Backpacking And Fishing The Golden Trout Wilderness | Inyo National Forest

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- For Labor Day weekend, Monica, David, Diamond, and myself went on a quick backpacking trip to the Golden Trout Wilderness. We were lucky enough to find a great campsite with not many people around. I was able to catch a few Golden Trout out of Nine Mile Creek. We also checked out Bald Mountain Fire Lookout Tower on the way home. The Golden Trout Wilderness has so much more to explore and I can't wait to get back out there.

Hello Huck
Thank you for letting us see through your videos the beauty of nature.
Thanks for watching Maria!
Nice area. Good looking little hybrids.
Thanks!
Great adventure weekend, golden trout, backpacking, pizza and hanging with diamond and crew, priceless 👏🏻👏🏻
Her homemade pizza was delicious!!!
Love the looks of that place, you caught some beautiful fish! Nice camp setup, visiting old abandonded places like that is always fun!
Love those abandoned cabins!
Those golden's live a tough life... winters up there are brutal, not much water to hide in. Pretty neat lookin' fish no doubt. Thanks for takin' us along for the ride.
Yeah they do! Imagine how much snow was in that meadow this year!
Good to see the A team out enjoying the trail golden trout are a very cool fish and tasty, thanks for the two cabin views and for thinking of me on the trail hip hip
Ever since that one time at Tom Vincent's cabin and I found out you were a backside man, the backside of cabins has changed for me.
The Goldens in that area are as pretty as they come! Great job.
Yes they are!
that is one Solid Outhouse! awesome you could pull fish from that tiny creek. Thanks for joining the balloon recovery effort! if we keep putting the word out people might get better about making sure they dont get released. Awesome views/ little bit of everything in this one , Great Video!
Yeah hopefully there is less of the balloons being released! Those things are everywhere!
Yep those little babies are fun to catch. Great video!
Thanks bud! There's just something about catching fish out of a small creek like that.
@@HuckOutdoors Sometime you might want to try McGee Creek from 395 all the way down to Crawley Lake. Half way down it confluences with Convict Creek. From there on down to the lake it's huge browns all the way. There is NO cover so you have to be stealth when moving up to the creek. Creep up to it and kneel to fish. Then when moving down stream walk out away from the stream till you get to where you want to fish next. Then creep up to the steam and cast. I've broken more than one rod there on big browns.
I haven't fished McGee creek in almost 20 years! I need to go back there and fly fish it sometime after the confluence.
@@HuckOutdoors Let me know when you decide to go there and I will meet you in the Bishop area.... Would love to fish with you some time.
@@mobiltec will do! I got a backpacking trip this weekend up that way, but it would be fun to set something up sometime up there!
Wow what an amazingly awesome area them views WOW
Views were pretty cool!
" Charlie, here's the back of it for you".. bahahahaha!! That never gets old. Awesome vid, Huck. Can't wait to see more of the GTW
Need to get you up there!
What a cool place, and so few people, we definitely have to get back and explore some more soon.
Can't wait to catch some more Golden Trout!!!
Huck I love that area. I was out in that area last year. I cannot wait to fish that area again. I started at horseshoe meadows. Great video
Horseshoe Meadows is a great spot!
Great video Jason. Diggin the intro music and slow mo shots. Stunning meadow. Golden trout are beautiful fish. Kinda like fishing with grenades but still looked fun. Amazing view from fire lookout. Nice trip brother. And thank you for mailing me your sticker. I received it. Happy trails my good man
Thanks Mark! Trying a new intro for trail videos. Seems to be turning out ok!
Well, not EXACTLY wilderness, if some rancher's outlying herd is up there! But, things could be worse--as Johnnie Muir absolutely hated domestic SHEEP, to be in these areas. Funny thing 'bout the East Kern Plateau country . . . back in '76, I was a firefighting crewmember, for the USFS's Blackrock Tanker Crew, out of Blackrock Ranger Station! That was so looonngg ago, that they were still using WW II-surplus B-17's ("Twelve O'clock High"/Memphis Belle), as Retardant Bombers! Surprisingly nimble they were for such big airplanes--they could tuck in really close to the ground, to hit those fires, very hard, with their salvos, then pull up 'n' out like planes a Fifth their size! And, sonufagun, I went up to Bald Mountain, too, on one of my days off! The gal up there was married to one of the Patrol Technicians--kinda "junior" Rangers--except they didn't have full Peace Officer Qualifications, with Firearms, Jurisprudence, & Hand-To-Hand. They were fairly nice acquaintances, for the few short weeks that I knew them. Back then, it was even MORE, out in the middle of nowhere. I'd guess that Domelands, were the Southernmost advance, of the big Ice Age glaciers. Those cabins, could now be a Century-and-a-Half years old! How did Diamond handle the Coyotes? As Wolves progress in their re-propagation, from the Northernmost Sierra/Southeasternmost Cascades, they could be back in these parts a Half-Century from now. They would be remote descendants of the reintroduced packs of Yellowstone.
