- Solo hiking in the dark, spending 2 days in Washington State backcountry. Trying to catch fish and sleeping in a hammock, carrying everything I need on my back. The simple life :).
Kyro, my dog, had to stay home this weekend. We're based in British Columbia, Canada and spend the weekends solo adventuring, exploring mountains, camping and paddling. New videos every week.
Join me on PATREON bit.ly/patreon-madison-clysdale
Thanks for being here and thank you for supporting mine and Kyro's adventures. We love making videos and Patreon will help us put more time and effort into giving back to you :).
Your views and comments on TH-cam also mean the world.

We can watch you not catch fish for as long as it takes, the process of you figuring it out is so human, I really appreciate your style of content. Thank you for existing.
This is SO kind. I’ll continue filming as long as you keep watching 🫡
👍
@@MadisonClysdaleelike your simplicity
How can't join with you mam?
I would recommend visiting the local bate/fishing store. Most of the time they’re friendly enough to recommend the right combo to use and show you how to set it up. I’d recommend a slightly better rod/reel for lures and use your current for a bate rig. That way you can double your chances.
That lake and the mountains’ reflections are stunning.
It was so serene
@@MadisonClysdaleeI know your just learning but I've had very good luck with only the panther Martin alone no egg sinker. You should give it a try
I like your natural style hiking content, not saturated in any form.
Much respect to you for walking out in the dark and staying by yourself that’s awesome
You are a brave and adventurous young lady; an inspiration. My wife and I used to do this; leave work Friday, drive 2-4 hours to camp. Hike in dark or just sleep in car till first light. Then back pack in and come out on Sunday. Your videos make me want to do this again. And you’re right about making the video regardless of catch. It’s about the experience. I’d ask the fishing shops that are closest to where you’ll be fishing for lure, bait, and rig (bait under bobber, flies with weighted bobber etc) suggestions. They should have the most up to date info for the area. You might want to put new line on your reel. Often times, the line has been on the reel sitting in the store for a long time and it can develop a memory where it isn’t as supple and is therefore harder to cast. The local shops should be good for advice on that too. Keep up the great content! 👍❤️
That is so nice to hear you did the same with your wife. I'll definitely have to talk to a local shop, thanks. A bit tricky when I drive to a new place each weekend hehe.
Really glad I came across your channel a few weeks ago! I just started car camping with my doggo this summer. You’ve given me a lot of ideas on setup and different camping gear. Your genuine love, curiosity, and enthusiasm for the outdoors is what hooked me. Stay safe and I hope you and Kyro have the most amazing adventures!!
Thank you so much. Cheers to many more car camping adventures with our doggos
@@MadisonClysdalee Where were your videos the last 2 weeks?
I love that you mentioned having a conversation with yourself about turning around. I have this conversation almost every solo trip I go on, and am so glad that I haven't yet convinced myself to just go back home and sleep in my comfortable bed. So cathartic to spend a night in the woods alone...it truly helps you grow as a person. Great video!
There's no such thing as getting skunked when you're in such a STUNNINGLY beautiful place!!!
That's right, thank you for supporting content creators like us
Quick advice. You don't use any weights when you're using rooster tails. The rooster tail is meant to be used by itself.
Reason why you can't cast far with the rooster tail is because you're rod is way too big and heavy for rooster tails. Typically they're paired up with light to ultra light rod. In addition, the lighter your line, the better. I suggest something like 4lb or 6lb mono line.
In additon, there are seasons for trout. They typically do the best during spring and fall/winter time.
In that lake you're in, i suspect there are a lot of bass. I would use a texas rig worm or crawfish, or anything top water
Good to know. As someone who’s trying to learn everything they can about fishing right now, I like hearing what advice people have
Silver and gold and countdown brouwn trout rapalas work awesome . 🎣🎣🐟🐟i krimp barbs on hooks and remove the belly treble.hook easier to.unhook and release. 👍👍
With spinner baits, you also have to retrieve fast enough for the blade to spin around the shaft. If you point your pole 90 degrees away from what the lure, it'll become obvious when this is happening.
To fish these (slightly) lower in the water column, let it sink before retrieving and keep your pole tip down. Be wary though as these are snag magnets!
Agreed that weights are not usually used with rooster tails. It can be hard to get small lures out far. Weight might help, but start with small BB weights.
One could transform an earring dangle into a unique custom lure. I've always used them to the best effect. Just add a hook and a tie point.
I'm really impressed with your tenacity to go out there and just get it done. You want to fish, so you go out and do it. A lot of folks would come up with excuses especially when facing the same time constraints as yourself, and they waste their weekend on the couch, but not you. Great job!
As an avid fly fisherman for over 40 years I still say catching a fish is the bonus, the process is the most fulfilling.
Cheers from Abbottsford
The scenery around that lake is just awe inspiring!! Not many would hike to a spot in the dark, that took courage.
