Clear Lake Camping in Washington ~ Fishing WIN

[@johnd746]

It really disturbs me to see people who have no respect for our environment, and leave their trash everywhere. Happy for people like you that clean up after the trash people. Thanks for being you.

[@staroceans8677]

Indeed. Eric's the best!

[@kathe9342]

I broke my neck and was in rehab when you first started your journey. It has saved my sanity "going" with you on all your trips. The best thing has been watching you become so confident and the quality of your videos getting better all the time. I am still in rehab so you better take me on some exciting trips this summer! LOL I agree with others, Jax does need a bit more camera time now and then!! Thanks for doing your part to keep America Beautiful. Thanks again too for all the adventures and the hard work you put into your videos to make each trip better than the last. I am sure I'll meet you sometime on the big open road! 😊 🚌

[@flyakadventures8946]

I enjoyed seeing the Yellow-headed Blackbird, Yellow Warbler, and American Goldfinch. Very cool along that clear blue lake. Love the drone shots. Thanks for sharing the eastern Washington boondocking Eric.

[@sueb4368]

Me too. Thanks for naming them. Eric they would be great calendar shots (hint, hint).

[@caseory7945]

Hi from his wife.....Love your journey and nomad travels. I am of gypsy origin from Mongolia to Russia. Proud of it and our daughter's second tattoo was of a gypsy woman, so cool. We are retired now and just recently clued into your youtube vlogs and admire you for being so positive and energetic of your life style. Rock on and big hug to Jax, we love tabby cats!

[@johnralston5818]

...Great Spot Eric... my kinda camping too. You can get caught up on a lot of things @ that place. Thanks for the video.. travel safe & will see ya up the road ; )

[@bobwandaolympiawa.4478]

Hi Eric. Welcome home. This is Bob and Wanda over on Archer. We met at Ocean Shores a couple of years ago. Just a fishing suggestion. Gear rigging suggestion. Put a slip lead above your snap swivel. One that you can cast a long way and then a leader with the size 8 egg hook on it. One that you can hide inside one power bait. Be sure to hide the eye of the hook. "important!" I find the best colors is the dark green, light green is good too. Wash your hands prior to handling your bait. The fish have good noses. Cast way out there then wind in the slack until the tip of your fishing rod takes a little dip. Set your rod down again take up the slack and wait for a bite. It's always best to have an ultra light rod with a really soft tip so the fish can't feel the rod. If you try hooking the fish and you miss them go to the next larger hook. The fish bite down on the power bait and can't clamp down hard enough to get to the hook therefore when you go to set the hook, the hook gets pulled right out the fishes mouth. You got the idea. My handle is fishhook from Lacey. Again welcome back home and good fishing. Bob

Washington is hands down one of the most beautiful states in the USA.

[@angelajohnson5728]

@@JJKHaywood It is truly beautiful. I lived up there for many years, in Centralia/Chehalis, Eric's stompin' grounds. Went to both Centralia Community College and Evergreen State. That was before St Helen's blew, and it was nice to go up to Spirit Lake, which was just drop-dead gorgeous, with friends. Take a picnic, look at the water, dabble in it if you dared, because it was ice-cold year round. Good times.

[@mikeprichard7933]

​@@angelajohnson5728 WOW I graduated high school from Boistfort high school in 1973. About 20 minutes out of Chehalis headed toward Pee Ell. What a small world

Yes it is beautiful if you Just stay away from the big left run cities!

[@lrose711]

Now you're in my territory...thankyou for taking out the trash! I do not understand litter in any way but really appreciate people like you who will help keep our areas clean. Enjoy following your travels!

[@tadghb]

Love that Discover Pass! Can't wait to see where you camp!!! As a new camper I love learning from your videos over the years. Keep up these awesome videos.

[@RyderWestwood]

I live in the Puyallup/Graham area and think I want to do a lot more boondocking this summer. So looking forward to getting ideas for all the local parks you stay.

[@peterandrews4172]

loved the bird videos ...reminded me of birdwatching while camping with my father years ago... thankyou for your videos . I've been watching since you were in the college parking lot :)

[@shawnu22]

My wife & I will be in Washington in July and have purchased a Discover Pass. I did not know about the free camping but would love to hear more about it. Thanks for making my morning coffee time even more enjoyable.

[@sandys2672]

Nice video Eric. I always enjoy your overnight time lapses. And that fishing with Jax laying on the chair flipping his tail waitin for fish was precious!

[@nomadicfanatic]

Thanks. He's a ham.

[@mommam.6101]

As a fellow Washingtonian I agree that it's an amazing state. And I can tell you're so happy to be home. The quality of your videos are amazing

[@adventuresofjandk]

Sandra Mason the nw is awesome

[@bubblesplayhouse3146]

I am recovery from surgery and have been binge watching you...i love your stuff. We are weekend warriors in our 40 ft TT but one of these days hope to follow your foot steps. You are such a delight to learn and watch .. that tour of Alcatraz island you did was ingenious. Stay safe and funny!

