- What an amazing day social distancing out on the American River. I'm still somewhat new to fly fishing, but I hope you enjoy this video of me catching some sweet trout with some nymphs. Please stay safe during this time of craziness, if you do go fishing, find an isolated location and don't approach anyone! 😔

Hi Pete! I've been a pro photographer/videographer and Photography professor in Sac area for 40 years and I'd just like to say that your editing is great. Slo mo, different cuts, B-roll, wide, medium and close shots, smooth transitions and more. Makes it very pleasant to watch. I'm a fly fisher as well (mostly small water in the high Sierrs) and have been considering catch and release for trout in the American but now you've inspired me to give it a try.
That's awesome man! I hope you have a good time out there and catch some nice fish, salmon season is coming in hot! 😎
East side of the Watt Avenue Bridge, I spend my childhood in that river and grew up about a mile or two from there.
Hey ...how was the fishing when you were a kid...I was in two rivers as a kid...one in So.Cal ( San Gabriel) and I'd spend my summers on the Feather...Green Bridge by the Hatchery...The Steelhead were 3 feet long in the 70s!
Sweet action on a fly rod in my backyard. 👍🙏🎣⚒
thanks man! this was actually my backyard for two years too. Lived right there in the River Blu apartments
This video is very entertaining . thank you
I know exactly where this is at! I go cycling up on that bike trail all the time. Awesome video. Thank you!
No problem, thanks for watching!
I think your video is better than fisherman's life cuz you share your viewers location for fishing 👍👌
Wow, thanks
Natural fishing is so beautiful thank you for sharing
Hey PC Pete... Great watching you have pure fishing fun! BTW that mystery fly was I Fox's Poopah... a great caddis pattern.
Thanks Jay!
@@PalmCirclePete PC Pete... Been watching a couple of your steelie vids. You do really well... Back in the day, we used to fish for shad at Sailor Bar from the north side. Can you still enter from the north side at a little park?
I've tried looking up that fly on Amazon but no luck. Can you post w link to where one can buy please ?
Laukna loba mang mantap pisan👍👍👍👍🔔
Love your channel man, I found it yesterday when I was looking for ppl who've fished out of an Intex kayak, and saw your King salmon catch which was dope. The editing and music effort you put into your videos is insane man keep it up
Dude thanks, I appreciate it!
AWESOME VIDEO :) I live about 15 minutes from here. I have yet to catch a trout in this river but I have caught a TON of shad :) KEEP IT UP :)
Thanks man! Good luck out there :)
Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks, will do!
Love the vid dude keep it goin!
Thanks!
Best fishing Video Sir
👍
Thanks!
Steady boss 'good luck always ensure
Thanks!
I saw the neighborhood when you started video and i lived right there for a few years 😂
Nice!
To stay out of trouble when fishing the American, check the regulations first. The lower American is an anadromous fishery. You need a Steelhead report card to fish it legally now. Cal DFW has the info on their website. I fished it when I lived there from' 62 to '90. Good luck!
Good advice!
Great video! Decided to pick up fly fishing and live pretty close to American River. Glad to see there's trout to be caught this time of year.
jjcj123 thanks! Yes sir, there are a lot of trout in there, let me know how it goes for you!
Fox's Caddis Poopah
John da Roza thank you!!
Amazing... 👍👍👍 Suksesss...
😎😎😎😎
good fishing bro👍
Thanks!
here right now...fly rod in hand for Jan 1 2020
Great video. Someone in nor cal. Thank you!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
It think thats a “Caddis deep sparkle pupa” fly from the fly shop.
If you don't me me asking, is this right under the Watt bridge?
Yes 😎. Thanks for watching
I caught what looked like a black char just under that bridge...I shoulda called fish and game.
how many are you allowed to bag per day? are you allowed to keep wild or only hatchery trout?
Do not keep wild fish!
2 hatchery steelhead or trout a day.
Nice video, Pete. You inspired me. Any idea if there's a place to camp free and fish up that way?
Thank you! Not too much camping along the American River in the Metro area...But if you follow it up into the sierras Emigrant Gap is a great spot. You can also check out the North fork of the North Fork of the American, apparently that is great.
Love the content man! As a fellow fly fisherman I love seeing quality videos of fishing posted on popular platforms like this.
I noticed you didn’t wet your hands for a number of the fish you caught. It’d be awesome to see you wet your hands before handling these fish.
Reason being: Trout are considered very sensitive fish and handling them with dry hands takes off the coat of slime around them. Ultimately it increases their chances dying to skin infections and vulnerable to abrasion. I’m sure you care about the trout population as much as any other fisherman, so make sure to dip your whole hand into the water if you plan to handle a trout.
With so many people watching, they’re going to mirror you, so emphasizing this would also be really good as well (ie. commenting on this practice while doing so to spread awareness).
Great video man! Keep posting!
Why do fly poles work so well for fly fishing? What about them makes it work?
Hello friend...
Your video's cool. keep it up
Friendship greetings
Always be successful
Let's be friends...
Thanks! I'm always down for another fishing bro!
Where were you in this video in sacramento? Nearest access point?
Use google maps to look at the river and pick out some good looking riffles. Check out along some of the roads/bridges that cross the river.
Its a caddis pupa
ryanv829 thank you! I appreciate it :)
Looks like that fly is a nitro Cadis pupa. Not 100% sure but that my guess
Sub number 600 here!! Nice
😎😎😎
Palm Circle Pete haha. You made the big time! Check out my channel if you care to also.
These fish still there? Is the “spring half pound steelhead” run I’ve read about?
