- 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.
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.
Ya ok golden trout boy
They get picky when they've been caught a bunch of times
Awesome country up there
It really is. Too bad the season isn't longer
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
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
Take the gloves off when handling the fish. THey remove the protective slime coat from the fish
