      That first fish you caught was definitely pure. I think those are the most beautiful goldens I have seen in a creek. I know of one place to catch them here in a creek where I live but they don’t seem to get that big. Pretty amazing thanks for sharing !

    One of my faves of your videos. I can tell that you are just in awe over Goldens. The clear highlight of my fishing life occurred when I hooked a big Golden right at dusk at an 11K' lake in the Sierras. I played the fish toward shore and as it got close, a ray of sun broke through the low clouds and lit the fish just as it rolled on the surface. After releasing that fish I just sat on the rocky shore and relived what I had just seen. That brilliant golden moment will be with me forever.

    @chadlewis3515 2 роки тому +2

    Okay, that was impressive. I'm glad you're trying to keep the location secret. A creek that size would easily be overwhelmed and over-pressured by crowds of fishermen. Frankly, I'm surprised someone told you about it. Glad you got to make a video but I would never "out" a creek that good, especially for a video going on the internet. I'm all about folks going out, exploring and putting in the time and work to find stuff like this. If someone shows up to any of my "secret spots" I welcome them, but I know they didn't hear about it from me. You're a lucky guy to be trusted with waters this great- keep up the good work.

    Those goldens are huge to be coming out of a creek that size! I can tell because their par marks are hardly visible. The largest golden trout I've every caught out of a small creek was only about 10". I would totally go through huge lengths to keep that creek a secret

    What is so cool is that this population has evolved to match their environment and be less visible.
    Look at the larger fractured rocks that make up the streambed. It also looks like their may be tannins or some mineral that is staining the water, again favoring those individuals with that coloration.

I'm still partial to male brook trout in the fall. You do a lot of fishing and get around. How do you get so much time off?
