Epic Trout Fishing in San Gabriel Mountains-Best Video HD!

[@murkangel]

No way… how have i been so ignorant, i must keep exploring!The mountains are calling, I never imagined trout of this caliber. being a rock throw away from here, this builds my excitement to keep returning in search of these natural elusive species

[@CatchCatchFish]

¡Muchas gracias

[@hectorgabrielrodriguezvare1352]

Que bonito video, te felicito en ese lugar de aguas limpias, cristalinas con esas truchas realmente salvajes y hermosas, hay que seguir cuidando esos lugares increibles.

[@CatchCatchFish]

Thanks, Aggs! Glad to hear about your success with the worms-best trout lures!

[@craigleith100]

Izzak Walton Are they real worms izzak? ive had a little sucess using real worms but i would like to try those worms you are using could you tell me what they are plz? and do you know if these baits would work over here in Scotland? a long shot i know but gotta ask eh? lol ✌💙👍

Thanks for the post and keeping the location secret. About 15 years ago, I hiked into a few places and caught some wild trout. I haven't been back since the Station fire in 2007. Although, I did scout one stream I fished before the fire. The stream was again free of debris and the water crystal clear. It could definitely support trout, but I didn't see any. I thought they all died during the fire between the intense heat and debris in the stream. Glad to see some survived!

[@craigfaczan1819]

thought this was a flyfishing only area

[@scottreynolds5447]

Looks like Bear Creek but what do I know

[@Cjayshep143]

both are good, seasonal due to water temp

[@WestCoastLarry]

Beautifull fish ! Nice video too ! I'm glad to see the fish are that big in the San Gabriels ! Hopefully those larger fish will be found throughout more of our local streams. Still, even the 8 or ten inch wild trout are fun and brilliantly colored !

[@Justintime76]

Wow, gorgeous trout.

[@veronicarosales216]

Thank you for sharing. The trout at the 2:00 and 5:20 look like So Cal Steelhead. pristine area!!!

[@ZGADOW]

+Veronica Rosales it's defintely not pristine at all. being close to urban areas, it gets TRASHED

[@CatchCatchFish]

I do use Tenkara on these small streams from time to time. I haven't found the thick brush and trees along these tiny creeks to be conducive for normal fly fishing though...maybe I'll find a better spot in the future!

[@maxinpains6937]

Tenkara .... You are Pro , man .

[@valeriepineda8389]

Very beautiful.

[@EIEntertainmentStudios]

nice video

[@robertjones7846]

My guess that this is creek that runs into Bear Creek, West Fork, Bear Creek; about 4 miles above the West Fork. We fished there for over 20 years in the 50's-70's

[@NightHawks85]

I use to hike a trail out there a few years ago that led to an old burned down park ranger station. Where the river led to a nice pond filled with small mouth bass. So sad I hiked up there a week ago. Everything gone not a fish on site even in the main river

[@CatchCatchFish]

Sad :( But probably different creek :)

[@gsflycaddis]

Those were very nice wild rainbows. Wish I could explore that area someday.

[@CatchCatchFish]

It's a Shakespeare telescopic micro ultralite rod with spinning reel. Big5 had it on sale for $15 a few years back, usually sells for $40. It's a little hard to find, sadly.

[@CatchCatchFish]

Thanks! Gotta keep releasing 'em so they get larger!

[@CatchCatchFish]

The San Gabriels covers 970 sq miles. Good luck finding this location. I prefer to include relevant, although generalized, loctation in the title. Afterall, I am "broadcasting to the world" and would prefer others know that this is in SoCal, not Montana or Idaho. The hike alone required for this location would deter 95% of anglers. You mad?

[@1221Ralph]

Im guessing this location is deep into the bike trail?

[@runandgun41]

these side tributaries are fairly numerous all throughout the San Gabriel river and to find that one would take some time.IMO

[@jesus77740]

great video. thanks for catching and releasing. how long was the hike?

