Right on brother. The adventures will continue. I'm glad you watch. Trout season is around the corner so it will be time to expand the target zone. The rivers are going to get ugly for a spell but I'll find something to do.
It just seemed like a bit much! You could launch from Sand Harbor, Cave Rock, or a number of different places and have a way better shoreline to enjoy and only pay $10. Using a plane for that in Tahoe is like driving a tank to the local convenience store. It's just not necessary!
I'm not saying it when I say it's like you are all out there with me. It makes the dialogue easy when I just talk like you are all right there next to me.
If I had a smoker that would change a lot but I'm not looking to stick one on the deck of my apartment and make my neighbors hate me! Those big Tahoe rainbows are prime for smoking. Probably comes out just like salmon.
Right on. Good luck out there. Between my fishing tips playlist and then the information I provide during my fishing clips I hope to help people without a ton of experience get into some fish.
Amani great to see you back in tahoe more often now that the weather permits. I have been hitting shaver lake a couple times with my inflatable with trolling motor this last week and the bite is incredible trolling with rapalas and thomas buoyant spoons. I caught and released over 10 trophy bows over 4 lbs. Caught and kept 5 browns and released over 10. Its like a switch went on after all the crazy snow and weather let up and the bite is on like never before. I even hit huntington 2 weeks ago but the whole lake was frozen over except the river inlet. Hope to see you soon in fresno county.
Right on. Glad to have you aboard as a viewer. I have over 650 videos across my channel playlists. Different kinds of trout fishing, hiking, variety stuff, fishing tips, it's all there for you to enjoy.
I like your hat! I used to be in the Auburn area and I fished Pyramid a lot. Now I've moved to an island in the Philippines but I still love watching your channel. It's fun to see the areas around Tahoe and Truckee. Keep it coming man!
Right on. I'm actually half Filipino and was raised by my Filipino Grandma But I never actually made it to the Philippines. My family roots are in Cebu. I'll bring that Sierra hiking and fishing action to you where ever you are. I have tons of action from the Tahoe and Truckee areas on my channel playlists. I really want to get back up into Desolation Wilderness. The snow will slow that down but that won't last. Take care overseas.
@@wildernesswithamani1027 When I lived in WY we caught them from shore in April on Flaming Gorge. Here in MT Flathead lake can be good in the spring along with lots of smaller less known lakes.
It is a lot of fun for me to watch your adventures. Breadcrumbs? When I was 9 years old my dad spent one summer working on the road going into Hume Lake east of Fresno close to Sequoia National Park. My father always worked until the job was done so many times he was out until 8 or 9 finishing up putting a cat back together. Anyway, my older brother drove up from LA and he was hungry when he arrived and wanted to fry up some of the trout, we had in the ice box. There was no flour or corn meal, so I told him we had corn flakes cereal & to crush some to use instead...about ten years later they started selling crushed corn flakes for breading fish or meat...but it was my idea first! haha
I would have never thought of corn flakes but it makes sense that it would work. I think I need to figure out some flour, breadcrumbs or blackening spice for the next Mackinaw I can't release. Still, rainbows are my go to. It says a lot when you don't need a ton preparation to make fish taste good.
@@wildernesswithamani1027 it really worked very well. Not needing a lot to make them taste good, that is so true. When we used to hike in for a night or 2 we would take a backpack full of stuff but the salt& pepper & a piece of aluminum foil was probably the best thing we had
Hello Amani, Lake Tahoe such a beautiful place to fish, wish I lived nearby, but I enjoy watching you hookin em up, but I think u need to work on your rich persons accent LOL👊🎣👍
Fishing below the boat camp there when it's closed is awesome. You might have a couple of hikers go by on the Rubicon Trail but they are few and far between if they show up at all. Usually have the whole place to yourself if you are willing to hike in and out with that 1000 foot elevation gain.
When I fish Tahoe, I like to just sit and wait. I do enough battling my way around alpine lakes all summer and Fall. The two Emerald bay clips where I get mackinaw on jigs using my ultralight were two times my original plane to fish got cut off by snow and no fish in the river that flows into the bay! Once I do the grueling hike in, I'm looking to relax!
Right on. I fish all over the Lake in videos on my Lake Tahoe shore fishing playlist and it is my understanding that either state license is good on the lake but I always advise viewers to check regulations for themselves form official sources. I believe in the Nevada guide it's under western region special regulations and it's in the license section of the California guide. Bot are available online. I believe you need a second rod designation to use two rods in California. Unfortunately, all of the backcountry fishing and hiking info I have on my backcountry playlists probably won't be useful until the beginning of Summer. All of my info on tackle I use and how I rig up for bait fishing the lake can be found on my fishing tips playlist.
I haven't tried the perch but I know they are a big menu item for a lot of people. There were big schools of them swimming near shore last time I was there. I think I caught one last time on a jig when I was fishing for trout. Mackinaw are on the fishy side but I heard it you remove the skin they are good. I simply didn't know about that when I tried it.
