Love your video! I haven’t gotten out trout fishing in a minute and this video makes me miss it even more (I can’t drive yet so I can’t just get up and fish like I want to). That last fish had some gorgeous markings, almost like a coastal cutthroat.
I've been told these fish are all rainbows, but I've caught a few that I swear were cutts. Having just a few spots near the tail and the cutt marks on the jaw.
Yeah I know they are all rainbows but maybe the cutt markings are from past hatchery fish that interbred with the native fish. Hatchery rainbows were a weird mix of cutthroat and rainbows. @@driftstone
That’s sweet! Where’s a good spot up here in Shasta county to go trout fishing this time of year? Got my fly rod and reel ready to go but only place I been and had luck was McCloud lower falls.
It's hard to say since the gauge is down at the bottom. That said, I'd go fish any time a day or so after the flows have settled down. Dunsmuir doesn't fluctuate as much as the bottom, but even on a high water day there are opportunities to catch fish in the soft water on the edges.
That was a beautiful fish, Eric! Thanks for taking me fishing this morning.
Thanks for joining in!
Oh my gosh that drone shot at 10:30 is insane. Beautiful day on the water and nice to see your wife out there with you :)
Haha that triple braded section was pretty rad, but sadly it cliffed us out at the top.
Another well produced vid Eric and looks like a super trip. Lots of that water looks awesome for a little trout Spey! Catch ‘em on the swing!
You know, the same thought crossed my mind. That would probably make other anglers turn their heads haha.
Nice Eric! Dude its known eat food, look away, dangle a jig streamer is the key to catching! Haha
Beautiful area "those cliffs" wow! Thx for sharing👌
Another fun video! Love how you mix variety into the footage.
Good fish too!

Nice looking stream Eric and some beautiful scenery! Great video!
Thanks! I hope your winter season has been treating you well!

That drone is a guides best friends in finding those boulders with big buckets, nice
It's definitely something I'm looking at when I fly
Another great video Eric on another great river. Good times for sure!
Thanks Andrew, I appreciate it!
Gotta love a bonus jig streamer fish. Looks like a fun spot.
Ha, gotta love it when that happens. It was cool, I should have filmed us all dry heaving on the steep hike out.
What a great video. Beautiful area and with your family
Thanks my friend!
Great video Eric.
Thanks Brandon, see you next week!
Nice looking water!
It's a cool spot, I'm kind of surprised we didn't catch more.
@@driftstone me too.
What are the ideal flows for the upper Sacramento in the winter below Dunsmuir?

Another great video. Cheers!
Thanks, if you ever find yourself wandering down into Norcal. Hit me up!
@@driftstone will do for sure! I love it down there
Hey, those aren't sage rods. Seems I have some catching up to do haha.
haha yup. I sold the R8 and got some Orvis sticks.
@@driftstone nice!
Take it the wading staff was only for show
Yup, complete vanity :D
