[@HuckOutdoors]

So much fun today! Thanks for having me!

[@TroutWest]

I can't tell you how good it was to get on the water and fish with you again it was good to see you ...we will make a habit out of it. Lot of good times and adventures to come no doubt.

[@B737Matt]

Nice to meet you out there today!

[@HuckOutdoors]

@@TroutWest For sure!!!

[@HuckOutdoors]

@@B737Matt Good meeting you Matt!

[@tommystriewig565]

Great meeting you man! Thank you for being so inviting and always tight lines!

[@TroutWest]

Absolutely... stay in touch fellas. We'll see you dudes on the water

[@SuperBaconFishing]

Good point, just caught my tirst two Trout last year, but struck out at Santa ana river lakes twice, next week Im going to Silverwood lake, in the spring Im going on Jason’s 20 lakes Basin adventure, you’re so lucky you get to fish with him, just found yours too, nice content!

[@TroutWest]

Glad you found the channel!

[@todzilla151]

Going to Silverwood this next week! Stoked on your post here! Where would you recommend? Where is the spot you fished in this video? Can you share please?

[@TroutWest]

No recent plants so this video's spot isn't fishing like this at the moment... hopefully they get some plants to help produce this bite again some day. Good luck at the wood!

[@wrbrd90125]

Awesome! I was there a couple of weeks ago and was skunked. Haven’t had success there lately but maybe I’ll try again next weekend. Thanks for the vids- very informative.

[@TroutWest]

Thanks for watchin'.. Good luck out there!

[@SourGrey]

Same. And Gregory was fun but skunked there. Too cold and maybe bad spot

[@ManzanoMan_Adventures]

Awesome lake to go fishing in. At 26:39, that was a nice catch.

[@TroutWest]

Thanks for stopping by the channel dude! I'm looking forward to getting out there and camping with you Roger and Matt

[@ManzanoMan_Adventures]

@@TroutWest That would be sweet for all of us to hook up and do a trip! I enjoy your videos man.

[@TroutWest]

@@ManzanoMan_Adventures I'm really going to try to make that happen this summer or this coming fall

[@barbaraemerich1921]

I use to live in The Lancaster area. Now I live in Idaho and love the fishing here. We have ponds and lakes all over and they stock constantly

[@kennedygonzalez1867]

I've been fishing the local oc parks my whole life and I agree with you fishing around the city has been changing for the worst these last couple years it really sucks

[@ricklopez3733]

Thanks for update on where to fish in winter. Been stuck in San Bernardino. Don’t like County lake & San Diego lake so crowded now . I just made plans for convict lake in June.

[@dogg91702]

Hey thank you for the vid, the first place is that to the right of rocks and little store?

[@TroutWest]

The whole video takes place in Miller canyon

[@dogg91702]

Urban Outdoorsman Thank you sir🍻

[@BCARPENT]

Hi was wondering what classifies as Southern Sierra Opener? Thanks your videos are great!!

[@TroutWest]

March 1 marks the opener of the Southern Sierra trout season. In addition to the open year-round waters, the small streams on the west side of U.S. Highway 395, flowing east from the Sierra from Independence Creek south, are on the angling agenda with stocked CDFW rainbows the target. The same day, the Lone Pine Chamber of Commerce hosts its annual Southern Inyo Early Opener Trout Derby headquartered at Diaz Lake. Local waters are primed with stocked rainbows, with the lake water receiving a bonus plant of heavyweight Alpers rainbows.

[@BCARPENT]

@@TroutWest Thanks man, I'll be up there. Just went to big bear scratched 4 in four hours but the bite was tough. I think they're starting to move west.

[@Goomba_N64]

If shit hits the fan this is where I’m fishing this lake is right below my property

[@TroutWest]

LOL, you and all of Hesperia. Good idea though

[@Goomba_N64]

Shit ill have to block the 138 with some Boulders or set some tires on fire haha I’m jk I’ll just go fishing at night or something so nobody shoots at me dam Hesperia haha

[@GoldenStateFishing]

Saw you guys today it was a good day

[@TroutWest]

it was good to fish with you guys out there...

[@HuckOutdoors]

Good seeing you!

