WILD Mountain Trout Fishing & Mushroom Foraging! 72H SOLO Catch, Cook, Camp!!!

In this 72h Trout Catch, Cook, Camp adventure, I go solo backpacking to a remote lake for mountain Trout fishing! This Trout Catch & Cook took me through the woods, and into the Mountains to a pristine, alpine lake, FILLED with massive, hungry, Rainbow Trout. Besides the delicious Mountain Trout Catch, clean, cook, enjoy beautiful scenery and nature.