@@wildernesswithamani1027 Went to Davis today. Too windy but hung for 3 hours. No bite. Hit the Feather by Portola for a few casts. Nuttin honey...Off on the 23rd to B.C. for fishing extravaganza. Can't wait. Back in time for Fishmas! Life is good my friend.
Is it possible to launch a kayak and paddle into Meeks, Rubicon and Emerald. Is there too much hardpack snow to access the docks and launches to these areas. Im hoping to kayak fish tomorrow April 11.
Depending on how you can transport the thing I would guess the nearby beaches would be a safe bet. I am not familiar with the usual launching points because I have never been on a kayak and I have never launched my boat in Tahoe. If you got wheels on the thing you could wheel it down there from the entrance of the boat camp where I went in but there is a lot of snow at the top. I think what I am trying to say is "I don't know"!. If you can get in there the fishing should be good.
I have tried them a couple of times and I found them to be fishy. I heard if you remove the skin they are better. I try to let them go when I get them but the next one I can't release safely I think I will try to fry it up without skin.
Maaaaan Mack’s the one species I can’t catch and need to before I move in June. I had yesterday off, was going to hit emerald bay all day but instead went bass fishing and now I feel dumb 😂🤣
Not a dumb idea if you got into some bass! I only fished there for three hours or so and got those 2 in the net. I had another hit that was very similar to the way those hit so I figure it was another one. If you haven't fished down there yet, if you park at the entrance to the boat camp road there will be no people. going in there. If you park at the Eagle Falls trailhead it will be a zoo. If you park at the Viking Holms trailhead lot it will be a zoo and it will cost you $10.Funny thing is, with all of the cars and people up top, I only saw one family hike by on the trail in all of the time I was down there. The 1000 foot elevation gain on the way out weeds out most people from heading down there. If it's in June you are moving you have plenty of time. I would just get down there sooner rather than later. Go get some action!
@@wildernesswithamani1027 appreciate that! I usually park at the Viking parking lot, pay and head in. Got a 4LB brown at the dock on a rapala a few months ago. I’ll try this weekend.
The websites you book them on say sea plane. I tried to figure out what people spend on that sort of thing. I think the general term is float plane but I don't work off a script. I often hope everyone just gets the point. If you simply rent a Kayak near Sand harbor the experience of kayaking is way better. I saw they rent clear ones you can look down through that actually make me want to try it. My fishing tips playlist has videos containing all of the details of what I do when I bait fish all the way down to the hook types. Start with rigging up for reservoir trout, then my lake Tahoe adjustment clip, then I have bait and hook videos.
@@wildernesswithamani1027 U enjoy every one of your videos. They are excellent! When working for fish and game in Alaska. I had about 4000 hours in most any type of aircraft including: Super Cubs and Cessna 185. 180 and 205's, Beavers, widgeons, gooses, helicopters all at times on floats or their bellies. Sea plane was a different term. Although when growing up in NJ folks did called aircraft on water "sea planes"! Catch some more fish! And make another fine video.
It was lovely down there. The 1000 foot elevation gain coming out is no picnic though! That's probably why I saw only one group of people hike by the whole time I was down there.
I tried last year at the end of June and the creek crossing the trail near Velma was way higher than I wanted to deal with and I lost the trail under snow so I had to get to that point cross country. The direct route to Dicks had that last ridge completely buried by snow. It worked out because I got a really nice rainbow in Velma but I am not going to try to get up there this year until July. I want to fish Dicks and Fontanillis.
@@wildernesswithamani1027 last year we had 3 times the snow fall. The best fishing up in that area is lower Velma, fontanilis, and dicks. Here's a tip. Take the creek up from middle Velma to font. It's a short cut and a better hike. Fontanillis is awesome. You will like it
That was kind of what I was eluding to. I figure trout know they are on the menu so if they smell a lot of Macs in the area they might clear out. That is a really loose theory but it makes sense. It seems like I have been running into a lot of Macs from shore these last couple of years since the lake level has gone way up.
Amani. I’m curious. What is it about a Mac that you don’t like eating? Does taste fishy, is it boney, is it the texture of the meat? I was just wondering. For me I love catching trout, just don’t care to eat trout. Catch and release. Great content. See ya bud.
The couple of times I tried it I found it to be fishy. I later was informed in the comment section that it is better if you remove the skin. I want to try it and will the next time I can't release one safely. Rainbows are my go to. You only need a little seasoning and fry it up in margarine/butter and it's all good, skin and all. Maybe a little lemon to jazz things up.
After months of exhaustive research, its now substantiated that the sound the mean Caddyshack Gopher made, was actually the sound of Flipper, the dolphin from the 60's tv show..tell 'em where ya' got it..maybe those mean Mackinaw " bad boys" will make same sound for you...