[@GoldenStateFishing]

Huck Outdoors hey bro we make high quality minnows and mini jigs if you are interested in trying some

[@GoldenStateFishing]

Urban Outdoorsman same to you bro I’ll send you a few if you want to try them

[@HuckOutdoors]

Shoot me an email at [e-mail]

[@Matthew-Dunn]

Looks like a perfect day of fishing! Nice catches. And that huck is quite the fisherman!

[@TroutWest]

Heck yeah, he's a stud

[@HuckOutdoors]

☺

[@rebeccajosteelman563]

Good to see you guys, thanks for sharing!

[@B737Matt]

Snooze you lose for me today, got there just a bit late. Thanks for the tips, hope to get out there again soon.

[@TroutWest]

No worries you know the story now and I'm sure we will have plenty of big days there in the near future.

[@johnjchaconjr9771]

Awesome vid with awesome info as always, 👌🏽thanks

[@sikk5150]

Was there earlier today, caught seven trout with jelly beans, flavor of choice rootbeer.

[@TroutWest]

Nice work!!

[@svenmorgenstern9506]

Noice! Was up there a couple of Saturdays ago, back end of Miller, water level was lower than what you're working in the video, aaand it was pretty blustery. Few folks did OK (2-3 fish per) but a lot of skunks. I scored nada, but still had a pretty good time. Might give it another try in a day or two.

[@TroutWest]

Fish should be there! Let me know how you do!

[@johndrake1542]

Great video. Got skunked today fishing the rocks to the right of the marina. How far is the hike from the parking lot to Miller Canyon? Do you take the "bike path" out of the marina? Thanks

[@TroutWest]

It's a little over a mile 1 way depending how far you go.

[@PredxRaptor]

LOVING your videos brotha. Recently moved to CA for the IBEW. I've only been to Big Bear and Santa Ana River Lakes so far, but I havent been skunked yet. It would be awesome to see a Lake Irvine report!

[@TroutWest]

I've been working on getting down to Irvine lake since they opened it back up but we've been pretty distracted with some of the other spots. I'm going to see about doing a combination day of Santa Ana River lakes and Irvine lake in one day. Stay tuned

[@CC_Marauder]

Irvine Lake is being described by OG anglers there as a tiny, dirty, cess pool that has not got stocked in some time (as of 2 months or so ago). Call the marina (ha!) store first to possibly save yourself a lot of wasted time and effort.

[@troutbandit9097]

Thanks for the information on the good spot at Silverwood

[@davidf2699]

Wow what a nice bite! It was great to see you slaying em on spoons. The spoon bite at most of the Orange County park lakes has been slow to nonexistent; minijig fishermen have been doing most of the catching down here. I'm thinking of hitting up Wohlford soon as I've heard you can catch and release there unlike the rest of the San Diego area lakes.

[@TroutWest]

Let me know how you do!

[@mikecheck1256]

Beautiful lake, thanks for the tips brotha 🤙🏼

[@gavinfreemanvlogs5764]

Love your vids man

[@dannyspl]

I'm trying to figure out where you guys were I guess you are at the far end of Miller Canyon and then you walked around the finger

[@TravelsThroughNature]

Great fishing!!

[@TroutWest]

Thanks dude!

[@Hector_Outdoors]

Thanks for the update! I'm going to have to give it another try next weekend

[@TroutWest]

Gotta get you out there soon no doubt! Hit up huck for detailed info... you have his #

[@Ricky714SA]

Nice Vid, I’m planning on going out there by the end of this month. Where do you recommend me to try ?

[@TroutWest]

Depends on the plants.. but Miller canyon shoreline is a strong bet.

[@HeliJim400]

Wow, what an epic day! My daughter and I heading to Silverwood this Sunday, any suggestions on where to go? I'm tempted to try where you were fishing but I can imagine it will probably be crowded. I was thinking about cleghorn as well. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[@TroutWest]

Send me an email at [e-mail] and I will give you some good stuff.

[@robertzavala8814]

Do you know if they stocked this week for the holiday weekend?

[@Love2Wander]

You guys know what your doing question how many fish do you keep and what's the best way to dispatch a fish. stay safe and tight lines.

