 Well fishing freaks, we are back in the mountains welcome back y'all We are doing a catch-and-cook Coconuts salmon live up here in some of these mountain lakes and we've actually moved camps We were at a river camp and we were catching some browns and we did a little trout fishing down there some rainbows It was awesome But we have moved locations up farther up in the mountains higher altitude We've actually been stuck in the rain for the last 36 hours So we as we were coming in it started raining we realized we weren't going to be able to camp right on the water at the lake because We wouldn't be able to get up My buddy doesn't have four-wheel drive and in fact I had to tow his camper up a big hill And he almost ripped his awning off of a tree had to do a little a little over landing session there But anyways, we're good at our spot right now We just have to drive to the lake the lake conditions have changed a lot since the last time I was here So I'm not really sure how we're going to be catching these fish But I brought a lot of tackle and I am hungry. We've been rifling through our meals in the fridge So it's time to catch and cook some salmon and we might run into a few rainbows But let's get some fish on the line figure them out have some fun All right guys. We're actually gonna just start Right here by this little pond because the water looks full fish look active Just looks too good not to try. I've got some new Fly line on here looks like there's some rainbows Surfacing it's gonna shoot our fly out there See if we can get one on top. Oh, yeah, I just saw another one surface out there. Oh, there's one right here Perfect cast. Oh got him. Oh He took it got him. Oh, little guy Little guy. It's nothing like those giant rainbows the other day. They're a little feller. Yeah It's not even an eater You want to see rainbow trout in me See the pretty colors. Can I touch it? Yeah, just a little bit Okay, we'll pull them back in the water right here. We'll watch it swim off. Okay There he goes. How was fun dry fly Awesome, so I'm gonna try to catch a couple more of these they're surfacing out here and then Then we'll head to the big lake try to get some cocanese If I get my net hook back You're a little high. Am I? There it goes. All right You can see those trout way out there I put some new line on here before I left and this This fly line is amazing It's made by Rio and so it's it's weighted More up front and it just shoots the line up there so good Probably gonna cast farther than I ever have right here. Oh, yeah That's farther than I've ever casted. Oh Got it. There we go. That was a sweet strike right there a little better fish too Right on top. Look at that Kids are so pumped right now and see the fish Come here, buddy. Ah There we go One rainbow trout. Well, he's wobbly. He is a wobbler, isn't he? That's a good one That's a good eater right there actually I think these are all stocked anyways. All right guys, this one's going on the stringer Stick him right in the lake. Oh Oh got him ate it on top. Whoo, baby. That's fun. That's a little one. You want to net it for me, Amy? Yeah, no the one I got on The one I have on Amy See it. Well, I gotta bring it in closer. Here step down right here. Good job Good job, Amy girl You've got it my net girl It's not as quite as big as the last one. Yeah, you want to let it go? Uh-huh. Okay. Why don't you go? Go put your net in the water and you can let it swim off Yep, you gotta let him out There he goes Ben didn't want the fish to go Oh, the hook actually broke on this fly broke gotta get another one. All right guys We got a we got a couple of trout right now Kids are Enthralled with the fish. They're so fascinated by them That's the first time Amy's ever netted a fish for me. She's pretty pumped little Ben just wants to hold them But if I can get a couple more that are a little bigger, I'll keep them and then we'll move on to Coconies My opinion they're a little tastier, but catching them on a dry fly right now Can't pass that up. All right. I'm putting on the rainbow killer Put on a tiny little pink nymph Supposedly good for rainbows. Oh There it is. Got him Got him on the rainbow getter Little jump. Amy. I got a fish Well, you want to reel it? Okay, this reel is a little different, but here you go Hold it real with that Hold this right here. There you go. I'll let you know when you need to stop.

There you go, Amy. Good job Yes, you did girl There we go. All right, Amy. Hey, you know what? I think we can put him on a stringer And we can we can cook him up tonight Won't that be good?

