That first fish you caught was definitely pure. I think those are the most beautiful goldens I have seen in a creek. I know of one place to catch them here in a creek where I live but they don’t seem to get that big. Pretty amazing thanks for sharing !
One of my faves of your videos. I can tell that you are just in awe over Goldens. The clear highlight of my fishing life occurred when I hooked a big Golden right at dusk at an 11K' lake in the Sierras. I played the fish toward shore and as it got close, a ray of sun broke through the low clouds and lit the fish just as it rolled on the surface. After releasing that fish I just sat on the rocky shore and relived what I had just seen. That brilliant golden moment will be with me forever.

Good for you on all 3 counts! Especially the last of the three!
As a lifelong “Bassman”, this video is real easy to appreciate. What a gorgeous run of water and surroundings and you sir, did a fantastic job bringing us the experience. Well done. Those Goldies are quite unique. I hope that little “glade of heaven” never changes.
Gorgeous fish from a gorgeous stream! Thanks for bringing us along!
Absolutely stunning fish! Nice work! One of my favorite videos of yours!
I've watched it 3 times bc it's incredible to see these gems. I'm in awe.
Absolutely epic. I can’t wait to try Tenkara this summer on my favorite Oregon river, the Siletz.
That was incredible, simply incredible. Great fish, great scenery, and great video!
Another great video keep them comming . They make Saturday morning coffee most enjoyable
Wow! Beautiful Goldens! Thanks!
Beautiful fish and beautiful location! WOW!
Okay, that was impressive. I'm glad you're trying to keep the location secret. A creek that size would easily be overwhelmed and over-pressured by crowds of fishermen. Frankly, I'm surprised someone told you about it. Glad you got to make a video but I would never "out" a creek that good, especially for a video going on the internet. I'm all about folks going out, exploring and putting in the time and work to find stuff like this. If someone shows up to any of my "secret spots" I welcome them, but I know they didn't hear about it from me. You're a lucky guy to be trusted with waters this great- keep up the good work.
Wow, what a stream! Reminds me of a creek I was gifted in Colorado, just a little creek most would drive past without a glance, but follow it in far enough and it's Shangri La!
That was amazing. Remarkable size and colors of those fish. Kudos to your viewer recommendation and to you for not giving up the location.

I've never saw golden trout as gorgeous as these. Unreal. Heaven on Earth.
Awesome! Consistently huge fish for not so huge water! That structure has my curiosity cant figure out what it is. Beautiful place! Thank you for sharing your adventures!
What a breathtaking place, and those special fish, Damm
Beautiful fish!! And beautiful countryside!
This is amazing! Those are fantastic Goldens for any moving water, but for one that is not the immediate outlet or inlet of an alpine lake, this is unreal! Congratulations!
Wow goldens are so beautiful fish stunning most beautiful in the trout family Love the videos thank you for sharing

WOW! You are just so very, very lucky; just wish it were me. It is fifty years since I caught a golden trout in a remote Scottish loch high in the NW Highlands.
What a great day with Beautiful fish. Goldens are special. Congratulations
Bucket list fish for me. Just gorgeous, and incredible size for that water. Holy moly.
Fawking awesome bro🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

Man props to whoever tipped you off to this spot, if I had found that stream I wouldn’t tell another soul and take it to my grave 😂 those are truly the most beautiful trout in the world
Wow, I haven't ever seen golden that big. The largest I ever caught were 7" and I thought those were huge. Amazing! Thanks for sharing.
I love that you don't share the locations where you fish. I used to fish small backcountry streams in Colorado many years ago and the adage "Loose lips crowd small streams" is very true. I used to make up names (Winding Creek was a fav) or just tell folks I couldn't remember the name. Love your channel - brings back fond memories of my younger days.
That spot is like a dream…those look like pure strain goldens to me, not unlike some photos I have seen when folks were first discovering these fish. Great video, really enjoy your channel, keep up the great work!

Those golden trout are not pure strain. Pure golden has 10 ovals along side of each side of their body they are one of the few trout that keep their ovals all the way till adulthood
Awesome video!

Wow!!! What a fish, man its hard to keep somthing that pretty!!
Some gorgeous trout you catch.Here in England we have only brown trout that are native wild trout.
Absolutely stunning fish. What is so cool is that this population has evolved to match their environment and be less visible. Look at the larger fractured rocks that make up the streambed. It also looks like their may be tannins or some mineral that is staining the water, again favoring those individuals with that coloration.
That's some pretty looking trout.
Those goldens are huge to be coming out of a creek that size! I can tell because their par marks are hardly visible. The largest golden trout I've every caught out of a small creek was only about 10". I would totally go through huge lengths to keep that creek a secret
Beautifully 👍👍👍
I watched it again. I'm just amazed. I do believe they are pure mature Goldens. No pressure. Clean pure water. I'm amazed.
Have you tried loop casting in tree/brush impeded areas? It does tend to put more line on the water but has worked well for me and my clan.
they sure are gorgeous
This creek is where I caught my first golden trout! Same pocket at 8:40. Well done!

Wild golden trout or one of my favorite they're usually remote and they are one of the tastiest wild trout
“Look at this fish it’s a twelve-incher”, love the concept but made me laugh as I live in Alaska. Nonetheless, sweet video!
Really well done video! I have enjoyed watching your vid’s. Keep it up. We should trade creeks sometime

Thank you Golden trout wilderness Tulare county California. Make sure you stop at the ranger station and get a wilderness permit. All of that area burned last year.
Lol you got your karma of not talking about spots almost instantly😂
Those were some thick fish! What was the remains of that structure in the last spot?
Love your videos. I would love to go and fish up west. Do you ever encounter bears or cougars

I've seen a cougar only one time. I usually see bears every year.
Some great size golden in such a small stream. Some unique coloration. Been a while since I caught some golden. The large ones can be more red than gold. I'm still partial to male brook trout in the fall. You do a lot of fishing and get around. How do you get so much time off? Is Tenkara paying for these trips or is this part of building your channel?
Simultaneously wishing I knew where it was and am glad you aren’t telling us

I have been fly fishing for awhile but just got a Dragontail 365, and yes it had a little to do with your recommendation. My question is what size tippet you are using? You are landing those pretty fast and I like that. I generally use 6X and 7X on my nice Euro rods but those have a nice reel if needed. Thank you in advance

I was just about to ask you what the prettiest fish you caught, or at least I was thinking of asking when you caught your first fish! I’d this still the case? 👏🙌🔥❤️
The remains of the gold mining dam were neat to see.
👍👍
Were the adipose clipped on some of the fish? Maybe it was just the angle you were holding them.
Wow. Fantastic. Beautiful fish.