So much respect for hiking in the dark!! Trying to get to a point where I feel comfortable doing the same. Love from ontario!
It took me many trips and I almost turned around but I never end up regretting pushing my comfort zones. Thanks for watching :)
Extremely worth it the stars are way more beautiful in high altitude at night.
Don't worry sooner or later you will catch your first. But I believe fishing is just a small part of getting out and enjoying nature and the great outdoors. GREAT VIDEO
I could watch this young lady all day long and never get tired of listening.
Huge respect for your mindset, attitude, adventure & outlook.
Certainly alot braver than me. I wouldn't even venture into the woods alone let alone sleep in them. You're certainly an inspiration to myself and no doubt others who watch this aswell. Stay safe Regards Paul from England. 👍
I just love your content. Its great to see you live the simple life. I moto camped in Minnesota and it is so rewarding to become one with nature. The Morakniv Companion is my go to knive and I carry it on every camping trip. I moved to Germany and now I am trying to find places to camp in Europe. Thanks again, you are awesome.🥰
Sounds amazing!! I may have just got an e-bike and am excited to build out my own bike camping setup. E-bikes are a gateway drug to motorcycles 😆
Lol!!
You are the first person I have ever heard put words to the 1 day escape!!
Magic
i cant believe this.. solo woman hiking alone, i cant do that, im 37 years old bodybuilder male..., you are amazing
The Knife, the Bear spray, the intelligence and sincerity. Awesome.
Great job! I'm solo all the time in WA, N. Cascades (all 4 seasons) & U R ok for the most part with bear here... we have a season for them so they are afraid of humans - they've _always_ run away from me when they see me... you did great making noise.
What a super hike you did and you're staying on top of your game by educating yourself and challenging yourself with attainable goals! That's just awesome, and don't let anyone try to tell you different cause you're female or going solo. As you know, there's few experiences in life that can compare emotionally and spiritually; being at one with Cascadia is transcendent!
Agree.....I've hiked Washington for 50 years. No bear problems. I don't know a single hiker that carries bear spray.
Love it when you add in your cousin and him saying " she's never going to catch a fish: is so funny
I also love travelling and visiting nature
can't go outside lately because of my pre-thesis work, so your videos kind of suffice to my longing for nature ❤
This is my ultimate goal. Thank you for sharing. I commend your work ethic, congrats on your thesis.
Good job on This video in tent camping and fishing too
After watching two of your videos it has been a stirring reaffirmation for me and the way I approach being outdoors. This kind of hiking and camping is a lot of fun and is overlooked by many. I'm happy I found this channel.
I've recently started solo camping with my dog as well and I commend you on your fortitude. You seem to be very level headed and well prepared for your adventures, quite refreshing to see in the you tube world
Wait is over, finally
Of all the girls who have videos about hiking solo, you’re the prettiest, most modest, most engaging, most interesting, most informative, most talented, most fun, and the only one to whom I’ve subscribed.
Hey Madison,
you need to get in the lure a bit faster. Do it that fast that the silver thing around your hook starts spinning. The fishes get attracted exactly from that. If you dive the rod next to you into the water and pull the spinner, then you can see how fast it needs to be that it spins. Hope this helps you!
You are much more courageous than I am, walking in the dark like this!
I'm preping for my first solo camping trip next months so I set my tent in the backyard, at the edge of the woods.
I had to retrieve something from it the other day, and the 60 yards I had to walk back and forth in the dark had me on the verge of tears 😂
I'm turning 26 next week and fell like such a baby lol
But if you can do it, then so can I 😊
Love your vids, they're an great inspiration to me!
This is the sweetest message ever. You’re crushing it, way to prep and get prepared :)
@@MadisonClysdalee thanks 😊 I'm really excited for the trip!
@@lelou12 Not gonna lie. Even after 15+ years of going to the woods, I still get primitive shivers every time the forest turns dark and I'm not at my destination. At least it has gotten easier year after year. :)
U can see better, in the dark, once ur eyes adjust to the low light. It takes about 30 mins, so use the red light setting on ur headlamp, if u have one. The red light protects ur night vision. It's surprising how much u can see once ur eyes adjust 👍
@@danielsingh9415 thanks for the advice!
Bravo for stating it's not just about the fishing but so much more!
So adorable
Those small lures with a blade are meant to be reeled in fast so the blade will spin around the body. The flashing and sound of the blade spinning is what attracts the fish. Go to the closest river or lake by your house and practice. Also, get some floating lures (frogs) that will go thru the weeds without getting hung up.
The most often overlooked part of picking a casting rod is actually just matching your rod & lures (also, please ditch that sketchy kids reel). Once you've decided which rod you want (based on your usage I would suggest something lightweight, 6lb max, with medium/fast action) then read the label right above the handle which should tell you what weight lures it's rated for. Keep your lures in that range and you'll see a huge improvement in your casts.