[@CatchCatchFish]

4ft collapsible ultralite from Shakespeare

[@brian012281]

What type of bait do you use? Plastic worm?

[@ralpht1965]

Great video! Brings back memories of fishing above Azusa in the 80's when the waters were less disturbed and crystal clear. I was surprised to see something other than Rainbows, was that a Brookie and a Brown I saw in there? Curious, may I ask your line and test?

[@ZGADOW]

+ralph tracy all rainbows in san gabriel

[@ralpht1965]

+ZDG Do you use 2lb test or 4lb?

[@stettan1754]

I caught some brooks and one brownie out there.

[@ericunderwood6728]

Stet Tan Brooke for me to in the 80s

[@steven37c]

nice video! what set up do you use?

[@Deltakingca]

nice catch

[@sumrica]

I like the way you fade the ambient sounds in and out of the various video clips. Nice touch. Could I prevail upon you to say what telescoping rod it is you're using in this video? It looks to collapse down to something close to 12". I want one just like yours!

[@craigleith100]

sumrica Agreed pal i dont get all the hate directed at this vid 😞 Window Lickers 😆😈

[@TaniaAlfaro]

hey great video any chance you could tell me where this is? i live near el monte ca

[@datsun510wanted]

nice spot. i gatta get me a micro spin ultralight. have you ever heard of the Daiwa Mini System Minispin Ultralight Spinning Reel and Rod Combo? i like that it comes in a case.

[@misterincredible7373]

Where's this at?

[@Electrozap6001Gaming-fun]

Mister Incredible San Gabriel river

[@aggs234]

[@alexnicholson1010]

What rod do you use?

[@SuperLocness]

What is the rod you are using?

[@CatchCatchFish]

Collapsible Shakespeare travel rod. Hard to find anymore, great pack rod, very sensitive and durable.

[@SuperLocness]

Thank you!

[@craigleith100]

Izzak Walton Hey Izzak i trout fish in Scotland and i was just wondering what bait you are using and if you know if it would work with wild brownies over here? I cant understand all the haters on here moaning about the way to land and put back fish ffs i bet most of the haters have done exactly the same at some point! we can call them trout trolls 😀 i enjoyed the vid anyway, keep up the good work pal 🎣 19 jealous people must have watched this vid but i guess you get window lickers all over the world 😆😈 take it easy pal n look forward to seeing more vids, ive sub'd so ✌💙👍 from Scotland TIGHT LINES 😀😲😀

[@AWBepi]

Dude.

[@stettan1754]

This has to be West Fork at San Gabriel River, north of Azusa (off of the 210 fwy). This location is a 10 plus mile stretch, along a creek, all the way to "Cogswell Reservoir." East Fork is where you go to hike to "Bridge to Nowhere."

[@CatchCatchFish]

Yep, same fish! Don't bother looking for this place since there is no fish there at all! ;)

[@philippinesVera]

I have caught a few rainbows there in bear creek

[@allannoria1308]

Hey Izzak Walton, is there any panfish in any parts of the San Gabriel river? Or Mountains. I heard there was, but I figured I'd ask you to be sure. Thanks

[@kevinawsome1]

Same fish ever time esept the first one

[@musashi8977]

That would be bait here in Ontario

[@vplane]

musashi8977 the coastal rainbow doesn't even exist in Ontario

[@Brian-vz7xe]

What's up with the sad music, maybe to go alone with the sad fishing.

[@cristalguerra6703]

not cool bet most fished died after you threw them back we hardly have any fish where you are and you are up there stressing them out if not killing them not cool

[@CatchCatchFish]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Have a great day!

[@robertramirez589]

Actually, with the lure he used, and the area where the fish was hooked, I'm pretty sure they survived. Great video by the way!

[@shreddinth3gnar775]

Cristal Guerra uhh have you seen fishing? I mean if you hook them right, be gentle and handle them right and put them back gently hey live, although trout is really freaking good especially creek trout!