[@Natschke_Family_Adventures]

Thank you so much for showing us more than Arizona. The other channels I watch are starting to bore me a bit with hovering around the same places. You can only get so excited seeing the same colors of brown and tan all the time. Your travels are very enjoyable.

[@exsafety4838]

Hilarious, great video!! I loved the fact you were using a tarpon pole in a lake that might have a 4” trout or a 5 lb carp. But seriously love different perspective “no gators in this water”. Welcome to Washington and hope you find more gems.

[@TJ-mc8uh]

TY for sharing your info on the different passes that are available. Also, have not been to the NW, so the birds, water condition, etc. are appreciated. Be safe.

[@cheriestelzer9969]

Great place. Your shots of the butterflies, birds , throwing the rocks and you running were so good!!! And looked like JAX having a great time in the outdoors while you fished!!

[@ZeldaCorgi]

Hey Eric, glad to see you back on the west coast. We are very luck to be living in such beautiful country. Thank you for keeping our parks clean, even if its picking up after people who cant pick up their own sh**. Safe travels, cheers my friend!!!

[@julieplant444]

Great intro, Eric “hello Washington” - loved it! Also love seeing Eric & Jax equally billed. That’s nice, even though you do all the work. 😃. You are so happy being in Washington that it’s contagious. Such a beautiful state and can’t wait to see your adventures. 🤗 Julie

[@leann4925]

Lived in Pasco where the Snake and Columbia Rivers meet as enjoyed my time at both places. Great fishing and swimming. When the farmers markets open up you will find some good eating. Fresh is the best. Safe travels and take care.

[@RiverDocs]

I enjoy some of these campground videos, Kind of reminds me of the old Nomadic Fanatic days when you were just starting out going from campground to campground. Enjoy yourself back in your home state.

[@margieemack7211]

Thanks for the information. We live in Florida for six months and go out west coast the other six months. love ,love the state of Washington and we will be getting the discovery pass.

[@deeterry580]

Wow! It is beautiful. My husband and I plan to travel that way in the next year. See the beauty in person. Wow! Wildlife is beautiful too!

[@timengland3649]

I am in no way a fishing expert but I saw video where the guy was fish on every cast with a top water frog he bought at WalMart. Cast out the frog and reel him back as he would swim. The bass can't resist it!

[@HoneyandMe]

Washington definitely has the nicest rest areas! I stop just so I can check them out! Free coffee...sometimes cookies too! They are clean and usually very pretty areas.Many have free RV dump stations and potable water. 8 hour stops are allowed, which is great if you need a place to stop for the night and grab some sleep.

[@golddigger9326]

By far this is one of your top ten videos of all time , if you cruise through Vancouver WA wave and I'll wave back , enjoy the summer , it goes by quick here in the Pacific Northwest

[@cheyjan330]

Glad you are in your home state. The drone filming was perfect and you and Jax fishing was very unique. As always I enjoyed hangin out!

[@klyonsden]

So...you buy a fishing license for the beautiful state of Washington, then you come to your first beautiful expanse of water. So what do you do? You throw rocks in the water. Come on man! (Yep, I have started this 'Come on man' segment and will continue because you make it so easy to Eric!)

[@janicehavens1395]

I am so glad to see someone finally fishing.

[@wande.RV.iew1]

That all looks so wonderful. It's why we love our home state. But SO jealous right now. Ugh... here I am sitting at my desk just counting the days until we can retire and get on the road. At least we can play every weekend until then :) Thanks for your video. We love tracking your adventures!

[@Erin-rf1pt]

Eric I was just talking about you and your success at school yesterday! My class mates said "Good for him putting his passion to work!"

[@nomadicfanatic]

Thanks Erin. :)

[@jsavellano2]

NF, your videography skills are seriously raising the bar; those movie clip pre-intros(what are they called?), beautiful scenery shots, high dollar music, drone shots, slo-mos. good stuff my man. You are definitely earning your number one spot. And I have to say, after your break up you seem to be totally at one with who you are. It shows in your vlog skills. Keep pumpin out that gold.

[@staroceans8677]

Eric is an extraordinary talent and when he pulls out all the shots in his videography no one compares. He captures such beauty, the unusual, the quirky...he's exceptional talent, his videos bring much pleasure, and I hope that he finds some spiritual satisfaction as well. 😌

We love your videos. If you use a suction mount with the lens almost touching the windshield you only need a 2 or 3 inch square section clean and most random bug splat will be out of frame.

