. Quick question for you, what year is your Toyota Highlander? It seems like a perfect vehicle for what you do and what I like to do also and solo trips.
8:00 that's a Sacramento Pikeminnow. Technically native to California but have become locally invasive in a lot of California rivers and streams where they previously were not known to live in. They're super bad for trout and salmon populations and are voracious predators which eat salmon/trout eggs and fry.
Great video Matt, I don’t think people really understand what goes on behind the scenes as a videographer. The angles, different shots, continuity, etc…Just know it’s always appreciated when I watch your videos 🙌🏾
I think that is the reason he post one video a month is from All those editing😂
Need to obey the law, bro. The catch and cook isn't worth a forest fire.
I used to hike out to these alpine lakes in the sierras for years! love going off the trails and going to these little lakes. and yes crickets/grasshoppers are ALWAYS the best bait
Matt my friend, a small butterfly net will get you all the grasshoppers, crickets and other desirable creepy crawlies you'll ever need. 😊
Great tip and thank you!
I was going to text him the same technique. Walking thru some of those mountain meadows when they are active and swishing the net back and forth and having enough bait for a week. Good times. That was a long sentence. I'm sure the wifey is going to bonk me on the head.😂😂😂❤
he could just use his fishing net, and these are grasshoppers not crickets
I was just about to do the dishes looking for something to watch at the same time and this popped up!
Facts bro I'm cleaning the kitchen watching 😂
I have a pile of dishes in the sink 3 ft tall. I keep walking past it.
I just finished the video.
I'm going to go work on my dishes now because of your comment.

Good Mornin, have a good Saturday everyone.
Grasshoppers have been my favorite trout bait since I was a little kid
Just watching this video with my coffee this morning great video Matt
Fun adventure. Haven't seen one of your videos in a long time. You're really good with the camera.
I'm glad none of those rocks exploded on you.
Your Crickets look suspiciously like Grasshoppers to me.. 😉
🤭
Shhh! Don’t tell him.🤫😂
Obviously missed the insect class.
Grasshopper not cricket exactly
He know exactly what he is doing. He doesn’t want anyone to know the secret is grasshoppers and say it’s cricket so you use the wrong bait 😂
LMAO. Tells the fish “calm down” .. I just want to eat you. 🤣🤣. Another great video and thank you for what you do and sharing. Really made my day with a few chuckles a long the way.
He keeps doing that whenever the fish is doing cha cha dance 😂

Great job. Fished a lot here in the Adirondacks for 45 years. Love your videos!
these catch and cooks are the best
Me and my grandpa would catch crickets and grasshoppers all the time and trout, good memories great video
It must feel like heaven living there like a king!
A was up good morning enjoy your fishing I been following you for about 4 years really enjoy the videos.
Do more ocean vids, they are awesom!

You sure have been lucky.Put in your hands in places and walking around like there was not a worry in the world.Good luck
Oh man....im so relieved that u actually brought a fork with u this time!
Man thats such a beautiful spot to chill out and fish
I LOVE your fresh water videos. The views are so beautiful! This last week my brother took my son out fishing on Bucks Lake (farther up nor Cal) and they caught the most delicious Kokanee there. Smoked them up on the Traeger...so dang good!
I needed this one. Thank you Matt.
Buddy one of these days you're going to have the video of a lifetime you're in Sasquash country, nice catch 👍
Those lakes looked good for a trip in May! When I could still walk I would fish the Merced river. It was a short trip to get there.
Man... l still support the shows. But I started watching you years ago because I loved the ocean fishing catch and cook.
I thought you only bought fly pole. Now i see a spinner rod and reel. Beautiful scenery.peacefull video. Thanks
He said after the first day he was going back, probably went home and grabbed other gear
That's a pretty good size river rainbow. Gonna have to try crickets!
Great adventure, nice fishing and catching. Yummy.
love this man thank you for still inspiring
Really good lesson with description
Always enjoying ur videos. Keep it up brother 💪🔥👌
Need more of the catch n cook trout videos!!
i watch a lot of your vids and have to say... I noticed that you catching even a small river trout gets you more excited than a big ol' ocean fish. I'm exclusively a trout, fly guy. Not by choice but but obsession so I relate.
Going to try the new bait as well
Might check for sucker species in that creek but might be a pike minnow.
i'm still rockin' my fisherman's life hat to rep! keep up the bangers!
Love your vlogs bro makes me want to go fishing now !!!
Gotta have that cado! 🥑🥑🥑 thanks Matts!
Grasshoppers in Sierra creeks are magic bait for browns
perfect timing to watch on my break :))
Real fun video, think I would have went for two Trout but, very nice catch & cook 👍
Nice catch 🎣
Love the trout videos!
About to try my pack rod out for the first time this weekend. Going to a jetty for rockfish and the hopeful li g. 😊
Def going to be camping there in November
Love the content. I'm not sure when this was filmed, but it looks recent. Might wanna check the california fire restrictions. Charcoal fires are restricted. Don't mean to be a downer, but it sucks seeing our forests and communities being burned.
Woo any day Matts posts is gonna be a good day!
Mantab sekali ini trip nya....mancing dan masak ikan....
Awesome video man. The best way I found to get grasshoppers is swatting them with my hat
Thanks brother... i love your content
6:20 Someone's come to watch you ;) Great Video's
14:08 these are some of the Best moments of fishing 🎣 😊

