@@NickInNature Wow! We saw two tents tucked in near the lake and two people were talking in them. We didn''t want to disturb. Is that you and someone else walking along the water in the timelapse? We probably passed the lake at 2pm and left the area at 4pm. Didn't see another person the whole day
Someone saw your video and they actually started a forest fire because of their campfire in that area in june. Fn clowns posts like this. Stay in the bay!!
@1fen You can't blame me for someone else's stupidity. I don't come from the bay either, man. I do more outdoors than you could dream of. Thanks for pushing engagement on my videos though.
@NickInNature you're right, i should try to work on my vehicle with tweezers. Actual tools are too easy🤪. I bet you do do more outdoors than me. I have a job/career. I've hiked that trail fully covered in snow. Because I used to leave a 12ft boat and motor on the shore in the fall, so I could hike in and fish the lake with it way before boat ramp opens! I drive my SxS with snow tracks with boat in the winter and camp n fish different sierra lakes before anyone. I've caught more trophy trout than everyone you know combined up to 23#s. I've towed my boat into lakes miles through snow to fish lakes. I know the Sierra way longer than you son. You probably drive a suburu and hike with hiking poles😅😅😅😅😅 you ain't shit flatlander😅😅@@NickInNature
@1fen Chris, not everyone wants to use the easy route. I could catch fish all day using a reel and rod. Everyone does it. It's gets boring, sometimes it's good to try new things. You should give something new a try.
I was on a trail similar to the one in the beginning of this video at Sequoia National Forest & a massive brown bear came running down the mountain. It was the trail where it leads to a waterfall. It was the most frightening thing that had happened to me at the time..I was 16. Im 34 now. Thanks 4 showing the trails!
As someone that occasionally makes hiking content, I definitely appreciate the extra effort for all the still shots! Dope video man, and that fishing spot around 12 minutes is unreal looking. So pretty!!
Beautiful spot up there !!! Solitude and good fishing. Mr. Marmot was very curious . It was funny seeing him run by your camera . It's been one of the warmest summers up in the sierras, with that huge high pressure dome sitting over the west. I always enjoy your backpacking adventures, thanks for sharing .
@JustinMcKinneyhiker Thanks man your comments always mean a lot. Those marmots definitely took a chunk out of my gopro! Yeah, it's been hot and humid this year, much different than the last!
@@NickInNature The road gate is locked so you'd need to get access from PG&E, NID or the Forest Service. I've walked the road with a float tube, and also hiked down from Penner. There's some nice rainbows in Culbertson, and lots of easy to catch brookies. Glad to see videos like yours of getting out into the wilderness.
Amazing the difference in years and seasons!! We did the same hike in June 2023. You captured some amazing views that we had but didn’t capture. The difference in the water flow is amazing between what we did and you did!
It was amazing. But we didn’t fish. Ran into two bears. One was at the very end on the switchbacks down right in the trail. He just moved aside and sat on a rock and watched us walk by. Lol
We entered near the town of Washington. Here's a link to the trail through Alltrails: South Yuba Trail on AllTrails www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/south-yuba-trail?p=-1&sh=oon6ne
Right on! I'll be heading up there in about 3 weeks so I appreciate this as it gives me an idea of what to expect early June. Any signs of deer or wildlife out there? Also, on your rod were you dry fly fishing or have a nymph on? Thanks in advance!
So, there is camping at the first lake (Carr Lake). I believe it's first come first serve, but you can't pull your vehicle up to the sites. They are a small walk. As far as the other Lakes in this video, you have to backpack/hike to them. Thanks for watching!
Really? According to the Forest Service website there is no fire restrictions in place across the national forest at this time. I hope I'm not mistaken as I always try to follow rules and regulations. Thank you for your comment I'll look into it.
@@NickInNature It’s a standing order in TNF, year round. Were you in a yellow post site? If so, I didn’t know they had them up here, but other than designated recreation sites with fire rings, it’s a huge no no. I personally don’t mind, I was referring to the rangers not liking it and citing all who disobey. There’s a bunch of details such as equipment with a shut off valve, jellied stoves, etc., but open fires in rock rings have been prohibited for several years now. 👍
@@garygolfer3243 Well I gave the ranger station a phone call this morning. They said that might have been the case during drought years. However, the fire order was dropped in October of 2023 and hasn't been introduced again. He advised me that fires are allowed at dispersed camping sites as long as you have a fire permit. Happy hiking!
@@NickInNature HA! More Government crappy information! I’m not surprised 🙄 The supervisors office says they were lifted in December, someone told you October, the website still says prohibited year round, and to top it off my friend Jeff was cited in late November of last year! The old right hand doesn’t know what the left is doing syndrome. So, by trusting the good old internet I’m four months behind the info loop. I’ve got my permit and heading to Bowman next week before they change again as fire danger goes up this summer. Have a great summer, maybe I’ll see you out there 👍
@@NickInNature The right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing around here. The website still says year round restrictions, someone told you they were lifted in October, the supervisors office says they were lifted in December, and my friend Jeff was cited in late November of last year. Like an idiot I believed the website and am four months out of the info loop. I’ve got my permit and heading to Bowman next week before they change again in June or July. Have a great summer and maybe I’ll see you on the trails 👍
I saw them right as I was setting up my tent and was like huh there seems to be a lot of you six legged guys here! Good to know! Definitely thankful for that nice setup!
@@NickInNature Took my boyfriend on his first backpacking trip and some point while we were hanging by the fire at night I needed to use my headlamp and as soon as I shined the light THOUSANDS scurried away. Needless to say my boyfriend was done hanging out and wanted to go to bed immediately. There are some other really incredible spots out there to camp, our group goes out frequently. Have you checked out Island Lake further up Bowman rd in the Grouse Ridge area? HEAVEN. The road is pretty rough but highly recommended! Great video, I’ll give you a follow.
@eleanorgene_wanders That's actually terrifying hahaha. I went a litte further upstream and there seemed to be a nice camp with from what I could tell far less spiders. Yes, I have been up that way a couple times! I love Island and Penner Lake. Although I normally start out of the Carr lake trailhead never been up to grouse ridge.
@@NickInNature Sweet Tenkara rod. I'm borrowing a friend's 12' Tenkara Rod Co Sawtooth. Ended up picking up an Aventik 12' so I don't break his Sawtooth 😄I need to get out there and use it.
💛...beautiful site/sights...i've always heard it called 4-dice creek...also, try to keep a lower profile when casting...i've camped (minimal hike-in) at blue lake (shallow, no fish) which is above the north end of spaulding ...it was chosen because one of the guys in the group couldn't hike far and he had a dutch oven he wanted to try out...let me tell you, peach cobbler (among other things) is outstanding cooked outdoors...
Truly was! Yeah I may have pronounced it wrong, never been to the area! Good tip! I saw that lake on the map and was interested, no fish though that's upsetting. I've had it while camping, I'd imagine cobbler backpacking would be delicious! Thanks for watching and commenting!