Yes sir, these trout are pretty much in here year round
Palm Circle Pete right on!, tried the spot just below this under the bridge and got 3 swinging the Caddis pupa
Fishing & Beyond nice man! I’ll be out there soon again :)
Hey man how long will these be in the river ??? Can I catch the trout year round ???
Trash can collector joe Leaves pretty much dude!
Palm Circle Pete great to hear man!
@@PalmCirclePete Heyo
Some type of caddis pupae maybe
I’m brand new to fly fishing, does anyone mind telling me exactly where this spot is on the river?
Yes since you're goddamn lazy and don't want to go scout the river yourself. I'll tell you where its at. This spot is right there.
Can you catch trout with spinners or bait on the American River? Any advice as to tackle or location as I'd like to take my 12 year old niece out there to try (she lives near Folsom). Thanks!
Yes definitely man. My buddy and I when out on a boat for steelhead or salmon throw little spinners and hook up a lot on trout. My favorite trout lure for the American fishing from shore is a plain silver spoon. Hit up Fishermen’s where house on Folsom!
Are the rainbows still there, and will they bite spinners or drift fishing worms/powerbait? If so, any spots you would recommend?
Was just at this spot fly fishing. Just caught a few pike minnows only. Lol
I went out a week ago and didn't hook up :(
I've caught them there with spinners this time of year, so you should have luck! lmk how you do
What part of the American?
Pete! Just moved to the sacramento area ( Watt Avenue River Access is pretty much my backyard). Love fly fishing even though im relatively new. Where should I go for some good access? Youre the man!
Nice! You’re in a great spot, a lot of this video was filmed right in this area. Trout in the American are picky and technical, but if you put in the time and research you should get lucky.
They got to be stocked rainbows right?
I think they were all hatchery steelhead
Awesome day of fishing. What are the regulations for this section of the American? Is it barbless flies only?
jason thanks! no not on this section. You can check it out online though, there’s is a barbless section only west of the hatchery.
Would you teach someone how to fish ? I live the Sacramento area and I’m just getting into fly fishing.
Hey man I wish I had the time! Sorry but at this point I’m working full time as a math teacher and live down in Tracy.
Try Bass Pro Shop. They have free fishing lessons that you should be able to sign up for online. Not sure they are scheduling classes during covid. Good luck!
At 7:55 you can see a steelhead or salmon in the background
Thats a bird
Nice job man! What do you think of that measure net? I was thinking of getting one.
Not my favorite to be honest. The material gets flies stuck in it a lot, the measuring tape is a cool feature, but honestly I’ve never lined up a trout to see how long it was in the net anyway.
@@PalmCirclePete ha, that's what I've read. Thanks for the feedback.
Hi pete im new to fly fishing and i have had trouble looking for places to fish in the American river any help?
A good spot to start out is around the riffles by the watt or fair oaks overpass
Was that a lamprey eel you recorded?
I think so!
@2:25 what bridge is that?
that fly looks to me be a Fox's Caddis Poopah (th-cam.com/video/C58j6IlkZ6g/w-d-xo.html)
Thanks!
Where on the river is this
Hey man, I don't want to give the exact location but this is between Watt and River Bend Park!
just upstream of watt ave bridge, maybe 75 meters
You can catch trout in the entire American River. There are 1000's of spots to fish from. You don't have to just fish this guys spot.
Fox caddis pupa
Thanks!
are you allowed to keep those fish? or are they to small?
Andrew Vang there isn’t a size regulation on these trout, but you have to make sure they’re hatchery! Can’t keep any wild trout/steelhead in the American. You can identify them as hatchery fish by their cut adipose fin, sometimes it has healed over with a scar. I try to not keep fish this small though. If I’m going to harvest a fish, I shoot for 12+ inches for trout, that’s a regulation in other places.
I know a spot In about an hour outside of auburn with some BIG trout. Do you have facebook?
No but I do have instagram, I'm down!
Hi Jonah ... I just moved to Auburn and looking for a good spot to catch trout - care to share where your location is?
@@Kingwenonah not on here he won't 😂
Hi can i still catch trout on the american river? or is it already gone? thank' and nice video
Yes sir!
I live in Sacramento I was just wondering where this spot was so I can check it out?
Use night crawlers when the trout run. it may snag a bit but you can limit out. Im not Shure but the limit on the American is either 1 trout or two per person.
are those baby steelhead or year round resident rainbows?
Ronald McDonald I’m not sure to be honest. I’ve heard both, and I bet there’s a good case for each, but I’m not experienced enough to identify the difference at this point 🤷♂️ I’ve heard veterans who fish the American say that at all trout in the American are steelhead. Obviously that’s an exaggeration, I’ll do some research!
Someone at nimbus showed me a picture of a fish that he caught by the wall. It was the size of an average steelhead but with large spots and slightly brownish color, I think he caught a sea run brown
@@bssaassin1900 you sure it wasn't just a salmon?
@@Sam-zv9fi I know what a chinook salmon looks like it wasn't a salmon it looked like a large trout but not as silvery as a steelhead the spots were large and well spaced. There has also been a few chum salmon caught there and one time a sockeye salmon was reported in the American so it's amazing where fish can end up sometimes
I read about this, supposedly at some hatchery in the folsom area there were some huge brown trout that they had when they closed it down or moved operation or something. They ended up releasing the browns into the american supposedly, i saw a picture of someone catching a brown on the american, and the yuba as well, the leading theory on the kienes fly fishing forums for these fish was either one of those fish from that hatchery, or these happen to be big browns that survive getting swept over the dam at folsom lake. You are not crazy for thinking it was a brown on the american river, i assure you, ive seen pictures of them caught in the sac river watersheds
One cornhole didn't like your video.
😵
Non-stop action ?? 😂 5-6 fish.
That’s good on the american.
