I used to fish that Creek going camping when I was a kid back in the early 2000's :) good times

My Happy Place!

Thanks for all the great videos

I've been using Pautzke salmon eggs since about 1981. I've caught many fish in Hat Creek with the salmon eggs. I started going up to Hat Creek about the same time. Been fishing there every year since. I use 2lb test later in the year when the water flow diminishes

Im so jealous lol nice video guys , glad you had a great day fishing

I've fished every inch of Hat Creek up and down hiway 89 and 44 (since I actually lived there for years). Last visit was horrifying, severe damage, burned hillsides, homes and businesses completely gone. Absolutely tragic.

Yeah it sucks and is tragic but the forests in California are designed to burn pretty regularly. Looking back through history the state has always had huge droughts leading to a lot of forest fires before man was ever doing anything to the environment. I mean heck, the giant sequoias in Yosemite can’t even reproduce without forest fires. That tells you right there how regular and common forest fires are to middle to northern part of the state. That is one huge risk to living in forested mountains in a state that has drought most of the year.

I moved to old station which is where you guys are fishing I have caught many fish in hat creek I grew up here and it’s amazing my PB in hat creek is 24 inches and 5.4 pounds

My favorite camping and fishing area since I was a boy

Awesome video 👍thumbs up

Saludos a migo que buena pesca

Nice fishing! One thing I've noticed about planters is they're very heavily spotted whereas wild fish loose the spots towards the belly and the face.

I was camping up the river you can almost see the campsite

No fish there this year hit every campground and nothing... I just returned...Caught some nice ones at Cassel at the powerhouse though thanks to some advice from a local.

@@TeamPautzke would you be able to tell me if on average there are larger trout more towards upper hat creek like old station and Lassen or more towards Baum lake?

Worms catch more than eggs

You came to California to catch stockers lmao

We sure did. And we've caught massive salmon, huge halibut, big bass, kokanee and everything else. Stocked trout in a huge thing in California. Thanks for watching - and stay positive!

Old Station, Ca has amazing fishing spots at Cave Campsite that hat creek runs into! If you follow it down stream from Cave Camp you’ll get to Burney falls / Castle also has massive trout. Enjoy 👍

Hahahaha I always out fish any fly fisherman I’m ever around. Thing is I actually use some hand tied jigs and flies but never on a fly rod. One time I was shad fishing and I literally was catching 10 fish to everyone that three fly guys were able to land and I heard them say amongst themselves that they were going to bring the spinning year the next day!! Lol

Fishing with salmon eggs for stocked fish is for kids

Bro look, I do generally fish with artificials and CnR most of what I catch but a tug is a tug! I admit a couple times a year I truck chase because I know of a couple places where they plant monster trout that are raised in ponds and actually have pink meat but I still fish with artificials for them just to get some tug on my line. The tug is my drug man!

People could be doing a lot worse things than fishing in a stream with salmon eggs! You sound like some crotchety old man who hates everyone.

Bait casting...🙄

Why dont you stop trying to tell the ones catching the fish how to fish? Thats so annoying to know what you are doing and to have someone over your shoulder "take your time, thats a big fish, take your time" Let the people fish ffs