There's another fish, Ben You want to put it on the meat necklace? He's just all about it I remember when I was a kid with the nets. Just give him a net. Well, he's also hooked on his line. Oh He's hooked on his fishing line Yeah, it's a rainbow I'm still seeing him surfacing out here. I'm gonna keep casting the kids. They're having a good time Happy wife. Happy kids Fishing is good. Life is good. All right. This nymph is just ultra slow sinking So it's almost like a little emerger. Oh, there's another one. Oh, we came off Uh, I put on that rainbow killer nymph And I'm just I'm just like working it under the surface Oh, there he is. Oh No Of course Can't lose my rainbow killer I only got one of these Oh Oh, no, I broke my line anyways They're biting out there. Dang it Well, I broke it off I have to tie another one on Dad got it Oh Oh that film Got him Hey, Amy. You want to reel this one in? Yeah. Remember to hold the rod high Yep. Can you hold my hat too? I sure can Hold the rod high. Yep reel him in There you go. Oh, I think you're letting line out. You got to go the other way. There you go There you go I like your technique or are you just going to run back with it? Hold on, Ann. Hold on Keep it coming. Oh, that's a pretty good one there Okay, we got him Whoa Oh It just throws my sage rod down Good job High five, Ben Got a fish, Chloe. High five. Got a fish Slow high five It's a good eater. So All right guys while we're at it. We're going to try to catch one more We'll have our four trout Limit and then we can move on to cocanese Just a little bit of rain starting to come down a little mountain weather This rain has just been with us for the last Two days it seems I'm just watching my line to see if it just twitches Not using an indicator, but I'll see it just Just twitch real quick and I'm setting the hook I've only missed one fish so far. I've been doing pretty good. Oh, there's one Close. He was close in Let a little guy get my hair bigger than that. There you are in the net, buddy Rainbow killer Go flies out Flies out fishes out Keep saying one more one more. I don't know if they're going to get bigger than that, honestly There we go. Got him rainbow killer This is going to be the last keeper I think What? Yeah, just rod bent Rod bent with rainbows in the mountains Got to smash it All right, look at that. I was not expecting to catch our limit of rainbows Just going full cocanee mode, but Now we got a mix of both Calm me down, buddy. Keep you in the water right here Get this little rainbow guy. I don't want to lose this fly That thing is obviously working. I'm going to try it in the lake too. All right guys, we just moved spots We got our rainbows I'm going to try to do after some cocanees A little different area now And we got some weather coming in so Suiting up for it So I've got I have my flies in here, but I also have one of my googan Bass mafia small tackle boxes And it's got all of my spinners in it So I could just switch up if I want to fish the spinning rod or go fish a conventional or fly All right, so we'll take these down there. I think I'm just going to take my uh my spinning rod And we'll try to get a couple of cocanees on here because they're just so tasty There's one spot I really want to go to that I've usually caught a few But I have caught some fish here before it was just a lot lower See if we can find any little Point or anything sticking out It's going to hold fish. That's usually where I get the cocanees eight-ounce spinner Going out in this clear water Make sure our drag's set unless we get a case we get a sizable salmon on here Oh, there's one. Oh my gosh cocanee second cast Forgot how crazy they are second cast cocanee on Well, yeah, we were unsuccessful in getting a salmon But we do have our limit of trout and in fact all I saw in here was trout I had um, I had one salmon on my second cast and then it just I don't know the bite turned off something. I don't know, but we got plenty of fish for tonight, which is good And we're gonna clean them right here so cleaning trout The way I like to eat them at camp We'll just cut them up through the belly here go up to the gills And then cut them right behind the head And we'll just take the guts and the head all out at the same time And then just press your thumb along that spine Get all those little Little juices out a good rinse a good thorough rinse And then that is going in as a block So once we get all these cleaned We're taking them back to camp looks like there's a thunderstorm might be rolling in So we'll go ahead and get that fire started get some coals going and get these fish on there to Preak's sub optimal conditions right now More of this mountain weather we've been trying to dodge this rain Last four days and today it actually held off a lot for us I'm really thankful that I got an opportunity