I'm so glad you're going to explore more of Washington state. Drone footage! How nice...been missing that. A beautifully composed video, Eric. (The new intro is great!) Thank you. (:

[@JJUrdzela]

In MI we call the stuff you kick up when walking in the water "silt" and the soft mud you sink in "muck"! Another great video!

What's the name of your place? Sounds awesome!!

[@cher1202]

Great water shots. Would love to hear you talk more about dry camping in the free camping spots with the Discovery Pass. We are fairly new to RV camping and so far have been sticking with the state parks (which are breath taking, but expensive).

[@goldiecob]

welcome to Washington! As a Washington Native I'm looking forward to seeing all the cool spots the Discover pass will let you stay at.

[@jorgiegirl7349]

I'm so glad to see you being so successful. I've followed you from the beginning, seen your ups and downs. You are one I respect all the way. We've ALL done things in our lives that we're not proud of. But you pick yourself up, and work hard, real hard to become the man you are today. Keep up the excellent work Eric, I love this channel!

I’ve definitely seen lakes that clear in other states. Washington is a beautiful place, I love when we make trips up there.

[@craigsrvebayontheroad4876]

Washington is my home state also.. so beautiful here. Been though George many times on my way to Moses Lake.. didn't know there was a lake there.. Have you camped at the thousand trails in Quincy? Very nice park,, you would love it

[@chiron591]

George, Washington state has a story. That town is the center of the entire Washington state. That’s why is called George. Been there last year, as it was the way to go for us. We live in Canada BC, and we love Washington state. We have our discovery pass, best investment for all kinds of free camping.

[@sa-iw4dr]

Nicely done Video, love the butterflies, birds and night stars. Jax looked like he enjoyed getting out. Maybe next time for those fish!

[@darlenearmstrong3582]

I'm really enjoying your videos and Jax (I'm so cliche) he looks just like my 20lb camping kitty Fizzgig(from the Dark Crystal). We now have 2 cats that live in our rv with us.

[@henryzabel1746]

Eric , for most of those little lakes that have trout , use 6lb test line . If you like to cast and retrieve , an F-4 flatfish in rainbow or frog pattern . If you like to cast and sit , a single split shot and a small glob of power bait , maybe with a small worm or maggot . I often used added sent like crawfish oil , really brings the fish in .

[@kiwi2094life]

Anybody else fully watch the ads so my mans Eric secures the bag.

[@spoonypoon7998]

Flathead lake in Montana is clean and clear! That's why it's my fave place to camp! Come camp with me!

[@sheilacoleman8761]

I like the view from the bench at Yellow Bay .memory

[@whoistheroach136]

Dude, you should consider carrying a small kayak on the back of your rig. A sit on top can be cheap and light. Many of my best times traveling have been kayaking beautiful small lakes.

Great video Eric and thank you for that annual pass information, great deal we will definitely buy it when we go up there. I love to boon-dock,but Linda not so much😔lol. My motorhome all full I think I can boon-dock for about a week. Happy that you like your class A.

[@ricfly52]

I have a cousin who lives in Eastern Washington right on the river. Small place, just 800 acres. It is gorgeous. If I put his name out many people would know, so I won't. We have our family reunion there every about 4 years or so.

[@K7CARadio]

FYI, that's a Fish and Wildlife access site, so your fishing license would have worked in lieu of your Discover Pass. :) There are thousands of camping spots in E.WA on lakes all over that area that will accommodate a large TT or MH. I've fished Martha Lake many times on the March 1st opener and caught dozens of nice size trout. Water is much deeper on the other side of the lake. Here's my tried and true fish catching setup that's caught 1,000s of trout over the years. Slide a 1/8 oz slip sinker on your line. Tie a #10-12 snap swivel on. 2-3 ft. of 4 lb test leader. Mini marshmallow then a chunk of nightcrawler. The mini mm will float your bait off the bottom and out of the weeds. Floating Power Bait works too, but not as good as a nightcrawler. Much nicer area to camp and fish about 5 miles N. on 281 is the Quincy Lakes area, Quincy, Burke, Evergreen. Awesome fishing,camping, scenery. Just a few miles up the road from The Gorge, so check the music calendar and don't go there on a mega music weekend.......:)

[@loafsandfishes5066]

Its true theres a vehicle access pass issued with a fishing licence in Washngton but it must be displayed separately from the licence and of course only works on WDFW sites, never DNR or for day use at other state run facilities.

[@troytalbot2218]

Nicely done, welcome home. I did not realize the free DNR spots were available with the discover pass, I purchase one every year, but never knew that, most appreciated, I would appreciate any other info on that as well, cheers

[@insaynbcr]

I would suggest adding a smaller fishing rod to your game. Like a 6ft 6in UglyStik with medium light action and no bigger reel size than a 2500. Spool with 10-12# braid and top shot it with 10-20 feet of 10# mono with an Albright or Uni to Uni knot.
