Thanks for watching! They should be stocking again towards the end of the year when it cools down. They usually stock a good amount of rainbows and lightning trout around that time. Tight lines! 🎣
Man my buddies went to Diamond Valley last week. I was gonna go but the rain on Tuesday set me back on work so I had to finish framing some walls and couldn’t go. They said it was awesome. Definitely where I’m going next!
No problem! We appreciate you watching the videos. We usually use 4lb test p-line floroclear and tie it straight to the mini jig. Recently switched over to 2lb test izor line xxx. Can’t go wrong with the 4lb test though.
Welcome to the channel and thanks for subbing! The lightning trout do look pretty animated with their vibrant colors. They stick out like a sore thumb when they are swimming around the lake. If you have any questions about trout fishing let me know. Follow us on Instagram at @explorenaturescatch if you have one! 🎣
Rules should include 100 yard clearance from designated shore fishing areas. As shore anglers are limited where they can fish to only specific shorelines.
@@MavHntr Very true. I think they are stated but no one enforces it. There’s a lot of instances where boats literally pull up right in front of you and you can literally lob the bait/lure in their boat.
Great fishing!! I am about 1 hour away I plan to go with my son this month. Seen some OF your videos you guys nail it on fish on!!! keep up the fishing might see you out there be safe.
Thank you for watching! Try to make it out there around when they stock the lake so you have a better chance at the fish. They usually post it on their Facebook page when they are going to stock. See you out on the lake! 🎣😁
@@bobbydeleon8303 True, the first day is a mad house. Definitely takes away a little bit of the fun. I’m debating whether I want to go the first day or not.
Donald Stephensen Thank you! We were on the left side of the lake (facing the lake). We usually go to the right side and do really well over there as well.
Cam you share where you guys were fishing at diamond lake, I've always wanted to fish there and now you are giving me more motivation to ho there, THANKS👍👍👍👍
Your best shot at catching some nice trout would be right after they stock the lake. They usually stock once a month and sometimes even twice a month. In this video we were on the left side of the lake (when you are facing the lake). The right side is a really popular area as well. There’s more coves on the right side. A lot of the trout like to hide out in the coves after a stock but also swim back and forth along the shoreline. Good luck! Thanks for watching!
Congrats guys is the area you fished far from the parking I haven’t fished there probably in about 10 years or so but the popular spots were the first 2 coves
This area wasn’t too far. About 5 minutes on the left side. The first 2 coves on the right side are still the popular spots. All the fish seem to like to hang out in those coves. 🎣
Found you kids out of nowhere and I’m glad you get me pumped up for fishing. Me and wifey are heading up the ✨395✨to do some camping and trout hunting. Wish us luck.~ML&Aloha Your Boy Kekoa&Ohana.🏜🤙🏽🌵
Thanks for watching Kekoa. Much appreciated. Good luck when you get out there! We love it out in the eastern Sierra. We try to at least go a few times a year. Maybe one day we will run into you guys. Let us know how you do! 🍻🎣🤙🏻
shiloh hoover You will. I don’t think they have lightning trout at June lake but they do have really good fighting cutthroat trout. Can’t wait till we head out there also.
They got another decent plant, got some buddies that killed it out there. Fun video dude. As for your question, I caught them first where they are native now in Utah ..but they are called Albino Trout. "Lightning Trout" is just a marketing term given to them in the last few years to sell to lakes here in SoCal. They are fun fish to catch, fight a little different than bows and such. Nice edits on this one as always.
Urban Outdoorsman Thank you. They definitely put up a decent fight especially with their full tails. I’m happy Kristine finally hooked into one. The last time I’ve fished in Utah was over 12 years ago. I believe the place was called strawberry reservoir. Big fish out there.
Logan Netherton Fishing The only place we caught them so far is diamond valley lake. They usually start to stock the lightning trout when it cools down. They also stock them at Santa Ana river lakes, hemet and lakes in San Diego. The lakes normal announce it when they start to stock.
That was a nail biter. I was nervous and knew it was already in the bag from the post. I bet your heart was racing and anxiety was high. I was like don't loose it bro, she's gonna push you in the water.😳 🙌 🤙#teamwork
Mike Gonzales No weight above the mini jig. The mini jig itself is 1/32 oz. We did however use a Carolina set up on the mice tail for the lightning trout. 😁🎣
Have you ever guys used the Mini Jig Pinhead setup they have for Bass Pro Shops it comes with like a hundred and five pieces do you know anything about them
Generally the right side has a lot more trout as they don't have to swim nearly as far to get to the left. But the right side also has more people - makes sense as that's where the majority of the fish are (other than the dock where you cannot fish...)
Daniel Lee thank you! It’s been once a month and they announce it on their Facebook page “Diamond valley marina”. Usually on a Tuesday and you can fish them starting Wednesday. I heard the next trout stock is the last one..
Where did you catch your first lightning trout?
Santa Ana River Lakes on a Orange/White minijig lol....4lbs!! But haven’t caught one in months
Garrett Dubocq nice! We haven’t been to that lake in a long time. I know they have some huge ones in there.
In lake hemet
Ochoa's Alfonso nice! We haven’t been out there in a long time. Hopefully soon. 🎣
chabot
Best thing ever is having a wife that fishes. Good job on those nice ones!
Definitely agree with you on that!
She did great! Awesome battle
Thanks Nick! 😁
The super loose drag is driving me insane.
U guys are just the best 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 I'll be there the 10th to learn from you guys
Supper
Thank you very much! 😁
wow that is big! learned about another beautiful place to take the fam due to you video. thank u keepin comin!
Thanks for watching! They should be stocking again towards the end of the year when it cools down. They usually stock a good amount of rainbows and lightning trout around that time. Tight lines! 🎣

