Gold Fever-Fly-Fishing California's Gold Country

- Gold Fever is when you get the taste of gold and you will stop at nothing to get more! Jobs, relationships, obligations are disregarded. The only thing you can think about is another nugget. In this case those nuggets are huge wild brown trout from the heart of the Mother Lode in the Sierra Foothills of California.
For the past 6 years a group of friends have banned together to unlock the secrets of a hidden fishery. Tucked deep in a remote canyon this ribbon of crystal clear water holds a robust population of wild Rainbows and a few Trophy Browns that have seldom seen a hook. The only way to access this stretch of river is by boat, but you have to run some serious white water to do it. Guarded by a class 4+ rapid at the top of the run and a class 5+ waterfall at the bottom, with multiple class 3 and 4 rapids in- between, only the most committed boaters dare enter. Few have the combination of skills to run the rapids and chuck big streamers. Gold Fever will take the viewers on a wild ride through this world-class white water and rugged canyon and show what it takes to get into the zone. The risks are real but the payoffs are big!
Gold Fever is an official selection of the International Fly Fishing Film Festival(IF4). flyfilmfest.com
Grady is one of the finest guides available on this river, don't pass up an opportunity to fish with him !
Guides? Been fishing the North fork, middle and south fork of the American river for 40 years climbed down to every little fishing hole great fun. The family Fly fished the North, middle and south fork of the Yuba since the 1860's. My father went to placer high in Auburn California the 1950's shot down the tunnel on the middle fork of the American with two friends in a regular little fishing boat and one of them did not make it. My grandfather mainly fished the North fork of the Yuba river mainly because he was born on that river and occasionally guided professional baseball players down the middle fork of the Yuba river down a path called the Lilliput trail. Monster browns were in the middle fork but it is a rough hike! My grandfather would turn over in his grave if any of us ever used a guide to fish these rivers!
I can't wait to fish with u guys
Enjoyed the film. Running over ta Bass Pro to get some bigass streamers. Taking the kids up there tomorrow.
grady is one cool dude.taught me so much about fly fishing in my short time staying near him.dudes a legend
So special brother lv it
you guys are craaaazy!
Been looking at the topographic maps to hike in for 40 years. Haven't done it. Old man now. 2000 feet is a bit much.Great Video. Magnificent brown trout.
Hey old man lol if you ever think about that hike in you get a hold of me asap.im a very level headed mtn goat been chasing stripers in Pacifica on the rocks and swimming to places for years not many would go.Turnin 50 this year so im still a mid timer but I still have the stamina and the gumption
This is extreme fly fishing at it's finest. For those who hate on California , check this video out .
Ben is the MAN!! Row you down class V and cook you the best meal! Rise up!! Congratulations on the baby Monica!
Awesome! thanks for sharing.
Same guy ran both boats through the final rapid! Badass!
In addition to browns there's big rainbows. My pb was a 5lb rainbow near oxbow. Watch out for private property and bears! Also there's these tiny flies that try to go in your eyes.
Grady guided my brother,dad and I down the south fork we had a great time !
sick sick sick video! Hard work traveling to places where no one goes is what yields big results!
One of the best youtube videos Ive seen. Amazing stuff!
Second this
10 miles from our house! Super nice vid...... AAAA+
Nice work Grady! excellent
Stud rowing on the sticks! You guys are legit! I’ve been rowing driftboats and air pumas since I was a boy, not much I wouldn’t float but Rucka looks fucking hairy! Making upper Sol Duc, Upper Skykomish, and upper Elwah look like a cake walk. Much respect and great video. My brother and I have been seriously thinking about running that drift, you’ve inspired me.
Looks amazing👍
Great video, great story!
That was awesome yea mike yea sierras

Big Browns, Healthy River!

yeah the Middle Fork of the American is remote and rugged and has great fish but chill with the hero drama crap. it's just a day on the River.
I think we will hike in 😝
No trails to hike in on.
@@highwaterfishing4706 I'll take my chopper and land on those big gravel flats. Thats what we do in B.C.
@@Frankov81 ya if you’re rich lol
Awesome trip! Congrats gents...Where are we going next? : -)
the send is real
Ride the tiger!!
That water is way too big for my tastes. I prefer the Mammoth/June Lake area. I always waited at least a month after opening day and the pressure never hindered MY productivity in the slightest. Never got the Owens figured out. Even tried bait in desperation at one point. In my teens I caught a couple of stockers below the damn on the Kern, using some type of bait or another, but other than that one time, skunk city. I do fine on it's feeder creeks and streams, and up into the wilderness area, but nothing on the Kern itself...Either fork LoL.
mmm fly fishing and techno dj music ..wtf?? perfect combination HAHAHAHAH NOT!!! .. was this a music video?
My folks have a cabin in the Sierra Foothills, I'm kinda interested on where this is at. That and if it's anywhere near our cabin. The Feather river is pretty much in the back yard. I showed this video to my Pops which is a huge Fly Fisherman. Let me know where this is at!
Jackson Cohen - It's the middle fork of the American.
you folks would have been good in nam
👍👍
Can u still fish it or did dfg close it now?
Where is this river?
Where is this???
what is the music?
Blackmill th-cam.com/video/ElPqn8DdUOE/w-d-xo.html
Kill the freaking music!
Why are the fish so skinny ? They look really unhealthy
River fish are shaped like torpedoes because of the current they live in
Trust me those fish get plenty to eat I usually catch and release but every trout I have kept from that river their stomachs were bursting with food mostly midge and mayfly larvae with some stonefly larvae and some terrestrials like grasshoppers,wasps lady bugs and one time a stink bug I guess trout don't care.
nice
