Two problems with that. One is 99.9% of us don't have the tool and most people tie it by hand. Two, there is no hook or lure tied on to it. You need to make another video showing by hand and with actual lure or hook.

Is this satire? Seriously, is this a product.

Always great to see you bro. Love the videos.

WOW! That was really cool, thank you so much for sharing it

hello! what is the name of the item on your rod that spools the line? thank you!

Amazing fish. They are truly protected. That's one hell of a hike

I’ve been backpacking the Sierra’s for years and started taking my Tenkara rod to get a little fishing in. Thank you for finally showing me a solution to those windy days in the high country. Used your Amazon link to order the floating line and backing. Will be building my floating line setups today. Thank you

Amazing video! I especially like the part when the camera falls at camp and you cut to a new scene! 😉 seriously though, top tier content.

Thanks for sharing never caught one my self.

I really enjoy your stories, B. This one was very well done. And, boy I would never be able to deal with that scree and the ledges and heights. Losing a trekking pole? oh hell no! But, I feel like I was there with you. Good job! We are so proud of you 😊

Excellent video. Driven by Manzanar and Mt. Williamson many times and often wondered what it's like "up there". Thanks for sharing. I'm lucky to get in 1 solo Sierra hike per year. That trail looked looked daunting!

My 13 year old dog is looking at me with eyes that say "I am coming if you are going" . Man that looks amazing . If you can go back there maybe camp by the lakes and fish the crap out of everything and if there's a rule or edict that says you can't just do it anyway and be smart about it . All you are doing is fishing and being respectful of your surroundings and making it easier on yourself going back and forth from camp where you have more opportunities to injure yourself , I have done it before and never regretted it .

Amazing video. Im curious regarding your fishing setup for those shallow streams. Link for your tenkara? Tiny dry flies?

You just can’t trust democrats 😂

the dramatic music is silly - I had to turn the video off

Many thanks - this took a truly extraordinary effort on your part to bring this video to your viewers. I’ve always appreciated the research you invest in your pursuits. This one was especially intriguing - the scope of fish swapping states engaged in during the early years of the twentieth century (some still goes on today - I question its value), plus the link to the Manzanar Camp. I know I’m going to have to track down that documentary. Again, my thanks.

Want to find a secret lake that only holds lahontan? I like to see that video. Easy hike. No one goes there.

What do these fish feed on to survive. Seems so desolate.

Thats a nice looking fish different and amazing thanks never seen those colors before now, thanks for sharing........

I found your video very educational. I had no idea there was a population of Colorado River Cutthroat Trout in the high mountains of California. Glad they’re hard to get to. My one suggestion is that most people tune in to watch fishing videos hoping to leave politics behind.

That's a very tough hike! Found any camping sites in the Williamson Bowl? I wonder why you didn't set up your camp there on day2 to have more time fishing?

What a challenge to get back to thoae lakes. That is one hard pass to do. It really puts into perspective what the people of Manzanar were willing to go through to get those fish.

Nice video it caught my attention having been to Manzanar and read about internees going "over the wire" to fish. Check out the back ground at 3:33 - 3:37. That looks like a man made wall with stacked rocks.

Early in my mountaineering career my climbing partner and I climbed that same trail in the Mt. Williamson basin to summit the mountain and climb along the ridge-line south toward Whitney. It was our first time camping above treeline and at altitude. On that trip anyway fishing was the furthest thing from our minds. Went back years later to fish those lakes; getting there is a challenge all in its own. Nice job; beautiful video production. Thanks!

Awesome video bud

That hike to fish looked intense. Those were some beautiful fish. Great video! NEW SUBSCRIBER 😎

I really enjoyed this episode and applaud your noting how being by yourself and how a miss-step can dramatically change the day.

Extremely well shot video. Nice job. You are a beast of a hiker to head up there from where you started. 😮

Is it a Colorado cutthroat or lohantan cutthroat?

I've been using Tenkara and Keiryu rods for 13 years . Starting doing this about 5 years ago. Works great for this style of fishing.

These are best fishing videos. GREAT MUSIC AND NARRATION.

Great video and idea! You can also use that fly line backing as a "level line". That's my preferred line type. It's an in-between option for standard level line and that pvc option. A little heavier than level line, but not saggy like pvc can be. I like it when I use a setup like a hopper/dropper.

Congrats Brian!

you have a gpx of this trip?

Inspired another trip to the outback. Thanks Love fishing that area of the Sierras

I've been wanting to do this for a while. Cool you had the same thoughts! Thanks!

I feel there are multiple golden trout spices in different Run off systems. But I believe the most pure is the volcanic creek Species.

5:45 I just read vice versa btw golden trout creek to mulkey then cotton wood lakes which makes sense cause the meadow below the lakes was where they originated. And then they stocked them higher and more north

THANKS......👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks!

What is the net you are using? I'm looking for an ul net for backpacking that also has the rubber net.

Really enjoyed this film it’s on my bucket list next time I visit America thanks for sharing from the UK 🇬🇧

I will try that as soon as i can.

Oh it's tenkara setup! Sorry I didn't hear it at first

So how exactly do they work? I wished you would have used a whole rod. 😂 Do you leave your line ran through the guides? Is it just for the leader part? What?

Great video Brian, I remember the first episode I watched was up in Meiss meadows and how small the kids were. Wonderful stuff you keep bringing. Thanks so much.

Awesome video! what's the idea behind adding the amnesia, energy transfer?

Not sure where you are, but the Owen’s this time of year the grasshopper bite is insane, there are so many of them, I have a video on my phone where the grass looks pixelated as I’m walking through the area. It’s an awesome time.

Enjoy the quest along with the research….it makes the challenge that much more rewarding! Roger Bloom

Is there any way to ask permission from the local landowners I can't imagine why they would say no being out there with your family and all and keeping a small footprint