The ranch hasn't been used in probably 30-40 years. The old cabins were old ranger cabins. I would love to explore the domeland some time soon! Diamond just stayed close to Monica, and really didn't pay much attention to the yelps of the coyotes. Thanks for sharing your story of your time up there!
Awesome, I love your vids.
Thank you!
I love it up there!
It's a cool spot for sure!
Beautiful fish, great views. Maybe I’ll finish the hike we did in the Golden Trout Wilderness, it’s an amazing place.
GTW is so vast! There is so much to see and do there!
I found you through lead me outdoors ......had to stop by ....I dig it ! Liked , subbed and rang that bell !!! !
BEAUTIFUL DOG !!!!!
Thank you! Matt's got an awesome channel! Hope you enjoy the videos!
Man, I'm putting that one on the agenda. I normally take the Jeep up to Monanche Meadows and then drive out via Sherman Jeep trail. That creek looks perfect for high-sticking with a 2wt!
That would be a lot of fun!
Those goldens were beautiful!!! Congrats on your first golden trout. This place is high up on the list of places I want to backpack. Hey at 13:30, Bigfoot Martinusen makes a cameo in the background.
It was a great couple days back there. However that was just my first golden that day. My First golden that I can remember came from Laurel Lakes.
On my bucket list! I was actually supposed to be heading up there this weekend but...
Ah man! Would be a great weekend out there! Definitely worth getting out to!
Are all golden trout only catch and release?
They’re beautiful.
Nice videos!
They are not all C&R, but I prefer to do so.
Huck Outdoors thank you
Cool.video. is this the easiest accessible place to fish for goldens as I would like to bring my old man? Does this open with the rest of the Sierra opener. One tackle store told me july 1 and another last sat in april.
There are other places that are easier. Shoot me an email. jason@huckoutdoors.com
@@HuckOutdoors Thanks..Email sent.
Nice video !
Thanks bud!
May i ask where the trailhead started at n how long was that hike to casa vieja ..im looking for an easy hike cause im old now n trying to catch some golden trout again ...my lakes i used to hike n fish are now all hybrid goldens with rainbows aww ...thanks
The TH was blackrock TH. It's about a 4-5 mile roundtrip down. Could easily be done in a day.
Ok Thanks ..I'm out of shape old but I need to catch another real Golden trout ....before I pass ....the lake I used to catch em before .. now is all hybrid mixed rainbows /goldens smh crystal lake above lake George in mammoth lakes area
Great video, you were just a few miles from where I caught 15 and 18 inch goldens last year. Did I see you break a fly rod in an earlier video ? If you haven’t replaced the rod yet, let me suggest looking at Moonshine Fly Rods, great rods at excellent prices, I own 3 of their rods.
15-18 Inch goldens! You have my attention! lol I'll check the moonshine rods out. The rod I snapped was a Cabelas rod, which should be covered under their warranty.
Great video Huck! How was the mosquito situation during your camping trip? Meadow looks great.
Wasn't too bad since we had some cold temps at night.
I’m researching a trip to this area now and struggling to figure out where to fish. Any advice? I’m looking at Inyo National Forest in the Bishop CA area. Any resources to find a nice stream and meadow like this?
Shoot me an email. Jason@huckoutdoors.com
@@HuckOutdoors message sent, thank you!
My teacher said he went to high school with you and played basketball together . My teachers name is mr cruz , and I’m pretty sure his first name is Brandon
I remember Brandon. Hes a good guy. Tell him I said hi. Enjoy the videos.
Ok I will
Dude! Golden’s! That’s pretty sweet! I should give you a sample of my Mattkit Gourmet big’un burrito. I think you would love it!
I need to try it!
Great job what color
Mini jig did you use I am so interested in going there those fish are so beautiful
Natural colors work the best.
Do you need permit to do that hike?
No, there is a sign in box at the beginning.
@@HuckOutdoors thank you
What bait were you using ?
1/64 oz mini jigs with no barbs

Huck Outdoors what color jigs were working for you?
I thought bringing a dog into that area was a ticketable offense. Have you heard otherwise? Thanks.
Nope dogs are allowed
Thank you.
