Happy New Year brother.

Happy new year! Looking forward to more videos!

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

Happy New Year. Plenty more to come. At least that's the plan!

[@Neilman1000]

Happy New Year brother. Glad to see you are still out there catching trout. Be safe.

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

Right on. Happy Yew year.

[@richardromm3453]

Great videos Amani! Learned plot from u over the last three years! Get um on and happy new year!

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

Right on brother.

[@ericpickering2406]

Happy New Year, Amani! Thank you for bringing us along in 2023 and hope to see your adventures continue in 2024. Planning a Mammoth trip this summer glamping a few miles from the village and hope to find the flat river side cabin of a famous person from the ...'30s or so? If you remember the location, let me know. Beautiful quakies, green, lush area.

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

Right on. Happy New Year. I am not sure about the location of what you speak of is. Between all of the content on my every day you are there for all of your trips over the next decade or so! I can't wait to get back up into the Backcountry in that area to fish.

[@JoeD.294.]

Happy New Year! Nice way to start 2024 with a fresh trout dinner. You are so correct about ice on the rocks because you can't really see it and if you hop around without thinking you can get messed up really bad. I was in bed at 9 on New Year's Eve....just to pooped to party anymore.😂

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

Happy New Year. Yeah, I like to scope out and test everything I might step on during the heat of the battle. If there is one thing about ice on rocks that is always true it's that it is extremely unforgiving if you step on it. You are going down!

[@MikeBulu]

🎉🎉🎉🎣🎣🎣👍👍👍the first two were definitely pan size

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

I ate that whole fish and it was quite a bit. I could have stretched into two meals but I figured I'd start the new year with a full stomach!

[@hogwildbowhunter]

I jealous I would loved to had a fresh trout dinner! Nice I forgot the stuff sack is an excellent pillow once the layers are in it!

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

Oh, it's a wonderful pillow when it's full. I stuffed myself with that whole trout. It was either one huge meal or two meals that were barely adequate. I went with huge!

[@radiantcarpets]

Happy New Year Amani.

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

Happy New Year to you as well.

[@sharmilakraft7104]

Happy New Year! Thank you for sharing!

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

Happy New Year. Always glad to share.

[@Piojo0203]

Oddly enough i was going to go fishing that day very same spot

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

Right on. You should have gone. They were biting.

[@davejones5728]

Happy new year! Awesome to see you start the year with some quality rainbows. I love watching your content and look forward to many awesome adventures in 2024🍾👍🎣

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

Right on brother. Happy New Year. I hope we both have a good year of fishing in store for us.

[@Piojo0203]

Happy New Year. Everytime i go fishing that spot i get skunked. Did you have your bait by the rocks or all the way to the sand?

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

I move mu stuff in and out. Ideally I try to fish where the boulders and sand intermesh but there's a lot of guessing there so I reposition my stuff about every 45 minutes.

[@TedDBear9431]

Happy New Year Amani! MInd telling us where that access is located? Thanks!

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

Happy New Years. That is Logan Shoals Vista point near Cave Rock State Park. Google Maps will take you right there. At least, it will get you to where you park. Unfortunately your legs have to handle the steep hike up.

[@Thizzamajig]

Happy New Year!

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

Happy New Year to you as well!

[@707SLAYER]

Logan is some prime picking for the short ride ...

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

Easy in and out. Not my favorite spot in the Spring when the big rainbows are cruising the boulders for crawdads and minnows but easy when it's freezing on New Years Day. I was the first car there but the parking area was almost full when I left. Funny how few people are actually willing to hike down to the water.

[@707SLAYER]

I AGREE MY BIGGEST RAINBOW THERE IS ABOUT 18 INCH ...@@wildernesswithamani1027

[@brettmorton6513]

Hey Amani, Happy New Years!! Hey, I see you not only love catching trout, but also eating them! I cannot tell you how many times I have caught trout and given them to others because I have never been a huge fan of eating trout. Salmon, tuna, sushi etc, all good! But TROUT NOT SO MUCH... Anyways, I would love to find a recipe or 2 that I actually realy like! Have one??

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

Happy New Year. I am not the dude to go to for recipes. I have three cooking clips on my variety playlist where I fry, bake, and grill trout. I mostly go with the frying because I like to cook the skin on rainbows until it's good and crispy.

[@divineavengers]

are all these smaller trout stockers?

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

I don't think so. The Wild trout fishery in Tahoe is very strong. They protect all of the spawning in the tributaries well. I'm pretty sure Nevada FWL stocks Lahontans but I don't believe they do much more than that. I could be wrong.

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

Right on. Happy New Year.

[@CC_Marauder]

Happy New Year to you as well. Hope the new j o b works out for your needs. Ok, MY needs for more fishing videos from you. Really wish you would take advantage of the well known tricks of the trade needed to get your videos more views (into more algorithms). More YT click cash may mean less work and more actual living (read: fishing). ✌🏼

[@theoldsurffisher1943]

What bait worked??

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

I was using powerbait and inflated crawlers. How I rig up, bait I used, hooks I use, etc. can be found in detailed videos on the fishing tips playlist for my channel.

[@theoldsurffisher1943]

Thanks. Do you ever fish Donner Lake from shore? Minnows for Macs? @@wildernesswithamani1027

[@hjkjccdggjhvb]

i would feel really nervous fishing around the tahoe area cause of bears and bigfoot..

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

Let them come! I have bear videos on my wildlife encounter playlist but no bigfoot clips yet!

[@hjkjccdggjhvb]

@@wildernesswithamani1027 i had a bigfoot encounter up in the sierras by sly park area while disperse camping with family and friends couple years back... never went back towards that way ever again... but yea. Your always ready with your camera , u can get that money shot and become the first to capture that hairy booger... or layed him out with a hot lead. That dude kinda ruined my fun for the outdoors ...

[@markvanderstelt8999]

@@hjkjccdggjhvb ya and i bet you have some fuzzy out of focus Photo of big foot like every person who says they have had a so called Encounter with one.

[@hjkjccdggjhvb]

@@markvanderstelt8999 no videos , bigfoot came 3am in the morning into our camp.

[@gmc5426]

HAPPY NEW YEAR AMANI!!! 🎗🏌🎗 ME TOO I ESCAPED MY PARTY EMPIRE MANY MANY MOONS AGO. OMG😂

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

Right on. Happy New Year. Yeah, my partying was out of control during the couple decades+ I lived at the beach in San Diego. I kept things from falling apart but I had a lot of real good times!