It is absolutely awesome running around the woods with you screaming! Nailing the comedy today--and the Macks! Thanks again.
Right on brother. The adventures will continue. I'm glad you watch. Trout season is around the corner so it will be time to expand the target zone. The rivers are going to get ugly for a spell but I'll find something to do.
Lol you talking about the water plane people was hilarious

I'm not saying it when I say it's like you are all out there with me. It makes the dialogue easy when I just talk like you are all right there next to me.
What an awesome video! I do like Mack’s but I only brine them and smoke them. Very tasty! Awesome fish and for the awesome content👍🎣👍🎣
If I had a smoker that would change a lot but I'm not looking to stick one on the deck of my apartment and make my neighbors hate me! Those big Tahoe rainbows are prime for smoking. Probably comes out just like salmon.
Good stuff Amani. I'm still learning but watching you helps me ALOT. I'm hitting the Truckee on Sunday.
Right on. Good luck out there. Between my fishing tips playlist and then the information I provide during my fishing clips I hope to help people without a ton of experience get into some fish.

Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸 Beautiful place and nice work on this video. Cheers 🥂
Right on. I spent a lot of years living at the beach is SoCal. Nice to get a shout out from Redondo. Enjoy the ocean this Summer for me. I miss it.
Lake trout seem to cruise the shoreline in April/May in the West. After that you need a boat or a lot of luck.
Yeah, I know in the summer they fish for those things down in the deep depths.

Never caught a Mackinaw let alone eat one since i never get up to Tahoe. Have you ever tried the Sacramento Perch out of Crowley Lake ?
I haven't tried the perch but I know they are a big menu item for a lot of people. There were big schools of them swimming near shore last time I was there. I think I caught one last time on a jig when I was fishing for trout. Mackinaw are on the fishy side but I heard it you remove the skin they are good. I simply didn't know about that when I tried it.
Yes, deep fry one! Anything deep fried with tarter sauce is good! Especially out of Tahoe!
That's what I was thinking. Next one I get that I can't release I think will get the death sentence and end up in some sort of hot oil!
Oh those unwashed masses! Thanks Amani.
That's me!

You should have asked them if the have any Grey Poupon.
Oh, grey poupon was probably too low brow for these people. They wouldn't dip their gold knives into a jar of mustard available at Walmart!
Not sure if you bleed the fish out after you catch but try it next time as it will reduce any "fishy" flavor.
I think the fishy flavor is in the skin. I skinned the filets the second time I tried it and it was way better. They even make my net smell fishy.
👋
