Amani, much respect for the hard work you put into all your videos, and your attitude is terrific. You have caught some really nice fish, and you do it consistantly. You have quickly become one of my favorite UA-cam fishing channels! Your enthusiasm is contagious. Great work!
Thank you for the kind words and I am glad you enjoy my content. If you think my channel playlists are already loaded up, you haven't seen anything yet. I'm just getting warmed up! Thanks you for tuning in.
Don’t even acknowledge the haters. We luv your enthusiasm and humor. Folsom’s water level has increased since your foray, maybe another trip to see the relatives?
Yeah, I was thinking about it. The high water levels in reservoirs have been tough on bank fishing but it all looks good. Folsom is usually a winter spot for me but this year, who knows!
The fishing is best in the lake when there is more current flowing through. Especially in the fall during a high water year. The steelhead/residents come down from the rivers to feed on the minnows that stack up on the drop offs of the river channels. We troll for the salmon when the rainbows aren’t in there. Glad you caught a few!
You seem to have this lake wired! I usually get some nice fish from the bank when it's cold. I saw several boats trolling out there and I figured they were mainly targeting Salmon. I'll be back out there when I'm in town visiting for the holidays and hopefully it is cold enough for the lake to have turned over. Thanks for tuning in and I hope you enjoy my content across my various playlists.
Thanks. I love making the content so there will be a lot more. I've been running around in these mountains and foothills for over 3 decades and have only had a camera for a little over a year and a half. I'm just warming up!
Glad you found my channel. My content is organized in playlists if you haven't discovered it yet. Hopefully it makes things easier. Thanks for tuning in. A lot more content to come.
Folsom, my home lake🤠. Nice to see you do good from the bank. I’m trolling out there catching rainbows, kings and the rare native rainbows(landlocked steelhead). 👍 Nice vid thanks again🤙🎣🎣
Yeah, In the couple of decades I spent living near the beach in Sand Diego, I had to drive to either the Eastern Sierra or the area east of Fresno to hit the kind of trout fishing I was looking for.
Thanks. I have a lot more like it throughout my various playlists and I plan to load up my channel with tons more in the days to come. I never seem to have enough time for all of the hiking and fishing I want to do! Thanks for tuning in.
Was looking to see if you posted a video on Folsom Lake. I am pretty sure I saw you fishing here. I was walking on the Aux Dam/levee behind you. I saw the hat - and you were fishing from the shore during the day time - those were my clues from having watched your videos, but was not sure until I saw this video. My son and I enjoy watching your videos and tips.
I reside in Minden, Nevada, on Johnson Lane just short of 50,000-acres of BLM land. There are 131-houses in the Skyline Ranch home owners association where I live. I bet 100-home owners here have never stepped one foot in the desert behind their house. I also bet the guy that is giving you a hard time about not being in the wilderness lives here. I have been walking a mile in the desert from my house and have seen 5 to 6-coyotes in a pack. If that isn't a true wilderness experience, I don't know what is. Too many couch potato haters in the world. Love the videos.
You are taking full advantage of what is readily available to you which is something the majority of people never look into. A wilderness experience to me is where ever you can steal a moment of that serenity that comes with being in the outdoors. I lived down in Mission and Pacific Beach for a couple of decades and when I was sitting out on a surfboard or swimming in the waves it was totally a wilderness experience for me even though the party raged on at the Boardwalk on the other side of the sand. It was serene out there and often a pod of dolphins would cruise buy just out of reach. There are often opportunities like the ones we describe all around us. Take the easy stuff!
Dont trip on people who hate what they can not do, haters going to hate what they can't imitate. I am glad you a have your channel miss you down here in la habra. Dont know how you did it
Right on. If you can, get out there as early as possible and be prepared to cast far and reel in fast, with your rod up high ,when you are checking your bait. Those giant boulders under the water are tough! Good luck!
It's low to be sure. Yeah, I wasn't so sure when I felt how warm the water was and how shallow everything was. I got a couple to add a little spice to the family visit.
Amani, trust that you had the opportunity to share time with family. Ignore the negative feedback, perhaps that person has not seen your clip when you encounter two bears and a rattlesnake on the same day. Keep in mind, the Blue Lakes in the Hope Valley area offer great fishing and isolation. I prefer Upper Lake. Please note, if you camp, use the bear boxes! Also, in the same area Tamarack Lake is a location you will appreciate, isolated. At Caples Lake and others I have been quite please casting a bobber, five feet of leader and a piece of a night crawler. I cut the night crawler into thirds, as it leaks into the water fish kill it. Personally, I am 0 for 3 on the Truckee River. Take care and be safe.
Thanks for the insight. I logged in some family time. They expect me to go fishing every time I'm in town. Been doing it when I show up around the Holidays for over 3 decades! I was mostly laughing about that guy. He didn't bother me in the least. I got a nice mac from shore at Caples but that was the only bite I got fishing sun up to sun down! Got a clip for that on my lakes and reservoir playlist. I have a bunch of clips for the Truckee on two playlists. I started fishing 1/.8 OZ jigs in the Truckee the first time I fished it last June and never looked back. That started my Truckee River Streak Playlist. Those jigs are tough to fish but with practice you can get through a day without losing one and you can hit some real nice trout. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind sentiment.
I want to get back out there next Winter. I fished all over that area for years as a younger dude. I've nailed a lot of nice fish off the shore there when it's cold.
