Not at all. Our kids are grown and we love seeing kids enjoying camping. That is a great place to camp and enjoy nature. You had the truck tent didn’t you? I commented to Pat in how cool that was. We need to get back over there. Happy camping . Thanks for watching . - Gigi
Welcome to trout fishing! It's a lot of fun. Trout do have a tendency to be "gut hooked" so i try and keep the retrieval to a minimum, as well as taking the barbs off the hooks, especially if intending to "catch & release." Planning on an overnight to that area soon! Thank you for the video.
As a fly fisherman growing up in Georgia, I laughed when I saw y'all using corn flavored bait. We fish all day long using bug and larvae flies, studying entymology, water columns, hatches, etc. - but you can catch them all day long on the Chattahoochee using a hook and corn... 🙂 Nice to see someone eat a fish too for a change...
Ha!! We love fresh caught fish! Especially when you can eat them while looking over the water they came from. A guy from the fly shop told us that they were somewhat hard to catch. The Sipsey river was so rich in food that their bellies stayed full most of the time. Thanks for the comment!
@@gigiplusthebeard That's some John Gierich Trout Bum level stuff right there, catching trout and cooking them right at the water's edge... great stuff!
They have some camping spots on site at the fly shop. Our site was looking over the river. The sites do not have power or running water . They have a bathroom and shower at the fly shop .
We walked a short distance down a bank to fish . There are multiple camp spots. Some of the camp sites have a little farther walk than others but they are all an easy walk to the creek to fish .
Nice video. I hope me and the kids didn't do too much noise behind you all! What a coincidence!

@@gigiplusthebeard also, where did you find that beeswax fire starter? That looked convenient as well.
@@gigiplusthebeard and yes, we enjoy going there too! It is very nice every season.
@@gigiplusthebeard BTW, I tried sharing the link to the truck tent a few times, but TH-cam removes the reply...
@@astrodrayer, well fiddle . I hate that -Gigi
We live very close and have fished the Sipsey all our lives. We do filming there as well. Great video. Really enjoyed it.
It is definitely an area that we want to explore more. It is beautiful and the fish taste great. Thanks for watching.
Great video! On my list to do 2024!
It is a great place. Enjoy. Thanks for watching -G

Fishing with corn is a no no. It'll kill them
Fun trip. Had no idea the rainbow trout got that big.
We didn’t either . We were surprised to catch some that size .
Do you have a link for that fuel canister bag?
Enjoyed the trip. Ive never caught trout
We had a blast and they ate good too.
Enjoyed the video I'm just curious: do you guys fly fish? It is a blast to land that size trout on a 3/4 weight fly rod. Thanks for sharing
Patrick has played with a little fly fishing and we can see how it can be addictive. - G
Where did you camp?
They have some camping spots on site at the fly shop. Our site was looking over the river. The sites do not have power or running water . They have a bathroom and shower at the fly shop .
Can you fish at the camp site?
We walked a short distance down a bank to fish . There are multiple camp spots. Some of the camp sites have a little farther walk than others but they are all an easy walk to the creek to fish .