I show up at the urban lakes around Vancouver all the time with my thirty dollar 4lb Diawa spincaster set up, chucking 1/16oz lures, and I'm casting 20-40 feet farther than most everyone else, because they've either tied a car bumper to their lightweight rod, or a marshmallow to their bottom bouncing salmon rod. This is one of those times where your teacher was right and math is important. 😉
Thanks, enjoyed your video. 👊🏼✌🏻
sooner or later you will catch a fish and that one fish will stay with you for the rest of your life take care walking at night even with a light stay strong your friend in the UK🎣👍👍
Love this. Thank you!!
I started carrying a Tenkara fly fishing rod with me on hikes. It's very different from reel fishing, but I've been having a blast using it on smaller streams to catch trout. Best part is that the rod only weighs like 2 ounces and collapses to be about a foot long, so I can easily pack it with my flight kit to take on layovers when I'm at work. It's a very simple way to fish and I highly recommend it if you have access to well-stocked smaller streams.
Hacker ALERT, @Text561__ is NOT Madison FYi
Thanks for the video. The path of learning is defined by the failures and adjusting to those failures to meet success half way. Just keep doing what you love.
Don’t go cheap on the fishing line or reel. You can also use a clear floating bobber that you can put a little water in for weight with a fly behind it. A olive woolly bugger or a Carrie special will catch fish anywhere.
Hi Madison,
I like that you are passionate about doing new things. I have some suggestions to make your fishing experience easier 😁.
You need a better, lighter and more flexible rod. When you cast try not to force, it must be a relaxed movement, like a whip.
The fishing line must be thinner, for beginners I recommend 0.18mm with a weight resistance of 8-10kg
It will help you cast further.
If the water is clear try using a lure (spinnerbait) that resembles a gold or silver colored fish (with a bit of red)
If the water is cloudy, you can use brighter colors, orange, green.
I hope it helps
Good luck 😉
Congrats on almost catching a trout! They are known to be finicky. I think a panther Martin is a great choice. The weight might have been too big, judging from all the grass in the water. Although it's harder to cast further with less weight so it's always a bit of a guess.... You can also use little split-shot sinkers ( one or more depending on depth ) which just pinch into your fishing line. If it was deep water sometimes you have to let it sink before you start reeling in ( like count to 20 ). Worms might help too . Just use a tiny piece. If you use a whole worm , fish will steal it 😆. There's always a lot of experimenting and every Lake is different. Keep trying and you'll get some, for sure!
Cheers from Ontario and thanks for the video!
Great video. So fun to watch someone brave the elements alone and come out smiling. You are inspiring to those of us who can't seem to make the time for adventure. Thank you 👍
One of the few authentic style of content out there. Glad I stumbled on your channel! Awesome video 🙌
The thought of an 8-hour round trip is quite daunting for someone like me, living in a small country where even a 1-hour drive feels like a significant journey. How do you keep yourself entertained during that time? Are there specific music or podcasts that make the long road enjoyable for you? Continues in next comment below..
Did you mention your interest in pursuing an advanced degree, so perhaps dedicating hours to listening to university lectures from brilliant minds could be a productive way to spend solo drives. That's something I would do for a while and definitely not for career advancement but driven by intellectual curiosity. I'm blessed that hard work and fortunate investments in the technology sector have set me up comfortably enough that I don't need to work again.
I've noticed that watching videos from you, Forestry, and other impressive Canadians has sparked an idea in my mind: I'm considering purchasing a place in British Columbia to serve as a base for hiking and camping adventures across the region. I plan to follow through once I receive the necessary paperwork from the government. Apologies for this comment turning into a personal reflection! 😅
Keep up the great work. Your videos are great to watch. You are talented on camera along with the star of the show - the great Canadian outdoors. I subscribed after your hike with Foresty. My only suggestion is please make the videos longer than 10mins or so.
I also enjoy Foresty but waiting 1, 2 or even 3 weeks for a video that lasts 10 minutes is disappointing. Other youtubers in the same market, if you like, can stretch it to 50+. It doesn't have to be all dialog either. Shots of the trail, scenery, botany, geology, finding good camping etc can be great filler to watch
"Howes the Hike" can take an overnighter ("one night stand" as he calls it - bless him haha) and make an entertaining one hour video from it.
I'm on a different tack, and totally enjoy the short and sweet videos. 10 minutes is great, I don't need a National Geographic feature film to get the feel for an overnight outing -- and if you make videos, you KNOW how much work & how long it takes to generate decent content. Thanks for all the great free entertainment and education.
you have the right mindset: fish the experience
👍,,.
You are an impressive young lady to do this alone. Fishing is always fun whether you catch something or not! Well done!
Who also wants to hike like her😃😃
No one.
