Overlanding to the REMOTE East Walker River - Part 1

In this Part 1 episode we travel from the eastern Sierra's and Highway 395 to a remote section of the East Walker River in Nevada. My buddy Shawn brings his Gen 3 Tacoma and I bring my Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited for an amazing camping adventure. We spend time battling the weather to flyfish the river and cook some great meals on the Tembo Tusk Skottle. We also spend time exploring other trails into the river looking for that perfect camp spot! Coming soon will be Part 2 where we travel to Lee Vining and the Mono Lake area to check out Rush Creek, as well as fish Hot Creek and the Upper Owens River and camp within the forest near Mammoth Lakes, California.

You really hit some nice areas out there! I had no clue the trails went that deep on that side of the Sierras. We need to link up again before summers end.

[@flyfisher530]

Yes Victor for sure! Hope you’re doing well buddy! 🙌

[@awdgsx415]

Great video and chill adventure 👍

[@flyfisher530]

Thanks Raul it was a good time even though the fishing was lousy! 👍

[@GoldensGoneWheelin]

Great video and adventure Mike! Hope to see ya soon.

[@flyfisher530]

I hope so too! Thanks for watching! 🙏

[@nevilleguard3558]

Great video again Mike. Greg wasn’t telling you the truth the waders did add to that elite figure but it may have been the bacon.

[@flyfisher530]

😂😂😂 So true! Thanks for watching Neville! 🙌

[@TheJaimeRose]

Great video as always! Awesome everything! I guess that’s why they call it fishing and not catching. I’m surprised the “Biteme” pullover Shawn was wearing didn’t have the intended effect. Or, the valve stem cap high sierra stand-off nixed the vibe. I’ve just ordered Shawn 200 valve stem caps. I hope that’s enough. Any how, keep the faith, hit ‘em hard and rip some lip 😂

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! 🙌

I haven't spent enough time along the Walker and it's such an amazing place.

[@flyfisher530]

If you want to get away from the crowds and some scenic geology it is a great place to explore!

[@godsbackcountryoverland]

Beautiful area thanks for sharing. 👍 God Bless

[@flyfisher530]

Thank you! You too!

[@DocWrangler]

What an epic adventure! Great food, great drone shots, great video!

[@flyfisher530]

Thanks Doc! Really appreciate your support buddy! 🙏

[@TrailNewbie]

Loved this one. The valve stem argument was true LOL and, NO, Mike, I don’t think those waders add 20 lbs to your elite figure! 😀👏🏼😂👊🏼👍🏼

[@flyfisher530]

😂😂😂Thanks Greg much appreciate the compliment!

[@onemansthought]

Wow another great video! Hey Mike do you glue your patches to your roof pnls? I need an idea……

[@flyfisher530]

I use hot head roof panels which stick on with double sided tape. Then regular Velcro backing on the patches can be pressed on to the panels! Also keeps the Jeep cooler in hot weather. Thanks for comment and watching! 🙌

[@wayneroberts7852]

Classic valve stem argument!!

[@flyfisher530]

Yes I’m pretty sure it wasn’t me who lost it 🤣

[@eyeamfresh82]

So since we are from the same area basically. What's your views on Tenkara lol. I know your a fly fishing guy so wanted to get your take. Also what's your favorite spots to hit in the 530?

[@flyfisher530]

I think Tenkara is a great way to fish if you are hiking and just want a very basic and lightweight form of fishing. It’s just not for me as I enjoy the casting aspect of flyfishing. Favorite spots in the 530 would be north of Truckee and the Hope Valley areas. See some of my latest videos about these areas if you haven’t already. Thanks for watching! 👍

[@eyeamfresh82]

@@flyfisher530 I’m checking them now. I’ll be up in the Tahoe forest for 4 days up by Bowman Lake the first weekend of August and hope to get some good fishing in.
