Fun time out there. I like fishing that section of river when the high's are in the low 40's and it's around freezing when I start in the morning. I just wanted to squeeze this day of fishing in because I ran into the river being flooded out and stained several times this past Winter, going into early Spring. When I say Spring I mean calendar Spring. Early Spring felt a lot like Winter this year!

Looks so nice out there!

It was straight up fantastic Kidn8tive! Hope all is well.

Those were nice rainbows. I agree with your fishing logic.....keep it simple.

Right! I focus on mastering a few things rather than trying to figure what to use out of a large selection of possibilities. I used to get lost in a large selection of things and it's tough to keep track of what's effective, when, and why. If something I am using isn't effective now, I just vary the presentation. If it's jigs, I have a lot of presentation options. I got some tricks up my sleeve when I'm fishing nymphs as well. Same with spinners and Rapalas. That just about covers it for me!

Very good. It's warming.

It's warming quick and I think it's about to start getting straight up hot soon. I was on the Truckee this morning for my Patreon and that river is really high and raging. It's as high as I've ever fished it.

Hey this is the kids that met you on the eagle falls hike in Lake Tahoe today you’re channel is awesome

Right on. Nice running into you. I was going to stay up there but I decided coming home was far more comfortable than sleeping in my car! Glad you enjoy my channel. I have tons of content for you to enjoy.

That fly looks like a stone fly lure. Those work really well in the truckee for big browns 🎉

Those rainbows were instantly interested in it. I'm going to mess around with it more in the future for sure. Thanks for the info.

you should sample a couple of those rainbows they are excellent ...

I usually get my eating fish out of lakes and reservoirs. Personally, I'd rather catch these rainbows later when they are bigger rather than know what they taste like. All this talk about eating rainbows makes me think about fishing Lake Tahoe!

Right on. I just found it in a tree and, like a lot of the tackle I find, it found a spot in the rotation!

Thank you for the video Amani. I was wondering what a "strike indicator" is?

@wildernesswithamani1027

2 ай бұрын

Strike indicator is something on the leader that floats and if it goes down like a bobber it shows a strike. They come in a variety of styles and sizes.

East Walker river dry fly action is on fire if you’re looking to make the trip and keep using the fly rod!

Sounds like good action. I fly fish a ton all Summer and Fall.

When I was a kid, I came pretty close to a rattler on the banks of the feather

That looks like prime rattler territory. I was on high alert once it warmed up. You'll never forget that close call!

Don't you work? I'd like your job. Be back on east fork Carson in a week - maybe. Still too fast.

You wouldn't like my job. I finally dropped down to 30 hours a week in a very physical job. For the first 4 years of my channel I worked full time, 10-12 hour shifts depending on where it was. I needed work where I wouldn't need to be reached or think about work on my days off. By working the longer shifts, it gave me three days to create content. A lot of driving, hiking, fishing, and processing content in three days a week and working long, difficult hours the other 4. On top of that, I lift weights and carry out a lot of physical training 5-6 days a week, often before or after work when I am dead tired, to stay in shape to do this. I run on exhaustion but the light at the end of the tunnel is I am getting close to being able to scrape out a living doing this full time. Check out my video "anatomy of my Eastern Sierra trips" on my variety playlist. That will give you an idea of how I built up so much content in a short period of time. It kills me when people suggest "I'm lucky to do this". I'm lucky because I have grown to love making content and interacting with my viewers. If I make it to doing this full time between my Patreon and KZread channel, it will be achieving an awesome dream but luck has nothing to do with it. Keep watching and you'll see if I make it or not!

Is that fly a Zug Bug?

It could be. I've got a few different responses. All I know is it seems to work so it might show up in the starting lineup from time to time. Right now it's still a secret weapon!

Right on. The action was solid. I like to fish there when it's cold but I wanted to try one more time before Summer because I showed up here a couple of times this Winter and it was heavily stained and I couldn't really fish effectively. Now I'm satisfied until November.