like a four hour stretch to go fishing and not have to be in this stuff And the trout on the fly was was awesome at some point either elk hunting or just camping It just rains in the mountains and you can't really check the weather the weather updates. I normally do get They're not very accurate Before I came here. I just made sure I had one of these one of the problems I've had up here with starting fires is lighters just tend to not work I don't know if it's the altitude that the temperatures Uh, a lot of your basic lighters just don't work up here So I always want to make sure I have a fire kit and another way to make a spark So I do and that's where the bushcraft knife is going to come in here. Just second I have Some cotton balls in here and I also have a very special ingredient That I harvested last year up here in the mountains And that is fatwood now fatwood once you get it lit If you have just a basic lighter and you can get it lit this thing is like a Like a candle it will just stay lit allow you to get some other little small Tenders or or small little Kindling on top of that and get to keep that fire going now. There was some coals in here But the rain just kind of put them out And unfortunately, I don't have a whole lot of kindling That is really dry I do have some dry oak in my truck bed And I do have two pieces of pine that I've kept under my awning So basically all that's lit right now is our is our fatwood And some of this little pine these small little pine Branches I'm trying to just dry them out if we can get those going I think we'll be set We got some fresh pine split Throw in some oak We now have fire y'all so Hopefully this rain if it just stays like this we'll be fine And we're gonna season up those fish and some tinfoil butter. Oh my gosh. Remember burning calories out here You know they're always gonna taste good. It tastes better at camp keep doing your thing I don't think that one could be stopped now That's a certified oak and pine fire Perfect combination of crackle the pine heat And longevity of the oak All right, we got our clean trout laid out right here And we're just gonna put a little bit of butter in there You know probably about an eighth of a stick or an eighth of uh Yeah, no no too crazy just a little bit about a pinky width size of butter Stick it in there and then my best friend For this has been spg Salt pepper garlic can't go wrong with it by the way shout out to gentry customs for getting me this knife Before this trip started i've been waiting like five months to get this knife and uh, anyway, he got it to me before this trip Absolutely gorgeous camp knife one i'll have For my the rest of my life probably it's just been uh, it's just been perfect for slicing cooking batoning You know starting fires doing all that stuff. It's been really good. I've been impressed with the knife All right spgm up Good on the inside little on the outside Key element that was missed on this trip was a lemon But it's all right. We're gonna make up for it with our uh more of our honey. It's gonna be excellent Just double wrap these so one on each side. We got just enough coals Going already to get these fish going The rain has stopped Amy we're cooking our fish over the fire And you caught one of these fish That's what too much time Inside of the camper will do That was a good bird dragonfly High five Yeah, there we go. Good job catching these trout too You hungry for some trout? Okay. All right, we're gonna to we're going to attempt to flip right now She toasty he is toasty What have you put my son in He obviously does not like it He was crying because he touched something that I'm doing five minutes each side That's how I'm judging it. Just put it over hot coals surrounded it with some That's about it. So um thin layer of tinfoil too. So there might be a couple of crispy spots, but Okay, man. So you gotta do what you gotta do When you're in the mountains and you're hungry it all tastes good anyway Okay, it's been about five minutes each side actually a little over I took some extra coals laid them on top I'm gonna call it good. I am going to call it good and we got rice Cooking over here. Hopefully it is uh doing something I'm here steaming rice. There we go. It's gonna be a little Oh I'm not complaining one second because I haven't had to cook A single time on this So yeah, as long as you take care of the squirts and let me go fish. I would gladly do all of it So All right, we're gonna take these off of here guys and uh Play them up Moment of truth is the tinfoil hot. We got butter dripping now All the trout all the trout I don't know the key is if you want to know If they're done is is that skin is just peeling off And they do be doing that They do be doing that I will tell you when you take his camp and I feel like you earn major brownie points Why is that?
