    You know what I love about this channel? You’re about conservation and respect of the catch. Don’t bother spawning fish people.

    @phishndad 4 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    All summer long, alpine lakes 8-12kft are all I fish. Day hikes, overnight trips, week long backpacking trips I love them all! A couple other tips, when scouting for new waters it’s always nice if you can find a group of lakes close together to explore so if one is barren or fishing is just slow you have other options. 2nd, if you are hiking and like alcohol ditch the beer and bring your favorite whiskey! More bang for your buck weight wise!

    Spend a few days backpacking to a remote lake to only find out it is barren... been there..... done that more than once. But finding that off the beaten path lake with no one there is priceless. Great Video. Look forward to Monday Mornings again.

    Great video. I'll probably be mocked for this, but it would be awesome if you did a video about smallmouth bass fly fishing. I'm in the south and that's primarily what I fish for 3/4 of the year (except during the winter when the rivers are stocked with trout).

    So jealous of where you fish. I live where there are no mountains or trout, so I have to travel if I want to catch some.

  • @iancarpenter5488
    @iancarpenter5488 ปีที่แล้ว

    Fishing small lakes and ponds are my favorite here in Maine. We have an endless supply of both wild and stocked remote still water fisheries here for Brook trout. Dense woods are a problem. But basically every pond with decent fishing has several canoes stashed at it that anyone can use. Just bring your own paddle and leave as you found it.

      @gabeelkins9059 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Usually these alpine trout are dumb as a box of rock so pretty any nymph conducive to the area and season should do you nicely if you strip it. Small streamers in particular woolly bugger or zonker leaches do well for me too.

A lil 2/3 reddington Zero reel, and both a 2 and 3 line, with corresponding leaders/tippet. First upgrade from my starter white river dog canyon bass pr special 5w. Using as a 2 and 3w.

      Now having watched it. His videos seem like something my kids watch. I think people call it "content creation" or something nowadays. Even if his mollifying videos were to annoy me slightly. I would still say that the very people who he seeks out with it are the ones that need his advice the most. And with more than a quarter of the video dedicated to natural stewardship. It's certainly a net positive. Good Stuff!

    Saw this video right after getting back from two weeks in Yosemite high country with lots of hikes, lakes and fish over 10k ft. Why do you prefer Cutthroat over Brookies? In Yosemite it is pretty much all Brookies with only a couple lakes with Golden or Cutthroats.
