In this video Andrew makes the long hike up to a high alpine lake in search of cutthroat trout and isn't disappointed! After he arrives he immediately sees some trout cruising and begins casting at them. Before long he is catching fish seemingly under every rock. In fact he catches so many fish that he runs out of SD card space on his GoPro and is forced to fish the remainder of the day without recording. Now that is a lot of fish!!
Rod Used: Renegade Fly Rods Black Series 8'4" 3 wt.
Reel Used: Renegade Black Series Reel
I hope you guys enjoy this high alpine lake adventure and the latest installment of Hardman Fishing Adventures West!

A dream of a fishing day. The number of fish, their size and…oh my gosh…those unbelievable stunning colours! The solitude of that gorgeous alpine lake with that grassy “beach”, those trout caught in those small hidden corners in that beautiful creek at the head of the lake…a dream…can you get any better than that?!

[@jeffrey4869]

No, I can't imagine it getting any better than that. It was dream like.

[@hardmanfishing]

I don't think it can! Every fly fisherman is searching for that type of day!

[@jeffrey4869]

For as young as you are, you've been blessed with some incredible fishing success. Usually one creates their own luck/success, and you've done a great job.

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you!!

[@djisback1622]

What an amazing place, the scenery, fish, wow those colors. Great video!

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you so much!

[@daveschlom4033]

Well, it's going to be 110 here for the weekend and I certainly won't be going fishing ANYWHERE around these parts. So watching you fish this incredible spot was really a nice tonic for the old fisher's soul. I can't think of ever seeing a more beautiful place coupled with better fishing. Thank you.

[@jeffrey4869]

That was some really unique habitat those cutties were in.

[@13jonnyray]

What a great day of fishing those cutties were gorgeous. Thanks for sharing

[@lanecountybigfooters5716]

The creek is where you need a tenkara pole. Awesome fishing lake... beautiful fish. Thanks for taking us along!

[@henryleslievermont6004]

[@michaelsmith7193]

What gorgeous cutthroat trout those were! Excellent video, as always - and thank you for sharing these adventures!

[@hardmanfishing]

[@kylebunga]

That was so cool to watch the fish take your flies in the crystal clear water!

[@jimmymani]

Wow! I yearn to get on an alpine lake that beautiful and fishing that well. Congrats on having such a great day on the water. Thank you for sharing.

[@hardmanfishing]

I'm glad you enjoyed

[@zumalot]

Rocky Mountain beauty and cutthroat trout. "Field of Dreams".

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you!

[@fly.man-55]

魚影が濃いですね！釣れる魚もきれいですね！

[@jaseada0476]

Amazing video! I have never caught a trout. I like to Bass fish. I'm trying to get into fly fishing. Would love to fish there. You deserve more subscribers.

[@milescobb4184]

Keep trying, LMB on a fly are a blast.

[@nextgenclassiccarsofIL]

new subscriber here. I can tell that as a new fly fisherman you are gonna teach me a ton

[@papaangler]

Awesome video,, the best fly fishing

[@davidleimeister5027]

Like shootin' fish in a barrel. What a great day fishing. Love the scenery and the lake. I was wondering about water movement but creek answered my question. Great video Andrew.

[@mrfishingarts]

Very nice fishing

[@appleseeD552]

Way beautiful scenery, beautiful colored fish, and enjoyed watching your efforts. Great video and always tight lines.

[@hardmanfishing]

Thanks Tony!

[@darrengolding4083]

That was an incredible video you showed us . Thanks for sharing the video with us ...

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

Great video! I always forget my net..

[@hardmanfishing]

It's always worse when you're several miles in to a 5 or 6 miles hike!! LOL

[@aidenhunt1942]

Love your content man I aspire to be as good at fishing as u are!

[@patjordan1955]

My gosh such beautiful fish! Thanks!

[@leehjones]

#24 gnat? I couldn't even see the fly, much less thread a leader through it. But beautiful scenery and beautiful fish. Thanks so much.

[@jimgollach6202]

I would say those fish hardly ever see a fly. That makes for a fun day of fishing. Enjoyed watching. Tight lines. 👍

[@hardmanfishing]

You're probably right! Not many people make it up to those lakes, and most who do are hikers

[@raymondtapatu6869]

Awesome clip beautiful scenery and amazing fish appreciate your work👍❤️

[@hardmanfishing]

Glad you enjoyed!!

