I live overseas now, but grew up in Fresno back in the late 70-mid 80's. Used to fish and catch crawfish in the same area you're in now. Spent a lot of time jet sking on Pine Flat Reservoir too. Thank you for sharing and bringing me back to my childhood days.
I live in Sanger and just started to fish again after I lost all my stuff a few years back. Been fishing for the last month. All I catch are pikeminnow on fish eggs and worms.
Bro im in Fresno also just started Fishing again 2x a Week , Been hitting up Hensley and want to go check out Kings River @ Choinumni Park this Tuesday Wednesday . Subbed my friend and liked
I throw those pikeminnows on shore or bonk them and throw them back. These things are making their way up into the higher streams and eating all the native trout. Where I use to catch trout, I'm catching pikeminnows.
@@fresnocitycollegeguitar6281 Yes on the old highway near the quarry just of the road. Caught some trout and some pike minnow there. I was just at trimmer the other day bites on Power Bait and a silver Panther Martin.
Use rainbow(green and orange) with glitter. That's the most popular one. Make sure power bait is floating while on hook. Use no more than 4lbs test line or leader. Just sink it with split shots.
I went out to the dam today with the set up you said. I caught one rainbow trout about 1.5 feet long in like 2 mins. Got dark so I left. Thanks for your advise its greatly appreciated.
@@ridnventures1368 ,. Congrats.. 1.5' is a nice one. One thing to consider is that below the dam is a popular place for trout plants. Usually done on Thursday or Friday sometimes weekly, other times not.
I say let the pike minnow go. they are native and they have coexisted with trout for hundreds of thousands if not millions of years. if you really want to help native fish like trout, get rid of bass which aren't native and are just as likely to eat young trout.
@@michaelsalazar7331 ohh sorry i didn't know a simple mistake could result in an argument and yes i did do research after this reply most species of bass were introduced to cali in the 1800s and some on the 1970s u should me mad at the public tho for spreading fales truths but all bass in cali have been categorized as naturalized meaning they found a place in this ecosystem

Don't always have to keep them .

I love fishing there! To bad the construction took the toad away from the river.
I hear the bridge by the new freeway is hitting right now
@@SixxRose22 ill have to check it out
What’s up Jack? So south of 180, near Centerville? Never tried there.
@@fresnocitycollegeguitar6281 Yes on the old highway near the quarry just of the road. Caught some trout and some pike minnow there. I was just at trimmer the other day bites on Power Bait and a silver Panther Martin.
hello, lev. you v gone lately past avocado lake? i feel there s too much fast water, no fish bites. i only use powerbait. any siggestions? ty.
water is definitely too fast. I hardly do good.
Used to fish this spot a lot of smallmouth bass. Think I had some video of it but never uploaded it.
Yeah lots of smallmouth. Especially in fall. The trout are tricky in fall. Going back this weekend. Wish me luck! Haha
This spot looks cool. LMK which cross streets to look up. Gonna take a few of the nephews so they can pull a fish or two.
Highway 180( Kings Canyon road) dirt patch rt before where Kings river cross it.

You should go to the dam right now. It's pretty hot right now, 15 Saturday and 10 Sunday good luck.
I think if he did take them out people would have probably bashed him for taking them but I agree take them out.
Just found you and subbed, we call fisherman need to stick together. Keep it up.
Whoever likes fishing the kings may want to get a recipe for pike minnows cause thats all you can catch there.
Good deal! I actually have looked at that area but never went after it lol.
What are the limit when catching pike minnows also are there a size limit?
they don't have any regulations as far as I know..
@@Levup_XP_Outdoors thank you
I've tried that place and up by the dam and cant catch anything. I'm new to this any tips? I use powerbait of every kind lol

Someone below said dam is on 🔥
Thank you for the reply and the tips. I'll be heading out there today to try my luck again lol.

Is this by the dam at Pine Flat?
A pike minnow?
Cool video, did u have any trouble getting your hook or rooster tail stuck on rocks?
Absolutely..
Should've kept it invasive species.
Nah, these are Sacramento pike minnows, native to california
Keep pipe minnow and use them for catfish bait
Fish on!!!
This area I don't think is good for cats, but I wouldn't be surprised if one is caught.
What’s the limit for trout over there ?
5... but remember.. once you pass high way 180 north its Catch and Release... all the way up the the Alta Weir..
@@Levup_XP_Outdoors I don't think that's enforced. Was up there last few weekends and the angler signs says its "encouraged"
@@Flies_the_limit ... ? 180 North to Cobbles Alta Weir is CnR... upper Kings from Pine Flat to Garnet Camp is 2 per bag and encouraged for CnR..
Is this the guy the I met a rite aid
someone else..

Bass r native to dumb ass carp r the ones to to get rid of
@@OstentatiousClown I had a stroke reading that. Bass aren't native to California, do a google search before you show your ignorance.

@Lucas Oats you are uneducated. They take over in areas because of humans. Besides, you probably wouldn't toss a bass on the bank, would you?
Isn't that spot cnr tho?
south of 180 is cool.
nice trout fishing 559
Is there catfish out there?
Yes.
Channels and bullhead tho. Not really super big ones but you never know 💪🏼
Awesome video man!! I just uploaded!! Go check it out👍🏼💥
Should have killed that pike minnow
Lame
