My wife and I made this hike a few years back. Had the place to ourselves. Just like you, caught lots of little brookies, but on little spinners. Beautiful place to chill and have a picnic.

I subbed What kind of tenkara rod at the beginning?
@newflyfishingodyssey13 күн бұрын
Thanks! It's a tenkara rod company beartooth. First tenkara rod I ever got...10 foot and packs down small. So pretty good option for the backcountry if you're looking for something that works ok on lakes and creeks.
@NJNGaming13 күн бұрын
curious about your switch rod. what wt lines / rod are you using?
@newflyfishingodyssey13 күн бұрын
Basically an opst setup. Their 3wt 9ft 9in. User their integrated commando line and tips. I was using the 5 ft floating head in the beginning of the vid but it didn't feel right. I think the 7.5 foot works better with it. The 8 foot sink tip goes well with it.

How active are the Apache trout in late July, and do monsoons affect them?
@newflyfishingodysseyАй бұрын
I'm not an expert but they should behave like all other high mountain trout. If the water temp goes too high that's usually the only thing. But unlikely up there. Monsoons won't do much other than mess with water clarity. More of a problem for you if you're caught in one.

Is this the Kennedy Meadows campground at the end of Windy Springs Road ?? The trail you hiked to the river, is this the Pacific Trail trailhead that runs thru the campground??? Motocamped (motorcycle) a few years ago on July 4th weekend. Amazing, barely 1/4-1/3 campsites in use whereas Fish Creek and Troy Meadows were full to capacity with the rowdy off-road crowd. To my knowledge the creeks were mostly dried up due to the long drought. Nice video, tight lines!!

Coming from the 395 is the easiest. Going up from kernville is prob more scenic but it’s more of a mountain drive. So I prob would wait for summer going that way.

Long Lake in bishop pass prob has slightly bigger ones. But I don’t think any of the lakes in those areas are known trophy brookie lakes. Maybe one of those labeled fish less in little lakes could have some holdover that has no competition.

nice video bud, what switch rod do you have? I was thinking of getting one for the backcountry gold this year.
@newflyfishingodyssey3 ай бұрын
The one I used here was an opst 9ft 9in 3wt. I bought it for backpacking so it needed to be around 10ft and a 3wt. Surprisingly that isn’t a super common combination. I tried taking an 11ft 4wt up before and it was a little too bulky.
@chowboy443 ай бұрын
@@newflyfishingodyssey yeah from the research that ive done, it seems you double the weight of the rod to the pound fish you plan on catching....so a 2 wt=4lb fish, 3=6lb fish and so on. I know im not lucky enough to catch a golden any bigger than 6 so a 3wt would be perfect... thanks for the response, a bit too much for a b/c rod for me tho...Ill probably end up with the echo sr...thanks for the response bud. Good luck this good season
@JesusLORD6903 ай бұрын
what happens when you break your leader off, do you retry a new leader on thewelded loop? and also is it ok to use floating line for lake fishing?
@newflyfishingodyssey3 ай бұрын
Usually they don’t break the whole leader. So you just tie one more tippet to make up the lost length. Lake fishing really depends on how deep they are feeding. If you see a lot of surface feeding or cruisers, floating line is fine. You can fish deeper by getting a sinking tip that attaches to your loop. If the water is pretty clear you can actually get them to come up from deeper than you expect.
