Mountain Lake Teeming With Trout [Spin Fishing Trout on an Alpine Lake]

[@timschwarze4842]

If you ever have a “share a day with a subscriber “, I would love to go on any one of these trips with you and relish sharing the company and passion you have for fishing, the outdoors and making it available for the rest of us.

[@timschwarze4842]

Tyler, thanks for taking us to another place. And for giving us detailed information about how you were successful. And for sharing the beauty.

Great video,. Im from California and moved to Washington 4 years ago. It looks like where I used to fish for 50 years in the Sierra's above timber line. I miss it but looking for new adventures in Wa. Love your vidieo's very informative.

Alpine lake fishing is my favorite! Beautiful lake!

[@spiltmilt]

Yup if the fishing isn't good at least the scenery is spectacular.

[@wetsockoutdoors8538]

Great video

[@ChipDarby13]

Wow incredible scenery! Wish I wasn’t so lazy...some beautiful alpine lakes where I live in BC.

[@pnwsportsman4036]

Beautiful- I did the Enchantments hike a couple years ago and fished a lake like that with my Ronco haha Trout are beautiful fish

[@unjarredoutdoors5513]

Great video. I enjoy watching others have a great time outdoors like myself. Thanks for sharing!

[@dschilowsky]

Thanks for the great video reminds me of when I used to hike into the high mountain lakes in Wyoming.

[@PNWFSHR]

Awesome video man! There sure is a lot of great high lake fishing in wa. We are lucky. The high lakes I just fished I fished 5 years ago and man let me tell you what 5 years can do to alpine fish. Stocked 3 years before I went the first time. They were all 4"-6" average then. Let's just say I had an amazing last few days with much larger fish. Great bookies and west slope cutts. Great info in all of your videos. Keep them coming!

[@MrNyassae]

WOW what an Amazing fishing hole you found. I'm So jealous.

[@MrAcuta73]

A 2wt flyrod would be amazing there...mebbe a heavier backup in case of wind. But a super ultra-light fly rod would be SOOO much fun. My first ever fly-caught fish was a 15-ish inch brown on Suttle Lake with a sparse over-long elk hair caddis that was a dead-ringer for the timber moths falling on the water. Was a number of wins in there, even though the rod combo was $15 and the only reason the fly was right was because I sucked at a proper caddis. LOL

[@bobalcantara4045]

Another well done and entertaining video. Thanks for taking us along.

[@spiltmilt]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@outasightgear]

Amazing fishing spot!!

[@CascadeBackcountry]

Awesome day and awesome hat!

[@travis6923]

Beautiful!!!

[@MisterDogg]

The aquarium was a cool idea.

[@Carlb328]

Cutthroat from mountain lakes are so beautiful.

[@aloh86]

I noticed the ajusta bubble on your line is "upside down" (instructions say line first goes through tapered end). Do you feel this helps with the leader from being tangled or is better at getting the leader out in front of the bobber? Now that I think about it, I think the energy from the cast will disperse better from the bobber into the leader, just like a tapered leader or fly line.

[@21SHAKES]

Great video. Can you help me with what size reel to get for this type of fishing. I'm guessing a 25 but not sure. Thanks!

[@spiltmilt]

20 or 25 will work

[@21SHAKES]

@@spiltmilt Thank you. Ill try it!

[@anthonymorgan8258]

So beautiful dude! I’m from bc and it makes me want to go for a hike/fish. Great video 👍🏼

[@spiltmilt]

Thank you! Get out there and enjoy the short summer.

[@matthewcapra9761]

Nice vid just found your channel it’s great keep up the good work tight lines buddy😃🎣🎣

[@spiltmilt]

Thanks and welcome!

[@BC-ue3ku]

Incredible! Absolutely love alpine lake fishing. So was it a bear or Sasquatch?? Or will that be revealed on your next video 😂

[@spiltmilt]

Pretty sure it was bear judging by the reactions of the Pika.

[@JenkinsB]

just epic

[@kurzhaarguy]

How do you go wrong with a walk through Lupine up to a jade-clear mountain pothole? I'm lucky enough to have access to a couple of these on private ground. The 'Cuts never see humans unless we take kids up there.

[@OuTkAsTiN]

forgive me if this is a dumb question, but do you think i'd have any success in the enchantments? going next weekend

[@spiltmilt]

I know many of the lakes up their hold Cutthroat and even rumors of Golden Trout

[@dainmunnich6253]

Where is this lake at if i can ask?

[@deliverybryan1138]

Washington state or is this in California ?

[@spiltmilt]

Washington

[@BekahEmma]

Tyler, please let your local district fish bio know the results of your success. It helps them know how their management is going. :)

[@giffish84]

Dept of fisheries don't typically manage alpine lakes in fact my understanding is they want alpine lakes fished out and returned to "natural state". Most alpine lakes were planted by loggers or trail associations like Hi-lakers or Trail blazers. If I'm wrong please let me know.

[@spiltmilt]

They are planted on a 4-8 year cycle. The state issues permits for the planting but I'm pretty sure its mostly run by volunteer groups. Really no point in emailing our district bio. I almost never get a response. I'd be better off writing a letter and tossing it into a black hole.

[@BekahEmma]

@@giffish84 The district bio for Okanogan County actually does manage many alpine lakes. Dept. of Fisheries??? That takes me back.

[@giffish84]

@@BekahEmma WDFW is what I should have said. And I worded my response in part as a question. I was actually a part of the WA state hi-lakers and had friends who were in the trail blazers association, both planted alpine lakes prior to and during the 90s through early 2000s. I was mostly curious by your comment, not being critical... Are the cutthroat fertile and spawning in streams naturally or they all plants?

[@BekahEmma]

@@giffish84 I didn't intend to be terse, sorry about that. I'm not sure if this is a self-sustaining population, however, this lake (if it is the lake I think it is) isn't on an annual stocking schedule and they may be reproducing in there. I have an email in to the man who knows the stocking regime. UPDATE: Most of the high lake stocking has been paused since the fires of 2014, 2015 and the bio for this county said that this lake hasn't been stocked since he arrived, which has been awhile. So, naturally reproducing cutthroat in this lake.

[@Jaxisyes]

Where is this lake?

[@bigbodyalan7054]

What lake is it?

[@hookersroe6347]

Nunya Lake lol
