WILD TROUT | Fly Fishing, Camping & Cooking in Washington's Gifford Pinchot National Forest
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Jen and I set out in early July to do some fly fishing, camping and cooking in an area of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest that neither of us had been to before.
We explored around a small creek valley and fished for WILD TROUT for a few days and generally had the place to ourselves which was an absolute treat. It was a good chance for both of us to get away for a bit and BREATH or drink in the beauty of the place while recharging our own personal batteries.
Some of the highlights from the trip beyond the place itself were, the amazing sausages cooked on the fire from Portland Oregon's, Scratch Meats.

We devoured some smoked salmon caviar and smoked sockeye from Wildfish Cannery out of Klawock, Alaska. We felt like royalty and didn't feel guilty about it for one second.

The special spotlight beer for the episode was "Empty Bowl" farmhouse ale. This is a collaboration beer between Tacoma, Washington's E9 Brewing Co. and Seattle, Washington's Bizarre Brewing. This is one of the best beers I've had in recent memory. I enjoyed it so much that I bought a bunch more when we got home from the trip.

Thank you!

Ha! I got that book in the mail too. Apparently all us sinners and nonbelievers got them...🤣
I'm glad you caught that! Pretty silly stuff in my opinion.
What bed camper do you have on your Tacoma?
It’s the Four Wheel Campers Fleet model.
Butter Creek?
It's not, but it's not too far from there.
why? your on the interweb - no need to out anything. just enjoy the vid.
I like all the great audio to go along with scenes rather than music over everything
Thank you very much!
Excellent video man!! Good stuff! I just recently uploaded a fishing video as well and really enjoy your videos!! Keep it up!! 🤝🤝
Thank you so much! I've got a few really exciting one's in the works. Cheers!
I've hike the GPF extensively. Great video.
@@Honey-Sanchez thank you so much!
first time watcher of your vids. I live in the PNW and go up to the Gifford several times a year, love it up there. Did you custom make your cooking rails for the pop up fire pit? That looks super cool.
Yeah, it’s a pretty special place. I did make that cooking setup. I even made a little video about it. Cheers!

This was a lesson. Not in fly fishing for trout but how to lead a life well lived. At least in these condensed moments. I really enjoyed and honestly needed this. Thank you.
Thank you! Camping always has a way of showing you that slowing down is one of the greatest things that you can ever do for yourself. Cheers and thanks for watching!
What is the make and model of your camper?
It's a Four Wheel Camper Fleet model. It's certainly not the cheapest option around, but it fits our needs/wants quite well.
What a beautiful video! Thanks so much for sharing!
My wife and I frequent The Gifford Pinchot in the early summer and fall (as burn bans and snow levels permit) but we typically are hauling ass up to the high lakes in the area.
Thanks for reminding me to stop and enjoy all of it!
Yeah, I'm excited to get up to the high lakes over the n ext few months. I love fishing the so much. Cheers!
Your wife will love ocean camping on the beach in Olympic National Park in Washington State. Most beaches are very remote. You will think you're in paradise. The sea breezes are fresh and clean. The sound of waves is music to the ears. The stars at night are so bright as you lay on your back. It is so quiet. The problem? You have to go back to work the next day. And the parking lots are always full of cars just like Mt Rainier National Park. It's like a thousand cars there. Weekend camping is very popular spring and summer.
Great video! Couldn’t agree more about how being out in nature puts our worries into perspective. What weight rod were you using?
It's so true. For a small creek like this I use a 7'6" 1wt! It's so much fun with these smaller wild fish. Also easier to cast in tight spaces.
I know this video was a year ago, just ran across it looking for good fishing in the PNW, but where would this location be and what creek or river is this.
That’s my home water, I have fished that creek for 20 years. Please don’t tell anyone I where this, that creek has suffered enough and gets worse every season.
You are lucky to have that as your home water. I can only imagine what that poor little creek has seen. My lips are sealed. Thanks for watching.
I just want to compliment you on a nice video that does not "Hot Spot" a vulnerable little creek! Very ethical and courteous as the fun is really getting out oneself and discovering these little jewels. Wish more UA-cam content producers and fisherfolk who post would take your lead! Well done.
@@whitefishfins thank you so much and I couldn’t agree with you more. The exploration and the adventure are the best part. The fishing is just the icing on the cake.
@@prolificnorthwestright on with the vid but not disclosing exact location, more and more humans in the Gifford every year.
@@ryanstewart1521 Thank you! This is always tough. There is a fine line between gatekeeping and hot spotting. At the end of the day, it's really all about exploring for me. I found this place by looking at a map, then driving up there and exploring it and I'm glad I did, it was more rewarding. Cheers!
Crystal clear water and wild trout! Looks like an amazing trip!
It really was! Putting my 1wt to work!
Thanks for sharing another great production. Music and images were excellent! I can appreciate the feeling of wildness and newness.
Thank you for the kind words! More fun videos in the works.
sick drone shots
@@kraptastic333 thank you so much!
I think you managed to convey the tranquility and the relaxation from your trip in the video really well. Really love the video and I'm definitely subscribing for more
Thank you so much! Those are inspiring words and I really appreciate it. More fun videos in the works. Cheers!
@@prolificnorthwest Have you camp on the remote beach of the Olympic National Park in Wasghington State? You can hear the waves as you sleep in the tent. You can look at the stars as you lay on your back. There is no light pollution on the remote beach. It is so quiet. Just you and nature.
@@LaoSoftware I have! It's such a beautiful place.
Great one! We are going this next week camping, thinking north Cascades.
Awesome! Have fun!
Have fun bro!
Love these videos thank u so much! I think its kinda funny that your eating a $16 can of salmon while catching and releasing these trout lol
Ha! Yeah, I suppose there is some irony there. It’s pretty amazing salmon. Glad you are enjoying the videos. Cheers!
@@prolificnorthwest I actually just ordered several for my next camping adventure! Can’t wait :)
@@ChefAlexSocci That's awesome. You won't be disappointed. The folks behind it are all super good people as well. Enjoy!
Stellar videos man! Look forward to following your journey too 🤙
Thanks man, I really appreciate it. I look forward to seeing more of your stuff as well. Really been digging what you are putting together! Cheers!
If this video doesn't make you relaxed, I suggest medication 👍🏼👍🏼😃
Awesome! Thank you for watching!
Fantastic video
Thanks!
This is pro quality material to say the least! How off trail is this creek?
Thank you so much. It's not too far off trail at all.
I want to go..LORD help me get to this place of yours !! Before I dieeee 😢
It’s a beautiful place. Tons of amazing pockets to explore up there. Cheers!
@prolificnorthwest thank you brother both daughter's live in Washington , 8m from calibroknia lol California. I do solos her in the sierras mountain one day I'll travel up yonder GOD bless
Great video. We lived in Washington for thirty years and backpacked into some of the high lakes with one our boys. If you get a chance let me know what fire pan you're using. That looks like a great foldable one and your grate fits perfect. Thanks again and keep them coming.
Thank you so much! Yeah Washington really is such a beautiful place. The fire pit is the Fireside Outdoors Pop Up Pit. We love that thing. It’s compact and very versatile. The grates are a modification that I did awhile back. I actually made a video about it. Check it out if ya like. It works well in most situations but your mileage may vary if you go that route. The fire pit company also sells grates that look pretty good. I just tried to use what I had on hand. Thanks for watching!
@@prolificnorthwest never mind on my question above, I will watch your video. should have read through comments first. ;)
@@Ripx510 all good. Cheers!
👍👍👍
Thank you!
blessed waters
Pretty special place!
You know youre in murica when all the signs in the bush have bullet holes
