I want to hike down into that meadow I showed below and fish the West Walker river. It looks like great access. Snow should clear out in the high country after this heat wave so it's time to start building on my backcountry hiking and fishing playlists.

Great Hike Wilderness with Amani. Thx for taking me along.

Right on. Hiking is going to be happening a lot from now into the fall. At least, there's definitely going to be a lot of backcountry fishing.

Absolutely beautiful up there, thank you for sharing.I love your hicking journeys. I'm too crippled up to do anymore. Keep them coming, 👊

I didn't get jack so I'll be going back soon with what my experience suggests to me will be more productive. I saw big risers out in the middle and had a real nice brookie follow my jig right up to the shore before swimming off. Don't be surprised if I am fishing here this month.

That was a nice hike - Poore lake does look big on the map - Secret lake is close by - hope things worked out over there 🎣👊👍

The lake is huge.

When you got to top of saddle, by big tree. You need to cut to right. Decent trail down to lake. Fish by outlet stream, further down lake by end under big tree Other yhan Kirman, some of tje nicest brookies around

I'm going to power back out there. I struggled with what I had on me so I've already ordered some stuff I think will work better.

Great video. I've been to Roosevelt and Lane a few times (on my way to Fremont) and for some reason never went to Secret or Poore. I also never took the quick little side trip to that stretch of the West Walker. I caught a huge Brookie from Lane one year (like submarine sized) but never fished them much b/c I was always in a rush to get to Fremont and beyond. Now....I feel like I've been to Poore. I think you'll have a chance at something 20+ at Poore b/c Lane and Roosevelt have them.

I didn't get anything. I had one big brookie follow my jig up to the shore but that's all I saw other than thick schools of baby trout everywhere along the shore and good size risers way out in the middle I had no chance of reaching. I just ordered some stuff I think will work next time and I plan to head back out there as soon as it gets reasonably cooler. I am loading up on things that look like those baby trout.

I have archery hunted deer all over that entire area and not once did I come across or heard of Poore Lake. If it wasnt on Google maps I would have sworn you made it up lol

Right on. It didn't seem like there was even a trail that went directly to the lake other than lightly traveled routes and I saw no sign of any campsites and very little evidence people even went there often.

Thanks for the video. I hiked there years ago. I hiked toward Secret Lake, and then bushwhacked cross country down to the lake. Didn't catch a lot of fish, but caught two very big brookies.

I need to go back after seeing that big brookie. I just didn't have what I needed. My usual alpine lake stuff just wasn't cutting it. I have to go back and see if I can do better. I have to! I walked the whole lake shore and I didn't see any main trail into there or even many signs of humans. I think the bushwhacking route we both took is the way in.

Finally a video that talks about this place!

I have a tough time fishing but I know there are big trout in there because one followed my jig to the shore. I'm putting up a short clip that breaks down the day of fishing. I have already ordered stuff that looks more likt those baby trout. I plan to go back sooner than later to try again with more suitable stuff. I also plan to hit Roosevelt and Lane.

@@wildernesswithamani1027 thanks for the heads up, I’ve tried digging all over the internet for more info on this place because I’m not to far out in Modesto, from everything I’ve gathered it seems the consensus is that it’s a tough fishery

It is my go to - I have to never worry about spoiling, provides protein , carbs and sugar! It gets me through some serous backpacking / day hike adventures long days.

spot burning like this will ruin fisheries. Just as the other lakes in the area have declined due to social media. The views are not worth the detriment. Good thing its an EXTREMELY tough fishery with rough terrain as well. RESPECT THE RESOURCE

I have over 5 dozen lakes on my backcountry playlist and what you claim will happen simply hasn't to any of them. Most people get to hike into the backcountry, at most, a couple of times a year so maybe in a couple of decades they can fish it all. What about sites that have been up for years like fly fishing the sierra?. Detailed maps on every fishery in the sierra with types of fish and what to use. They even give driving directions to the trailhead. Search up "good trout fishing lakes in the Sierra" or "10 best short hikes around Bishop". This information has been online for decades and it sure has a hell of a lot more detailed information than my short clips. That's why I only have to spend 10 minutes researching hikes and alpine lake fishing. Ever heard of AllTrails? GPS coordinates to every trailhead in this country and GPS that will take you right up to the lake you are hiking to along with user testimony to tell you how the lakes are. I get it, shiny object in front of you. Go watch something else chowboy44. RESPECT REALITY.

looking forward to the fishing video of this lake.

The fishing video is a breakdown of how my failed day went. I simply didn't have the specific things I needed. I have already ordered a few things. My "business as usual" in alpine lakes wasn't applying here.
