  • Fly Fishing California for Lahontan Cutthroat Trout!!
    Redd's Flies: reddsflies.com
    The Lahontan Cutthroat is a unique fish. It’s the largest of the trout species native to North America, can survive in temperatures pushing 78 degrees, and can live in saltwater… something you wouldn’t think a landlocked trout could do. Having originated in the high deserts this is one unique looking trout, so when we had to hike another 4 miles to find some open water we didn’t complain too much. But this creek was tiny.. so small in fact that at first glance we couldn’t see the water because of the overhanging grass. But when we came up to a Culvert crossing we immediately saw trout.
    That was some genuine excitement. Andrew then proceeded to sit down and drift the fly through the culvert and caught yet another cutthroat. These fish had either never seen fly in their life or there are so many that they felt the need to eat anything that touched the water. And these fish were big for the size of water they were living in… which is not surprising considering they can quit literally grow in excess of 40 pounds in lakes and rivers. But it didn’t stop there, this ended up being some of the most ridiculous fishing we’ve ever had.
    You can’t help but to feel fortunate when you’re plucking trout after trout out of a tiny little creek like this one. I’ve had some hard days of fishing, but this definitely wasn’t one of them. It made the hike up to this section of water worth every second.
    We honestly fished for less than 2 hours and felt like we had caught enough fish to last a lifetime, most of which we didn’t even put in the video. These Lahontan Cutthroat trout were some of the prettiest cutthroat trout I’ve personally ever caught. But to be honest this day was kind of a warmup.. because we knew that day 6 in California was going to find us hiking into the middle of nowhere in an attempt to catch the RAREST trout on earth. That’s right folks, you won’t want to miss the next video.

    WOW! Clean water, lots of cover from predators, and a large supply of bugs in all of that grass covering the creek makes for some aggressive trout that are much bigger than anyone could expect. Great video and beautiful fish.

      If not for the barbed wire , those range maggots would be walking and laying in the creek, while destroying the riparian area and banks . To make matters worse, this type of destruction of trout habitat regularly takes place on public lands, lands that YOU own.

    The Lahontan evolved in a giant ice age lake called Lake Lahontan, it was the size of one of the Great Lakes and stretched across NW Nevada, SE Oregon and NE California. The largest remnant of the lake is Pyramid Lake Nevada which holds some absolute monster size fish.

    You and Andrew must be the best small stream fly fisherman in the country! The size of the fish you pulled out of that little spring creek was amazing. I’ve hiked several miles to fish for these beautiful little, living gems in a much wider creek and I felt very fortunate to catch an 8 incher. The fish you caught were truly outsized for stream-resident Lahontan Cutthroat trout. As always, your close up beauty shots showed us the spectacular colors of these unique and scarce trout. I look forward to your next video. Based on your comments I think you have a real treat in store for your viewers.

      They are kooks who stomp through small creeks, destroying natural habitat. There's NO reason to stomp in a 2-3' wide creek. These guys are morons in and out of the water. I'd prefer they stay on the banks and catch and cook than stomp through those native creeks.

    My father and I are both avid fly fishers, he more so than I though. He is in a local club and one of the members passed away. Among the items his wife did not know what to do with was his mounted trophy Lohontan (Pyramid lake, Nevada '94). The other club members didn't want to see it tossed in the trash and my father ended up approaching me to see if there was a place for it in my shop (I have a bunch of old fishing stuff on the walls) So now it lives over the main door with the plaque giving credit to the gentleman still attached.

    Absolutely beautiful Cutty's ... the way they sparkle in the sunlight was impressive. The large size of some of those fish in such shallow water was also surprising. The stream covering must really contribute to the protection of those fish. Any type of natural predator in the area ? No doubt those fish would have some great taste but there were just too dang purdy to eat ! Thank you for this amazing video.

    Amazing! It's great to see truly wild indigenous fish in such abundance and obvious prime condition. It shows that even in heavily populated California, once you get far enough away from the populated areas Mother Nature still rules.
    I'm primarily a surf fisherman and I catch legal California halibut (22" minimum) along the Orange County beaches with surfers and tourists all around. I'm starting to think we humans aren't as all-powerful as we think we are. Other animals are strong and fit for their environments, too, and still thrive even in places like California where the conventional wisdom says they should have long been eradicated from.

    Fantastic to catch those fish from such a small stream, a really marvelous session. What colours!
    They aren't in very good condition though, they are so very thin, there can't be much food available for them to eat. That's probably why they're so easy to catch, they're so hungry that they'll eat anything and have to get to it quickly before another fish gets it.

    I had the same experience fishing for Lahontan last summer. I fished maybe 200 yards of stream and caught a couple dozen. The stream I was fishing was about twice the size of the one you guys fished, but equally challenging with the vegetation. They are a blast to fish for. i had some crazy dry fly eats too. I cant wait to get back to California to fish for them again.

    Man, if you guys are ever passing through Utah, I would love too take you guys to a spot that us locals don’t even really even hit too often that has massive browns and Cutthroats and fished best on streamers. It is pretty pretty tough rugged terrain on the way in, but it is one of the last sweet spots left in Utah!

    Beautiful trout!
    Not sure they are more beautiful than the goldens you caught, but beautiful nonetheless.
    So when you say they are the largest NA trout, are you excluding char such as lake trout? I think they grow larger.

    I feel like a cane pole or tenkarra fly rod would be perfect for this. But 20 mile hike I can understand brining the best thing you can since you may not know what exactly to expect. When you go back you should do a cane pole.