You usually don’t see girls so pretty on trail lol
Would like to hike with her../
Me & my friend Merissa!
I do
What a beauty ❤️ oh and the lake too
You’re not there yet but I love your energy and enthusiasm. Keep going girl, it’s all about the hours. Good on you
A lovely lady doing what’s dvd does, without everything falling out. Well done .
Hammock tents are the best!
Thanks for taking us on your backpacking trip. You just showed very well that fishing is not just catching fish, but the important thing is just getting out there into a beautiful setting and enjoying the solitude. Looks like your reel didn't have a full spool of line, which makes casting difficult. An open face spinning reel would work better for you. Panther Martins are very good lures so keep using them and you will eventually catch some fish.
Every once in a while you find something refreshing and honest, this is one of those times. Amongst the bedlam of thumbnail clickbait another amazing human rises from the doldrums and reminds us of how simple peace with existence can be.
Totally agree- much more to the trip than catching the fish and what you’ve shared is great fun to watch and listen to the details of all the other great parts. Love you, love your spirit and beauty, many thanks! 🏃♀️🌿🧘🏼🙏
Panther Martins are great lures. Mepps black fury and aglia as well. A 6.5' to 7' medium/light to medium action spinning outfit with 6# green mono is a good setup. Add a snap swivel to help with line twist. Canadian Tire has great sales on fishing rod combos, keep your eye on the flyer. And keep casting.
I love the fact that you show the full process for learning fishing. Ive gone a few times but not in recent times though. Its getting me super excited to see you catch your first fish!
I really like this video
Fishing 🎣 practice makes perfect
Fish - No Fish, Who Cares, GREAT Vid THANKS
Bobber & a worm fishing so much fun in lakes. Trout are always hungry in lakes, and their preferred food , Scratch around for bugs, worms etc etc..
Watching your content gives me some form of calmness from my very stressful life. I learned to appreciate the beauty of nature. Keep up the good work and may you have more blessings to come.
oh I love the way she describes her journey how beautiful nature is🤩
what an amazing view at that lake,,,, thanks for sharing
Just found your awesome channel. I can’t wait to start doing this. Learning a lot from your videos
👍,,.
Thanks for your honesty be blessed
Happy journey❤
hi it's nice to see you out and about on another trip the walk in the dark looked scary and still you camped you are truly one in million for trying out your camping exploit iam 63yrs old and when was in my 20 s through to my 50s I love the great outdoors it great to just set of and camp were you stop and camp fish and eat your catch I look forward to the next video thanks steve peace
Every hiking trip will be fun along with learning new things. Thanks for sharing. Have a grand day.
3:48 Wait! That is such a good way to do that knot haha! I don't fish that often but I'm gonna remember that next time
I like your videos because they present actual situations without theatrics; in other words I believe you genuinely present what you really experience without exaggerations . Keep up the good work !
Have a good enjoy ❤😊
You go girl! I do that all the time. It’s the best way to go on adventures!
You are amazing. You make me happy watching you explore.
Rất thú vị và thư giãn❤
Hi Madison, been watching you for a while. I can’t get over how brave you are, camping in them places by yourself. Thanks for all your work it’s really cool ✌️
Nice work. First time I've seen your channel. I like how to explain things right down to basics, and listen to your followers. We can all learn from each other.
Respect from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤ stay safe god bless ❤
You're a breath of fresh air. Thanks for making these.
its always the eyes! so beautiful
Hi Madison. As a fisherman myself it is always a pleasure to see someone learning to fish. If you’re looking for a decent rod I would recommend either a bait caster or an open face spinning rod. And for trout I would suggest that you use spinners. Always a pleasure to see somebody learning
You are one brave young lady! Great content! Keep exploring!
Lovely adventure
Just Beautiful!
Love that hammock and how it lays flat. I’ve used a Hennessy motorcycle camping. To get a flat sleep you lay diagonal inside. It’s much more work getting a pad in than yours. Rather than load all of your gear in the hammock I always hung mine from a tree unless I was in a busy campground. It’s all fun though. 😊
Beautiful view of the lake and the Mountains
Such a beautiful place. I admire your courage to enjoy life the way you desire. ❤
that is a gorgeous view
Great advice, treasure the journey, live life today
I love your videos. Great to see you outdoors enjoying the beauty of the forest. Fishing is a great way to relax. Keep out it. Patients is the key to fishing.Enjoy and be safe out there. Looking forward to seeing your next adventure.
Thanks for sharing 👍 😊
That lake is gorgeous!
Madison you are really inspiring and your channel is rapidly becoming one of my favourites
hell yeah i love this energy. Hammock!!!!
Lovely Nature and you!!
Love back country hiking your awesome
Ultra light, trout magnet....match line to rod weight.....totally wish I was there,...so beautiful....
That get-up-and-go-energy together with pulling through despite some doubts truly is inspiring! Thanks for the vid.