[@TroutWest]

You can keep 5 trout at this lake... We didn't keep anything they all went back in this day. The best way to dispatch a trout as by whacking him in the back of the head. The top of their head basically. Others will chop their head off.. some will tell you that cutting it in a way that lets it bleed out... By cutting the throat area below the Gill plate. If you're going to eat them the best thing to do is probably cut the Gill plate... Or just knock them out so they don't swim around and bruised up the meat... Plus it's a little more humane.

[@Love2Wander]

@@TroutWest Thanks more I learn the better I will be.

[@TroutWest]

@@Love2Wander Get out there with us on a trip some day... we'll get you hooked on some fish >)))*>

[@Goomba_N64]

I own a acreage right above this lake the view of this lake looks beautiful. I should by a fishing license and head down there and fish.

[@travisbrooks1430]

Awesome video!! Thank you for the tips

[@kutoyz1]

Thanks for another informative video. Like all of your videos. I’m new to float tubing and haven’t been out yet. Would Silverwood Lake be a good place to tube for trout?

[@TroutWest]

Silverwood is an amazing place to float tube.... Cleghorn is perfect for it... miller is great too but you have to hike your tube about a mile before you put in. Typically this time of year you don't need to tube to get into fish, but in the summer you will definitely still find trout that way.

[@freshej6]

Awesome videos Do you know when they get the next stock ? I want to take my son fishing

[@TroutWest]

Next week...

[@GettingBentWithBo]

Ahh man! You have been having quite the 2020 man! I hope to meet up with you one of these times. Do you ever fish from a boat in any of these lakes? I want to bring my skiff out one of these times. Or join you on shore I don't care! =) Happy fishing!

[@TroutWest]

I boat on Gregory... Or Silverwood. I usually float tube

[@santosmiguel7977]

Great vid man! Hopefully I’ll be able to fish up there this week 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@TroutWest]

It's been pretty good, definitely worth a shot!

[@stevencorwin6681]

I haven't done too well at silverwood. Maybe access to certain spots would do me good. If you have any suggestions I would appreciate them. thanks......

[@TroutWest]

Fish one of the 2 inlets... Cleghorn creek, miller creek. The marina to the left of the boat ramp has been pretty good the first 2-3 days after a stock. I heard they stocked last friday there, and today folks were catching 5-10 a piece average.

[@gavinfreemanvlogs5764]

I’m heading to big bear next weekend where should I fish?

[@TroutWest]

Juniper point.. or any shoreline near it. It's going to snow so it will definitely affect the fishing a little bit. I'll be up there very soon..stay tuned for a report.

[@lukevillalobos4106]

Do you use 2lb test with lures?

[@TroutWest]

Yep.

[@aceayala5]

How often are they stocking?

[@TroutWest]

It's been about once a month... No schedule though

[@josebanales9514]

Heck yeah!. You guys scare the hell out me for a second. I almost call my doctor to tell him that I heard voices... actually two of my favorite fishermen on KZbin in the same video. Then I found your video, watched it and found out that you two were together fishing out of Miller Canyon when I was working. Would de fun fish with you some day. Thanks a lot .

[@TroutWest]

There will be some meetups are pretty soon so stay tuned for the open invite it would be great to meet you!

[@matthewhawks2005]

How in the world are you using spoons in those weeds? I was there today in that same spot and the weeds were so thick, i tried jerkbaits, and Texas rig, just got caught up every time. Also tried bobber, no luck. I just chucked it past the shallow with a Carolina rig, felt like it was my only option. Still went home without a catch. 🤷‍♂️

[@TroutWest]

Take note of the time of year.

[@phillarelano4850]

whats the algea level at low or danger

[@TroutWest]

Very very low

[@EverythingTrout]

Awesome man! I need to give silverwood a chance again, could never figure out the lake.

[@TroutWest]

Send me a message or post up anytime and I will point you in the right direction

[@EverythingTrout]

Will do! Heading up to Big Bear tomorrow... hoping to find some spots to fish.

[@bryantace4463]

Hello whats a good spot to fish this weekend? 1/18/2020

[@TroutWest]

Silverwood,big bear, Glen Helen has a Derby Saturday..but Sunday might be fun there. A lot of city parks in LA and oc got plants too.

[@bryantace4463]

@@TroutWest thanks for the info as always very helpful!