Thank you! It was an exciting day, that’s for sure! 😁🎣

Did you end up going this past week? I heard a lot of fish were dead from the last stock. We haven’t made it out there yet for this season.
really nice fishes...is that a word?
Thank you! Yeah those lightning trout look really unique. They stick out like a sore thumb in the water.
Nice video guys. Great to see a woman enjoy fishing as much as us men. 👍🇺🇲
MiJeepito Thank you. She definitely loves it 😁. She makes all the fishing adventures that much better.
Walk into the water for that fish
I went shins deep. Any further then I would have dropped off into the abyss! Lol 😆
Dammit boy!
Love you guys!
Jeffrey Calzada Thanks for watching! 😁🎣
One more time, from this old codger: it is soooo cool to see a woman out fishing with the guys and doing extremely well!
Yes indeed! My thoughts exactly! 😁
what size berkley jig did yall use?
1/32 oz on most of the jigs we use.

that drag had me stressing on that first yellow 8:00
Lol same here. The big tail on that lightning gave it some propelling power! 😆🎣
I’m new to the channel and to fishing in general...I’ve never seen a fish like that I thought it was a Pokémon

Those lightning trout are beautiful fish!
wolf pack Definitely. Hopefully they start stocking this lake again soon so we can get back out there. 🎣
why are the boaters all over the bank fishermen areas? They have the entire lake to fish.
Yeah it gets pretty bad at this lake. I’ve seen a lot of arguments because of that reason.

FshnPro Thank you. It’s so close but we haven’t been fishing lately ever since covid 19. Hopefully soon! Stay safe out there.
You guys need to learn about setting your drag other than that you guys were spot on.
Thank you bro. 🎣
Good job Kristine. Beautiful fish for a beautiful lady.

I did see there stocking it January 5 2021 I will try to make it out there the fallowing week can't wait!!! Also stocking some Lighting trout!!
@@bobbydeleon8303 yup! I just saw that as well. Glad they have lightning trout on this stock.
@@ExploreNaturesCatch I want to go on the boat with my boys week after less people fishing.
@@bobbydeleon8303 True, the first day is a mad house. Definitely takes away a little bit of the fun. I’m debating whether I want to go the first day or not.
tighten the frickin drag dude!
Hi. My wife and evil dog just met you at Silverwood!
Hey! It was great meeting you guys. We ended up catching a couple more trout near the marina. Hope you guys had a great time out there. 😁🎄🎣
Awesome video where you guys fishing at dv.never been there

Cool video on my home lake nonetheless. Keep up the great work!
Thank you. Hopefully the Covid 19 will clear up soon and we can all head back out there to catch some fish.
My 2 lb line would have snapped ! I ready for the next stock gonna use 5 lb braid💪🏼 lost 3 lights
Snd Nes We will be there too. Dang 3 lightning! That’s heart breaking. Mini jigs? I had no love from the Lightning’s lol only Kristine. 😆🎣

You allowed to keep the fish their?
Yup you sure are. They usually start stocking the trout in the colder months. Rainbow and lightning trout.
Damn I should have gone there today. Yucaipa regional did nothing this week (today).
ERIC B We haven’t been to that lake yet. DVL definitely produced for us this day! 😁
Where do you catch these? I live in Bakersfield Ca and would love to go fish for these

@logan netheron they just stocked em at bv lake by taft

Way to go Christian good job 👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣 you where killing it out there!!!
trout bandit Orona thank you! Such an amazing day! 😁
are you using a weight just above the jig?? Great Videos , thanks
Mike Gonzales No weight above the mini jig. The mini jig itself is 1/32 oz. We did however use a Carolina set up on the mice tail for the lightning trout. 😁🎣
Have you ever guys used the Mini Jig Pinhead setup they have for Bass Pro Shops it comes with like a hundred and five pieces do you know anything about them
Leonardo Romero hmm not to sure about that. I was looking for it on the basspro website but can’t find it.
What side of the lake is this ?
Alexis DeAlba left side (facing the lake) but it got pretty dead after the morning. Saw some people coming back with big ones from the other side.
Generally the right side has a lot more trout as they don't have to swim nearly as far to get to the left. But the right side also has more people - makes sense as that's where the majority of the fish are (other than the dock where you cannot fish...)
Nice catches! Do you know when they stocked the lake?
Daniel Lee thank you! It’s been once a month and they announce it on their Facebook page “Diamond valley marina”. Usually on a Tuesday and you can fish them starting Wednesday. I heard the next trout stock is the last one..
