Scrappy Browns and Rainbows in the East Walker River (NV)

[@davidmaxwell1821]

It was well worth it to see this area,the solitude,beauty of sierras is always welcome since I'm 300 miles away.

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

Right on. Glad to bring the action to you.

[@ricravier961]

Nice video, (as always). Haven't been up there for years. Last time was back when we could catch Lahontans in Walker Lake. I need to find some old photos, but I think we caught a LCT up in that area too. And plenty of Browns.

[@deakemarschall2992]

Love the Hee Haw reference. Goes perfect with your Minnie Pearl fishin' hat. Another great video that shows us all that to catch fish, you gotta' put in the time.

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

Right on. This one took a bit of effort to find success.

[@ctruthtoday]

That's hard fishing, great work.

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

It was a grind. I'm just glad I got some fish in the net.

[@philmanglicmot2528]

Your honesty is refreshing. You have a good heart and are a tough soul.

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

Right on. Thank you. That was a struggle out there but it was fun for sure.

[@peterbedford2610]

Can't wait for the ice fishing!!

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

I hope it happens this year. Think cold!

[@steveoliver500]

Nice fishing! Thanks for the vid!

[@truewealth50]

Thank you for the Video Nice brown :) Armani, Hoping we get some rain this year...its been too dry so far this season.

[@mikeroll9868]

Another good winter fishing video. Ma I wanted to try that upper section below the dam. O well

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

I might look at it next Fall. The die off mainly effected the first two miles from what I was reading.

[@mikeroll9868]

@ ok I won’t give up on it.

[@tannarieber8015]

Unfortunately fish kills in the East Walker have happened before. Kind of the perfect storm sets up in Bport Reservoir because of its shallow nature. Cattle grazing upstream of the reservoir does not help. However, fish will go thru the dam, and survive to start restocking the river. Plus fish will hopefully move upstream towards the dam and re-seed the area. Yes, it will take time. Happy Holidays Amani. Rick

What a shame about the fish kill in the East Walker. So many big & beautiful trout wasted.

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

My thoughts exactly. I read 8 and 9 pounders where belly up. Total drag.

[@edbarnowski7895]

Good time to go fishing. nobody around

[@evanwada]

Hey Amani, just wondering about what kind of jigs you were using?

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

!/8 Oz Marabou. I have a video on my fishing tips playlist where I go over the different types of jigs I have had success with in rivers.

[@GNappers]

I went to Burney Falls in May and was told by a family friend of a big die off in April at “the riffles” of 30-40 big fish. I wonder what causes that. Maybe an algie bloom.

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

Not sure what caused it but that's a total drag. Such a waste.

[@terranceanthon5182]

I really wanted to see the carp

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

It was a big carp but shook the hook after a while.

[@Austin-ey6ps]

Are you from truckee love the vids

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

Right on. I live in the reno area now. Most of my life was in CA. NorCal through high school then SoCal until I moved up here 5 years ago to work on my channel. I got stuck living at the beach in San Diego for way too long.

[@djregius]

Love the t-shirt.

[@wildernesswithamani1027]

That was a great tour. Was with Soundgarden before the end.

[@garystevens1044]
