Those mountain reflections in the water are really beautiful Jonathan. Love them. TY for taking us along. :)

[@JonathanYentch]

It was surreal. Thanks for watching

[@alant.541]

Doesn't get much better than that. Awesome mountains, blue sky, and an alpine lake all to yourself. The trout was just icing on the cake. Thanks for the video.

[@JonathanYentch]

Totally agreed. Life is good! Thanks for watching

OMG, Jonathan, the scenery is breathe-taking, the reflection in the water, the beauty of God! And the trout, WOW! I can almost taste it. You can't get much better than this. I'm still loving your coffee "whooooo's"! Coffee Mocha, num, num, num! I'm a 70 year woman with health issues and can't get out and walk like I used to. You put in so much effort in editing and picking out the best music to share your adventures with me. Greatly appreciated! Keep safe. God bless!😘

Good job. You've now entered the fraternity of legitimate anglers. Plus you cleaned it and ate it. Your under the spell now. Be safe. Blessings

[@pelagicdesperado9875]

Most gorgeous place on earth. I'm blessed to be able to experience it

[@ruthanderson1758]

You may want to consider getting some polarized sun glasses - they help you to see through the glare on the top of the water so it's easier to see if there are any fish close by or obstacles you need to avoid.

[@JonathanYentch]

Yes definitely gonna be picking some up soon. Thanks for watching

[@coleengoodell3550]

I love that you put in so much effort in editing and picking out the best music to share your adventures with us.

Beautiful video and music. Brought back wonderful memories of when I hiked the Sierras just west of Lake Tahoe 50 years go. Can't do that anymore, so can really relate to your fine videos.

[@therealdeal67]

I enjoyed the video, keep up the great work. Stay safe and take care.👍😊🙏

[@ericguerette3247]

You know I’ve always wanted to visit California and I’ve loved camping since I was super young and these videos not only bring back childhood memories but make me want to travel and see new places. Keep em coming !!

[@markburr6081]

living the dream

[@SummitSeeker546]

Just found your channel. Big fan of the Sierra and especially trout fishing those majestic high alpine lakes. Yew!

[@chanstattoo]

Your video brings back memories. Many yrs ago my husband & his brothers & I would hike in 2 miles or more to camp & fish. One of us would pack a light small pot to boil the water for coffee & such. And another would pack the cast iron frying pan. Some rice, potatoes, flour, oil, & seasonings to spice the fish or crayfish caught everyday. The cooked fish head was always fought over. It's the tastiest part, along with the eyes.

[@gwilsonroute66]

Wow , Cool stuff ..I used to live in Carson City just down the hill from lake Tahoe . Killer trout fishing everywhere .

[@morley_93]

Love the classical music you put in your scenes. really sets a vibe 👍

[@grayeagleswolves]

Hey Gm Jonathan Way cool on the fish

[@michaelthomas934]

Loved the mood music. A very nice touch, with the great views. Catch and cook is cool. Congratulations.

[@Esco781]

Need more of these type of videos

[@iRanDumbTV]

Just had fish tonight and now I'm watching this video, cheers man

[@juddoutdoors7015]

Awesome video!! I can't get enough of the Sierras. Nice work!

[@PochoNews]

Happy for your first catch and cook!!!

[@maxineoliver7404]

Wow-That's very bold of you in climbing up those rocks, but I'm sure that it was definitely worth it-so beautiful!🌄Now that's a bear🐻 container! I'm glad that you didn't give up on catching fish!🐟 For your fish, the seasoning- nothing to it(sea salt, pepper, and olive oil) and for cooking it- easy peasy (a frying pan and a stick to use as a spatula)!🤣😂 Great meal!! Yep, I was expecting that!☕(but with chocolate 🍫,that is a game changer)!

[@alexanderweaver4838]

I found the best trout fishing are the lakes on the June Lake Loop. My brother is well known for his trout catches in the area. He's never been skunked in all the years he fishes up there. He lives in Lake Arrowhead and parks his fifth wheeler up there somewhere during the warmer months. In the winter he stores it in San Bernardino. Beautiful hike and great photography work, Jonathan.

[@conniewaite1996]

Oh my!that's a beautiful area

[@chingp7583]

You sure know where to find the best view 👍

[@JonathanYentch]

There’s no bad views in the Sierras 😅

[@CAgirrrrrrrrl]

My most favorite place in the world- high Sierras. I never tire of gazing at all that granite.

[@ariesapparel5944]

Absolutely Beautiful congratulations on your fish catching.

[@00duck72]

Woot woot!!! I knew you could do it! I've always thought of myself as more of a gatherer but, I may give hunting a try now. Thanks!

[@Tatted_gunna]

What’s crazy is this is my backyard and I have yet to do a backpacking trip.. This video is very motivating thank you!

[@rosemariereade131]

Beautiful video quality ! upping your game ! great fish cook'n too :)

[@Dogeyess]

Love your videos Jon! Always a pleasure watching them.

[@mariannlyda9509]

Gorgeous views! Congrats on catching your fish.

[@tim7462]

Nice video…Beautiful lake.

[@theathjr]

I’m backwatching your videos and yelling through my phone…”its a trout stop setting the hook !!!’ Haha. Just Keep tension. Ive been fishing the Eastern Sierras for almost 30 years. Beautiful country. The Western Alps.