[@stinkylefthandfishing]

Awesome video I can’t get over the background or the fish just incredible for sure on my bucket list

[@hardmanfishing]

It should be! It's incredible

[@samajier2566]

Pemandangan Alam yang indah

[@larryhudson4511]

Super day! Really brought back some old memories!

[@hardmanfishing]

Glad you enjoyed Larry!

[@jamesdunlop5796]

Loved this place. More lakes please

[@hardmanfishing]

We'll definitely have some more lake vids coming out!!

[@reallovechannel1309]

The heat is warming those lakes up and algie will start taking over. The fish will not be able to survive in those lakes eventually !!! Nice video and enjoy every minute of this special fishing !!!

[@hardmanfishing]

I don't think it gets above 65 at this elevation... so I'm pretty sure these lakes are more than fine.

[@jeromedwojak918]

Great video, you were slaying them out there pretty good!

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you!

[@johns8091]

looks like the eastern sierras

[@flyfishingchannel]

Nice video my friend! 🙂

[@troutwateralberta]

Awesome Fishing Man! Love the content you guys put out for this channel, thanks for sharing and Tight Lines Brotha! 🇨🇦🤙🏾

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you! And awesome KZbin name!

[@troutwateralberta]

Thanks, hoping to upload some more videos, share some of my trips.

[@jeffrey4869]

Another amazing video! You fish some great places, with incredibly beautiful trout. I was surprised at the size of some of those fish, considering they're lake dwellers. Where's all the food coming from?

[@hardmanfishing]

I'm not entirely sure, I'm not an expert on high alpine lakes unfortunatley. But they're definitely eating something!

[@derekspace]

That was way too cool!

[@obozomustgo5449]

Hardman Fishing Adventures West is back again! Great trout fishing. I did that at a small lake near Lake Tahoe years ago. But those trout were so darned weary they wouldn't take a single fly. Frustrating seeing those big boys hanging out laughing it my presentations. 😡

[@hardmanfishing]

I guess if you always caught fish they would call it catching and not fishing!! Thanks for watching

[@obozomustgo5449]

@@hardmanfishing - You should hit the West Brach of the Delaware River one day. That river has some absolute pigs in it. It's very limited access, though, and hard to get to.

[@johnbakken1853]

“No idea where that went. “ Fish on.

[@johns8091]

WOW Hardman ! great fish ! what area were you fishing?

[@musicvideos5196]

Thanks for not sharing the location of this lake. Sad it got mentioned a lot online. Gorgeous shots!!

[@SouthernAppalachiaboiz]

Those fish were HUNGRY!!!

[@hardmanfishing]

No doubt!!

[@James.t69]

first! always love a hfa upload!

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you for the support!!

[@sakibbhat69]

I can only dream such

[@mitchellwinter1744]

Amazing video! What fly(s) you using here?

[@gimnof]

Size 24?? And here I thought a 20 was small!

[@johnbakken1853]

No net required.

[@sawyercleverly1450]

Hi

[@milescobb4184]

After you cast it looks like you are jiggling your line and rod a little - are you trying to add movement to the fly? Do something else?

[@bixby9797]

Did I miss it but is this a stocked high lake?

[@hardmanfishing]

I have no idea, It's not on a stocking report but that doesn't mean it was never stocked I guess.

[@Mr.Zilla-eg5yt4mt1o]

This is my question where do you get that fly rod ? Becuase i want to one

[@hardmanfishing]

Renegade Fly Rods!!

[@Mr.Zilla-eg5yt4mt1o]

Oh I see now I saw the website thanks man 👍

[@dylantyrone9703]

Any Tips to get good

[@hardmanfishing]

Spent time on the water... lots of it

[@johnbakken1853]

When you’re fighting the fish, why do you pull out line?

[@HB-bc5po]

He's not pulling OUT line, he's pulling IN line. Left hand is the "line hand" it manipulates the fly line when casting and retrieving a fly or streamer etc. it's not uncommon to bring in smaller fish by pulling in the fly line. Larger fish are more typically put "on the reel" and retrieved more like a spinning or bait casting reel.

[@georgeaubrey547]

Why do you pull line off a already nice tight reel when playing fish off the reel- seems unnecessary

[@Fireflyfishing906]

Hey can you help me catch more fish

[@julieholmly]

Kid you gotta speak up a little. All I can hear is you mumbling. Otherwise, great content.
