Hey Mike, Like your last video you really know how to pick the great days on trail! Looking very rugged and the slot canyons looked a bit challenging and beautiful but another great angling adventure! Thanks again for sharing! Tenkara Rookie!

Nice day on the water fish or no fish. Thanks for taking us along

You’re rad Mike! Thanks for sharing

Awesome brother ! Great adventure

I’ve caught hundreds of browns up there and a few Brooke’s way back in 1991 or so

Finally went today for the first time glad I have 4x4 parked 3mins away no way was my truck making it down the last stretch also @4:12 that rock that looks like a pyramid sticking out of the water there is a trout under that came out 3 times bite once that’s was it ,@18:33 I landed one and lost 3 no bites for me today at the pool with the waterfall

do these native trout ever get bigger ? Ive seen other vids of people fishing the sb mountains and they all look about the same size.

Beautiful creek and some nice wild rainbows landed. What a great hike/fish adventure! Good thing it did not get completely trashed during Covid... Thanks for sharing! See ya in Lone Pine!

I know exactly where thats at. Great spot to fish

I understand if not, but care to share a location? Looked amazing.

I've been in few creeks over and over and know them well from many years ago. I appreciate your deep dives of the entire area. 👍

Where is this at brotha..?

this year, in the area to the west of you, I was fishing an old split bamboo, with a grasshopper fly and caught a 13" natural, (on vintage caine) it was awesome

This looks like the Jenks lake area

You should fish with a single barbless hook when fishing for native California Rainbow Trout and always catch and release. The stocked Rainbows are the ones for keeping and eating. Cool video. People should watch this so they can tell the difference between stocked and native rainbow trout. There are hybrids too. They look like in between. Santa Ana? Lytle??

beautiful, looks cold

Just found your channel a couple months ago but love the vids so far. I recently went to three interviews for a new dealership job, everything went great and they told me they'd schedule me for the final physical/drug screening for the hire on process in a week. I submitted my two weeks at the shop I was at, they even threw me a lil bbq. Then, they called me monday to let me know they were no longer interested.. screwed out of two jobs lol. Gotta keep on keepin on brother, the times may be tough but we are tougher. Things will work out for the best, stay positive!

Been in the workforce for awhile. Been fired. Done quit. Been hired. Each job turned out to be better than the one before. Hang in there a brighter day is just around the corner. And keep fishing. I love that frustrating river too. See you out there some time.

Keep your head up man. I’m an electrician and last year I got a job I was SO excited about and was going to start in 3 weeks so I took a spur of the moment trip to Hawaii with my girlfriend and on the first day into a week long trip I got a call saying they were moving in another direction I was devastated and it was hard to have a good time but things worked out for the better. I know you’ll do just fine man things really do happen for a reason sometimes

I was dumped by an employer, after 17 years of service, to save him money and time over training me for a new technology. This occurred immediately on my return from my vacation which had consumed all of my otherwise available vacation pay. My state locked down about ten days later. After seven months of unemployment, I was hired and now work in the very same technology that this fool employer deemed it too costly to train me in. I went from being a salaried employee working 55-hour weeks with uncompensated overtime and being berated by a drunken boss to one now earning twice as much working for a decent and appreciative family-run operation, and for the first time in my life breaking the six-figure income barrier with only a 32-hour week. May this happen to all of you that put in the effort and deserve it.

Keep your head up. Thanks for the video 👍. Watching from Kingman Arizona

Sorry to hear about the employment issue, Mike. Keep your head up, everything is for a reason. You'll find something better, life always works out that way!

Hey Mike, Happy Birthday! Sorry to hear about your employment... You got it figured out! Another get away to the Eastern Sierra to digest it all and as always some fishing and great campsites! Looking forward to more Vids! Hope to meet up in Lone Pine for that beer I owe you! BTW Horseshoe Meadows in the future! Take care AMZ!