[@hannahzander9541]

Absolutely stunning. Really enjoying your channel.

[@bobpeck8013]

Congrats!! Trout is so yummy.

[@JonathanYentch]

It was delicious

[@kitaoden703]

Congratulations on your catch 🐟 Beautiful hike

[@JonathanYentch]

Thank you! It was a beaut

[@SeanLawn71]

Getting prepared to head up to the High Sierras to fish. I have the same bear canister. Heavy but like you said it is what it is. Great video as always.

[@JonathanYentch]

Enjoy your time up there. The bear can is definitely worth it though to ensure your food stays safe lol.

[@sarahdanowitz4802]

I love your videos - really enjoying this adventure. Glad you finally caught a fish:)

[@carl986]

I'd recommend looking into Tenkara (Japanese fly rod) very compactable and great for high mountain lakes. Great video as always.

[@JonathanYentch]

I’ve been considering getting one. Looks like a lovely style of fishing. Cheers!

[@yvngsoto2603]

“You gonna eat the skin” “Hell nah I ain’t eatin that sh!t” hahah Thanks for the video. Absolutely beautiful out there.

[@deborahlozano7134]

Enjoyed the video very much:)

[@JonathanYentch]

Glad you liked it :-)

[@antlerjones9772]

You have the most amazing intros between the drone shots and music. Major Kudos. And how about that squirrel? Gotta be the fattest one I’ve ever seen.

[@joshawesome1557]

Dude that would be one fat squirrel 😂. I believe that animal was a marmot.

[@TeamDreg]

Great video!!!

[@JonathanYentch]

Thanks my dude!

[@chipsbarranco]

Loved the piano music.

[@foreveryoung140]

“ are you eating it?” “Nah I ain’t eating that shit” 😂

[@JonathanYentch]

Lmao

[@memitaylor4323]

😋 now I want fish, it looked tasty, enjoy your trip💗

[@dorabeltran5086]

Hey great job Jhonatan!! love from Htown!

[@JonathanYentch]

Thanks for watching, cheers!

[@mattstakes7047]

Beautiful stuff! Glad you got that skunk smell off ya'. LOL. Congrats!

[@horsenaround2000]

Yes, certainly did enjoy watching your video.. I was so happy you actually caught the size you can eat. When will GF come on the fishing trips with you???

[@markive9907]

Brookies in the high country,the best ! Caught those with a gold hook ,no bait in the wemenuche wilderness of Colorado ,whilst Elk hunting ! Best eating fish .

[@joeyallenoutdoors9086]

Hell yeah, brook trout are my favorite to catch and cook. Got me excited for the sierra this summer. I'll be up in the mountains for the next couple days but sadly no fish at the lakes I'm heading to for this trip but I'll put up a video. Catch and cooks definitely on the next couple trips though. Just subscribed, hope you put out more videos like this

[@snowbirdgardener1]

I have a rod just like that and I am glad to see how you are supposed to use it. Thanks!

[@RetiredTony]

Cool video bro!

[@lindaalaniz7129]

Your video's are stunning and intertaining.😊

[@DavePierceJr]

Defiantly would have a drink before walking that!

[@christopherkennard5819]

Looks awesome up there. Bet you would of had a great day on the fly (hint, hint). High alpine lakes are great for dry - dropper rigs. Tight lines!

[@rodoguerrero534]

You should do a video on your hiking/camping gear Great catch btw

[@headygz]

Love this spot my guy

[@adoraa5996]

Save the best for last, the signature coffee “wooh!”

[@JonathanYentch]

Woooo! That chocolate coffee was extra good

[@theathjr]

Small container of lemon pepper works great for catch n cook backcountry trout

[@sheilacaine3962]

Loved it

[@Bitcoin024]

Really enjoying your videos Jonathan! Going to be converting my ford escape for camping and definitely gonna visit some areas in the PNW! Keep up the great work 👍✌

[@jorgeandrade2593]

Awesome video man

[@phoebevanderhorst7760]

Congrats! Ummm could we get an update on the truck/camper situation please?

[@JonathanYentch]

Still finalizing a plan but an update will be coming soon.

[@keshonbutler8811]

“That’s some good meat for a lil guy…..mmmmmm the skin” PAUSE 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 15:35

[@Mike_Blanda]

Awesome video man!!!! Maybe I missed it but what trail is this dude?

[@TheT-BOT]

Also another note. Those clear blue containers have been defeated (cracked/shattered) by black bears. The all black ones are better and will most likely be required sooner than later in the Sierras (those clear blue ones are banned in Smokey Mountains). 2nd, not all parks in the sierras require bear canisters. Some parks like Stanislaus allow bear bags.

[@AdventuresofScoJen]

Good job.

[@joerice6565]

So when will you be posting pct thru hike videos? Looks like you’ve got the setup!

[@crawmaster6039]

Beautiful camera shots what what are you using to film

[@kadogshowtv7222]

Good Job!

[@jameswilson9019]

Who cares if the fish are biting, the scenery is awesome!

[@JonathanYentch]

Good point! But when the fish bite it just makes it that much better 😉

[@James-sir]

Always carry Lemmons and or Limes

[@JonathanYentch]

True, that would’ve really elevated it.

[@octaviosuarez3511]

hey what trail is this man its looks amazing