Hey Matt, Trout for Dindin🎉Enjoy!
JO JO IN VT 💞
Orange juice adds a nice flavor too
That's a sacramento sucker fish. I caught one 3 times that size, in kern river area.
in ohio we have them as well. called a hornyhead chub or sucker (Nocomis biguttatus) due to the multiple bumps on the top of their head. fun to catch on light tackle but i've never caught very big ones. suppose to be excellent catfish bait

Great video
Matts, look into getting a Gransfors Brux axe. Far lighter than what you are carrying and scary sharp and easy to keep that way.
Would love to see you do some landlock striper fishing. New Hogan Lake & San Luis Reservoir isn't too far from u.
Damn nice catch!
Maybe catch the grasshoppers with your net, just an idea
The first fish you catch is called Himalayan trout(Schizothorax richardsonii ) in our local language it’s called “Asala” fish which is found in South Asia Himalayan cold water temperature average (8-22 d ce)
This fish is really delicious to eat if you cook it with right ingredients 👌
Like old times avocado and fish 🤙
shoot ima try drifting live crickets now! thanks matts!!

Duuude. I know what part of the river he was on here and I thought the exact same thing. But the Darby fire was 2001.

Just for future reference Matt, river rocks can explode when you add them to fire

Great video Matt. Fishing in the beautiful mountains is on my todo list!
Gettin ready to eat my pizza but saw the homie posted. Perfect timing 😎
Ahh now this is why the kid subscribed
Be cool to see you do some handline fishing sometime.i keep my kbar handheld in my tacklebox just in case my pole breaks
Love your mountain fishing videos. Barbless hooks? Would that explain why you weren't hauling them in?
a grasshopper hooked through the abdomen is the best trout bait, works well for just about any freshwater fish actually.
The trick is...being less scared of the cricket then the cricket is of you.
Great video Matt and always can’t wait till you posted a new one.
Quick question for you, what year is your Toyota Highlander? It seems like a perfect vehicle for what you do and what I like to do also and solo trips.
i seem to remember this place...
I remember my first time fishing.
That first fish is a northern pikeminnow. They can get upwards of 15lbs.
Looks a lot like a popular swimming area by lake spaulding. Cant be there though because there arent 200 ppl swimming haha
I grab a handful of sand & throw it at the crickets it keeps them alive for bait just stuns them enough to put them on hook.
Cool old REI pack
Bro you ever want to come up to Ontario for Musky fishing, open door policy up these ways. Cheers
Hey man come up to Burney California great hikes up here by the pit river and the lakes around here aren’t stocked except lake Britton
8:20 that kinda looked like a pike minnow
"jumping around heh!?" Lol
Matt try Mosquito lake. We limit out there 3 days in a row.
Where’s the butter!! Love the vids
Love the videos are the straw hats on the shop coming back??
I have a suggestion. How about Collab with the "Outdoor Boys" It will be a great video.
8:00 that's a Sacramento Pikeminnow. Technically native to California but have become locally invasive in a lot of California rivers and streams where they previously were not known to live in.