Natoma is one of those places where I would sit and soak bait for hour with nothing but every so often I would hit a real nice trout weighing several pounds. The last 2 state record rainbows came out of Nimbus Flats and Negro Bar State Parks. I find the fishing to be best in that area across from the college rowing center in January and February. Don't go in with high expectations but if you get a fish to take your bait, don't miss that strike because you probably won't get another chance. I'll fish it again when I am visiting over the holidays.
Love the videos dude. I always go up 88 caples lake, Carson river, blue lakes. Would love to see you do a video at one of those spots. And question do you bass fish?
I don't bass fish any more much but I used to do it a lot when I was younger. I'm fairly skilled at it. I just put up a clip for the East Carson River. It's on my rivers playlist and I have a clip for Caples Lake on my lakes and reservoirs playlist. In the same area, I have a clip for Winnemucca Lake on my Alpine Lakes playlist and I have the hike to that lake out of the Carson Pass trailhead on my hiking playlist. I hope you enjoy that content and what ever else you might see on my various playlists that interests you. There is a lot more coming. Thanks for tuning in.
Hey Amani! Good to hang with you briefly. Is there any lake that you haven't fished at? Ignore the petty naysayers. You are providing a virtual fishing service, as well as educating and promoting good practices. And... you must really, really like fishing! I will be keeping one eye out for you starting Friday in the Truckee area...
I was mostly laughing about that guy. There are a lot of lakes I haven't fished and I won't stop until I hit them all! I will eventually get back over to the Western Side of the Sierra. I fished East of Fresno, Visalia, and Sonora for years. As soon as I have the time, I'll be back. I want to eventually have so many possible trailheads and fishing destinations on my channel it would take the average person over a decade to visit them all!
Thanks. I have a lot more like it on my various playlists that range from fishing to outdoor safety if you haven't discovered it yet and are interested. Thanks for checking out the clip.
@@wildernesswithamani1027 I FISH folsom a lot both shore and my boat love the cat fishing here and the bass love your vids on the truckee river have a brother that lives been wanting to hit boca and donner with the boat thanks for the great vids FISH ON !!
I've only fished Convict! The other two are on my radar for this year. My favorite area to fish in the Eastern Sierra has always been above Bishop. South Lake, Sabrina, and North Lake are all relatively close to one another and there is easily accessible stream fishing all throughout the area. I have clips for two of those lakes on my lakes and rivers playlist if you are interested. Where ever you go, just get out there and fish! Good times are awaiting you!
I like your videos, channel, enthusiasm.,.,, been a Northern California mountain fisherman for 70 year-----is there anyway to "private message " you to pass along some productive fishing spots that the whole world doesn't need to know about?
Keep those secret spots for yourself and those in the know! I typically fish spots for my channel that are visible from the road or near dams, boat ramps, and day use areas. It's all I do these days because if I have a day off, you see it on my channel! I have out of the way spots of my own I wouldn't feel right sharing with the world! Thanks for tuning in. I have a lot of content already up on my palylists and you can count on a lot more to come!
I was mostly laughing about that guy. Dude was relentless! I asked him if he greets the charter boats on the dock with angry signs when they come in with loads people every day who are keeping fish in Lake Tahoe! No answer!
Definitely give Folsom a shot when it gets cold. I'll probably hit icehouse lake over Thanksgiving and try Folsom over Christmas. I show up at at the house of the family I'm visiting by dinner time! At least by the late football game on Thanksgiving!
Guys like that are way too extreme and don’t understand the cycle. Keep grinding man, you doing what we all want to do and are doing at times. Great content!!
I can usually get into some good fish during the colder months. I'm definitely going to hit it up over the Holidays this years. Certainly visit the Mountains above Placerville as well.
It was $12 at Folsom Point where I was. Bring cash if you go to Folsom Point because there was no machine that could accept credit cards. I had no cash so I had to use an emergency check I keep in my wallet for just such an unexpected situation!
Man you dont gotta make excuses for nobody. Who gives a crap about haters? Your video’s are well-done and entertaining. And you know how to catch fish! Keep doin what you do!
@@xXGohan02Xx I was just laughing about it! I can't wait to get back into the area over the Winter during my usual visits. I'll hit Icehouse, Natoma, Folsom, everything before the Winter is through!
@@xXGohan02Xx I've seen it a lot lower. I got good fish the severe trout year the original Mormon Settlement was exposed. If there's so much as a puddle, I'll fish!
Amani,
I like that you make the best of any location and situation. You have a great attitude.
It was a bit warm for me on this trip but the pandemic kept me away from my usual winter time holiday visit. Sometimes you work with what you got!
Amani, much respect for the hard work you put into all your videos, and your attitude is terrific. You have caught some really nice fish, and you do it consistantly. You have quickly become one of my favorite UA-cam fishing channels! Your enthusiasm is contagious. Great work!

Yeah, the fish weren't big but I had a great time just chilling out there and enjoying the nature experience. Thanks for watching it.

Thankyou ☺️

Going to add this video phrase to my tackle box, "counting this as visiting" technique.
It Works! Once I enter the general vicinity, I turn the visiting-o-meter on!
Old stomping grounds looking forward to your next video 👍👍👍
Finally headed out there after everyone was vaccinated. I'll be heading out somewhere soon. Still haven't nailed it down yet.
Folsom, my home lake🤠. Nice to see you do good from the bank. I’m trolling out there catching rainbows, kings and the rare native rainbows(landlocked steelhead). 👍 Nice vid thanks again🤙🎣🎣
I have done really good there from the bank but it's always when it's cold in the winter. I was pushing it here!
So many good trouting lakes in NorCal. Wish we had those options here in SoCal. Nice work on this one dude.
Yeah, In the couple of decades I spent living near the beach in Sand Diego, I had to drive to either the Eastern Sierra or the area east of Fresno to hit the kind of trout fishing I was looking for.
