My back yard. I love Yosemite. Its a blessing living close by

Love these videos! This guy is electric!

Fishing San Francisco's water supply!😁 Enjoying the content! Keep it up.

Soooo pretty!!!

Those mossy granite rocks are amazing too.

The fist thing I thought about was Huell Howser he has a story & ya can’t forget that name of the area your in. But there’s been a few things in my life that wowed me & going through Yosemite was one of them it’s spectacular.

I like the way you fish flies with a bobber and your spinning outfit. I remember fishing a stocked reservoir my dad took me to in CA when I was a kid. I was fishing with salmon eggs and marshmallows or something like that. I look over to a ledge above me where someone was fishing with a clear bubble and a shaggy looking bait tied a few feet below it. He'd cast out and reel in slowly, and to my astonishment hooked into a big trout. I now know he was probably fishing a wooly bugger or something like it. I'll always remember that and have always thought that was a badass way of going after trout. I'm glad you like that method as well!

Love fishing memories like that! - I just feel so much more comfortable with a spinning combo in my hands, when I use a fly rod it’s like holding a foreign object.

Badass!

So many people complain about California and its high prices but hey, you can see what we have to protect right? Yosemite is a gem of the planet for sure!

Nice to see your channel gaining traction. I remember when you started. Those were surely bear tracks.

Great fishing again. Since you are in the Yosemite area, may try to fish Merced river and Lumsden bridge at South Fork Tuolumne. Tight lines.

Thanks for the tips!

I wish I discovered this when I was working in California last year. It was hard getting good information on trout fishing.

If you look on PBS they have a documentary called "from wilderness to water" that shows the building of Hetch Hetchy dam. The reservoir has a granite basin and is some of the most pristine water in the world.

I was down there on the last day of the season last year. Caught a couple of nice browns and say a massive rainbow in one of the deep pool but couldn’t get it to hit anything. Love that area.

Mountain lions have four toes and can retract their claws like your normal domesticated house cat. These show 5 toes and claws extended while walking. Look at the size of the prints. Also, it's below Hetch Hetchy, well-known for bears and rattlesnakes if not anything else. It's a black bear's prints.

Little bear tracks. Bears cannot retract their claws, so they leave claw marks. 👍

Mountain lion tracks do not usually show their claws. I think you saw a young bear track. I would definitely be carrying Bear spray.

I’m not 100% sure. California regs have been VERY confusing and all over the place and I would hate to post the wrong info.

they don't care about weight given a proper rigging. In.a river that swift, you almost certainly need weight. Double fly rig wont get down for like, 10 seconds into your drift, if ever.

Those are bear tracks

Nice video! Don’t lift them in the net like that, can tear up their mouths. They aren’t build like bass where their jaws can support their entire body weight.

The water is still too high.

up at that elevation, rattle snakes exist, but limited. I haven't seen any poison oak around Yosemite or in the back country up there. He should be worried about the mountain lions and bears though.

Isn't the beauty of nature majestic? How could anyone see all of this and think it was created by anything other than billions of years of evolution and random chance?

More people are attacked. Buy black bears and any other beer on the planet, so you definitely need to keep your head on a swivel and make sure that you carry your bear spray forgot