[@uglycatchfishingcrew6110]

Were you guys fishing the end of the canyon

[@TroutWest]

Yes this is the end... when the water comes up that will change. They had the pumps on today

[@ethani6284]

was there a private stock or just a normal dfg stock? I know when they stock just didn't have the time to go up

[@TroutWest]

Nothing new... Same state plants.

[@arahikt]

Nice video. How to get in touch with Jason and ask some questions?

[@TroutWest]

Search Huck outdoors. Or look in this videos description

[@OfficialParkit]

Maybe I'm not putting in enough time for the fish gods, but every single trout fishing I do I get skunked... I went one day after stock at fishermans retreat and didnt even get a bite. What bad luck! Wish I could go to silverwood tomorrow to hopefully get ONE

[@EverythingTrout]

Take a look at your setup. What were you using for bait, how long of a leader? Lures? Are you changing it up? You're right though, need to put in more time on the water bro!

[@OfficialParkit]

@@EverythingTrout I threw mini jigs, kast masters, rooster tails. Power bait, power worms, mice tails, and even some crawlers lol I was changing my rig between a 6inch leader to a 10in to a 14in to an 18in max..

[@EverythingTrout]

Just sounds like it wasn't your day... maybe bad spot on the lake. Just keep putting in the work man, you'll get it eventually!

[@TroutWest]

@@OfficialParkit while some of the videos look super easy...there's also a lot of experience and time spent on these lakes... I have fished these lakes for many years.. There were several people fishing right next to us then didn't catch a thing. my best advice is trust in your own abilities and don't worry about what other people are doing. Focus on fishing the stuff you are using properly.. make the most of the tackle. They're very subtle things like reeling speed casting distance... Pausing after a missed bite. Slowing down to let the fish Chase. On and on there are a lot of variables but don't be discouraged at all. I guarantee of you stay with it you will pick it up. the days that you do catch that's the day that you want to experiment so you learn how to use other things. make sure you stop in on the meet-up we are going to have in the future we will be more than willing to pass on what we know there also .

[@OfficialParkit]

@@TroutWest I will forsure be at the meetup if I can work my schedule around it! Thanks for the words guys. I definitely won't give up just a little discouraging this trout season.

[@jonmacdonald5345]

Yall slayed it out there my dude!

[@littleriveroutdoorsman6514]

Beautiful lake

[@kevinbastian908]

Where did you guys park

[@TroutWest]

We had to park in a different lot because they have the typical parking lot for the trail blocked off this time of year. Pretty much you just have to park where you can and walk in. This particular day we were inside the park . Parked in the first parking lot you come to by the marina.

[@kevinbastian908]

Thanks Urban Outdoorsman.

[@kennedygonzalez1867]

I'd love to fish with you one day urban outdoorsman whether it's up in the sierras, Utah, or local parks never been to utah to fish but I really wanna make a trip out there

[@TroutWest]

Stay tuned there are some meetups coming really soon.

[@thegoodfriendsnetwork]

Can you eat the fish there now? After that big algae problem I don't think you were allowed to eat the fish...

[@TroutWest]

Yeah you're good to eat fish there, but mercury causes a limit to how many catfish,striper, largemouth and crappie you should eat.

[@masterofnone1481]

Was there not to long ago, fished the marina than hit up cleghorn beach... water level was EXTREMELY LOW!!!

[@TroutWest]

Yep it's come down again! Bummer

[@realfishingsocal4365]

Do they charge to fish and park there like at the oc parks or glen Helen. I never been there.

[@TroutWest]

Just to get in... $10

[@shatter2608]

I was tossing 5 inch spoons to catch little ones. Haha

[@davidmckay5788]

should be good fishin ..... they just stocked it the week of 1/5/20 according to the fish and game site

[@TroutWest]

Trouting at Silverwood is very good year round.

[@thedude5-6]

3 mile hike for anyone going after they watch this

[@TroutWest]

It really depends on where you park. But it's about 1 mile in 1 out for most areas. If you walk around while you're out there at all it can turn into 3-5 miles.

[@thedude5-6]

@@TroutWest my first trip I went all the way to the east side entrance and walked on the north side of East fork. By the time I got to serano beach I was to wiped out to make it to jamajab point. Next time i try Miller Canyon I'll park in a turn out and hike down cause that was a day killer of a walk for me 😄