Its a special place and I am privileged to be able to visit it

Just absolutely epic man! Angeles is my home forest. We got the SG River. It’s got native rainbows as well as stockers, but the SA River, from what I heard has browns and brook trout too. Have you ever caught any other species of trout there before? Just curious. I would love to see an update video from up there this fall. Keep the awesome content coming. Really really cool! Cheers!! 🍻

that is such a great area to explore. my favorite is out in the miter basin. a close second is out over trail pass to the southfork of the Kern, golden trout creek, little Whitney meadow and over to volcano creek and meadows. goldens in their natve waters. drop to the kern for the best backcountry fishing in the Sierra Nevada. so many incredible backcountry fly fishing options from horseshoe meadows. cottonwood lakes 1-4 are only open to fishing late in the year . usually in September. it can be tough to fish there as well. lots of pressure once they are open. 4 out of the 5 times ive been there its been gale force windy. have to get lucky and have a day with no wind. i usually have to spin fish there and have the most success with a clear float a 5x leader to a dry or a beadhead nymph. the bubble allows me to cast through the wind, far out to the middle of lake where they tend to be. in the mornings and evenings soft plastic jigs are excellent working the rock structures on all of the lakes. in that area, i prefer long lake right before new army pass. same size goldens as cottonwood lakes, better camping and open the whole summer, im able to fly fish.

Great fishing action! Thanks for sharing!!! I fished that area a couple of years ago the cottonwood creek full of little golden and the lakes for bigger golden. oh and i spent a night at the cottonwood lakes campground

Unfortunately this is most of the area affected by the line fire over the past week. My cousin and I frequently rode our dual sports down to the backside of the dam it’s such a beautiful area. Thank you for posting this.

Very cool. I have decided that fishing there is likely not in my future. I have enough opportunities an hour away. So I will leave it to you and your intrepid viewers and lower the pressure. I really enjoyed this. Grew up fishing that region. Thank you and keep adventuring!

I did this in High country Nevada and it was the same. very narrow but the trout I caught had very orange bellies even more than yours. Its hard to fish these areas which is a good thing for nature and the trout.

I've been down there couple times

Hey Mike, Awesome Angling and Congratulations on landing a handful of Golden Trout! There is a lot of brush but possibly try your luck at Tuttle Creek! Worth a look... Enjoy the Holiday weekend! \'''/

Hey Mike, good video. I'm curious, I have a similar truck, do you mind me asking what travel trailer you have/ pull with it? Also think it would be fun if you through a little of the camping in for the sites you visit. Thanks!

What was your total catch for the day?

Nice ramble

You cut half the ride off starting at the tunnel

Can you camp overnight there?

Mike- fantastic video! I was down this road quite a while back. I am remebering the road ending at the reservoir 10 years ago and the stream being covered in undergrowth? Its criminal that with such good casting in the stream there are no fish. Really appreciate the great video

Hey Mike, That was a heck of a stretch of trail to get to the lower section of the Santa Ana River! Tropical storm Hillary last year looked like it just changed that entire watershed and fishing, lower and upper river! You gave it your best shot on the water & sacrificing the truck to get down there! Thanks for the Video footage! I would like to make it to the Mtb trail this fall and try my luck on the Santa Ana...

Your video makes a good argument for sticking to surf fishing in SoCal.

Have you ever tried to reach the power house from santa anda rd/ 1n13? Last time i took the trail in this video I decided not to go back that route because of the condition of the road. I really want to get back to the power house and the bridge along the river because there has been great fishing for me in those spots. But, if there isnt a more comfortable route, then I iust might to take that area off my fiahing list.

The walker in beginning looked great for nymphing or I would bust out the euro rig there. Just because your not seeing surface eats their usually chowing on nymphs along the bottom. Just a helpful hint.

Nice work and awesome fishing! Just a heads up, wearing gloves while handling trout removes the protective slime that acts as their immune system and contributes to post release mortality.

East Flats!

Mike, get yourself a Thermacell to deal with those mosquitos. You'll thank me later. Fish on!

Great vid Mike! Keep them coming! Gods country! 🙏🌲✝️🙏
