Alpine Lakes Trout Fishing with LIVE BUGS! Catch & Cook!!! 

Thank you Jordan. Those are very kind words, and I fully agree with you. My favorite fishing is just going out, connecting with nature, sustainably harvesting, and eating the catch right then and there... Will be doing more videos like that again soon... To a 1M community one day 🎣

All the best 🙏

Turn off the tail verse

Charles Martel only times he does that is when keeping the fish is illegal!!!! The joke is on you.

That's because positivity and happiness is more contagious than depression. Hope youre ok bro.

That's y I come here. He is able to do wht I love. Whish I could 2

Same.

Yessir.i could not agree with you more.and well for me personaly.im a short fuze.but this guys attitude and down to earth wayz just makes me see a different way of seing things a bit mote litely

Your right these videos do make you happy, I want to go to lake ann soon & fish & hike

I notice he does not set the hook, he yanks it out of the mouth, and if the hook sets, he cranks as fast as he can, probably ripping the mouth.

Thank you! I'm glad you found the channel as well! Some great catch & cooks coming up!

Same here cant stop watching lol

Nik 🤣 👌🏻

That’s what I love to hear! Going chanterelle hunting and fishing today too! Definitely my favorite activities, and a great way to become one with nature. So glad you enjoyed the video 🎣 🍄 🔥

Great post!!!! We are one with his videos. He goes to great lengths to bring informative videos to my computer screen. A great person in all respects.

Thank you for the kind words! When I’m out fishing, I always feel like you guys are right there watching with me 🤣🎣 Glad you’re enjoying the videos. More to come!

Yours and mine both! It's funny this video never performed well. Is still by far my favorite. Bit long, but that is the backpacker/alpine lakes experience. Not just about fishing.... Thank you for subscribing, and enjoying the videos. I will be sure to get up some more Alpine Lakes videos before winter!

Thank you!!! This was so far my hardest (yet favorite) adventure...

Thank you for the kind words, Jacob! I’m glad you know what life is all about. Really just moments like these when we get to connect with ourselves, friends, and nature. Nothing can beat it. That being said, I always want to improve the videos, so I absolutely welcome criticism (except they left none 🤣🎣👌) Fish on my friend, I hope we run into each other in the Sound as well!

I'm glad you joined the adventures! And you're right, fishing is about learning and experimenting. Can't be taken too seriously.... Glad you're enjoying the videos 🤙 Tight lines and see you for the next one!

Thank you Jacob! This one kept me busy... 🎣

Taking the skin off a trout is like a PBJ without the peanut butter 😂

Thank you for your support, Benson! Love making the vids for you guys 🎣

NW Fishing Secrets do you have patreon or whatever? So people can donate money to help the cause?

I thought about it, but didn't feel it was something I wanted to do. There is a go-fund-me to help contribute to the new GoPro Hero 7 which gave us 4K and hypersmooth video. Besides that, the easiest way people can contribute is just buying their amazon stuff through my affiliate links in the video descriptions! Don't even need to buy what I'm linking to. Amazon pays about 5% on anything people buy when entering their site through my links 😆But the bottom line is that I'm not really worried about making money here. I want to focus on a fun, local fishing channel for you guys, and make good videos. It's hard work, but with the growth we're seeing, I am determined to make it my career at one point! Wow, long answer! I really appreciate you caring...

Where were fishing at I would love to do that I’m disabled veteran and love to fish and the outdoors and hiking like that’s if you can please let me now in the private email hookedonfishingcarlos@gmail.com or anywhere nice for me to go in the summer when salmon opens I just go to Tacoma cause I can’t go far had back surgery thanks keep up with the videos

@@NWFishingSecrets you are a good guy Dude . Love your attitude . Bought my first fishing rod and will by fishing soon here in Texas .

Thank you for the kind words, Charlie! I'm still learning too! Just start a channel and document your learning experience. Time flies fast, and you will soon be teaching others how to get on the fish! Every time I fish for something new, I feel like a complete newbie. I know everyone always says this, but half the fun really IS learning how to catch something new. Especially with friends makes for the best times... Thank you for watching the videos, and can't wait to show another next week!

Broadcasting catch and cook success in Washington state ruins fishing in Washington state. Just saying.

@@TheImpizzle911 How's that?

@@thomasw178 everyone likes the idea of catching wild fish and eating it out of respect, but seeing as fishing holes and rivers have become unexpectedly more popular (the population of people old enough to fish has gone up, the whole catch and cook being broadcast, and an influx of people into the fishing community due to the coronavirus) recently, I can't help but connect the dots between seeing the tourist population at local spots explode, the number of fish/quality of water decline and not to mention garbage. I don't think this guy litters. Right on 👍. But holy shit has it become a problem even on the trails to alpine lakes you see on apps like Reddit and tiktok. Not to mention people who hike their paddle boards into warm water lakes or rivers and hike them somewhere else without knowledge of how easily you can contaminate a water body with excellent water quality and turn it into a marsh. Kinda on my soap box, only because this is my favorite hobby and I've seen it happen to various of my favorite spots. I only mean to be informative here.

Thank you! 🎣 I hope my future wife thinks the same 😂

LOOOL dude, I've been there and googled Notellum Creek before...... It gets everyone 🤣 Now it's your turn to troll others 👍 It really is a hidden gem of a lake. And there are so many others like it. Just gotta get out and explore... Thank you so much for watching and enjoying 🎣

@@NWFishingSecrets I think googled pulled up a lake in another state and it was then I thought harder.. no,tell,um.... Washington is a perfect state if you like trout and salmon fishing. I've encountered a lake that has some 5-7 pounders pushing around 25". Big bows but the lake is pretty tiny.

Lol I felt the pain 🔥 🎣 😂

He needs to tighten the drag up

He did say he was using light gear.

The hook were probably small for trouts i use from 2 to 4 and is good...then he also made the error to recover the line too fast...you need to follow the trouts not just pulling it it to you

@@NWFishingSecrets chump!

Thank you!! 100% agree - I’ve learned so much since this video, and those hooks were total garbage. Not sharp at all actually. Was just back at that lake this week. This time with Gamakatsu. No fish lost 🤙🏻 🎣

This comment made me smile more than anything else today... The video never got traction on RU-vid, but was by far the one I put the most effort into! Thank you for enjoying it 🎣

🤣 🌮 🐟

Glad I'm not the only one doing this! Thank you for that advice! I will probably do another trout episode with your technique and will compare the two! Done this at city lakes, but have not fished the bottom of alpine lakes yet... I appreciate you watching 😎Stay tuned for more!

@@NWFishingSecrets for sure, just got to adjust how big of bait vs how much marshmallow you use. You want to usually go small, but still want alot of buoyancy for floating off the bottom. Catch more fish with smaller presentations in hot weather, since the trout are more lathargic in hot temps. Look forward to your results, we have done it with everything, worms,corn,salmon eggs,maggots,pieces of clam,crickets,corn,grasshoppers,dragon fly nymphs etc.

Using a worm inflator might assist in the natural/small presentation... I have to say, I'm aching to try some of those baits you're mentioning here......!

@@NWFishingSecrets sauted shrimp is a good bait as well, my fathers favourite bait. works really good as well, sauteing them toughens them a bit and makes them stay on the hook way better.

King_Of _Fishing and the trout still like em cooked? 🤣 Any seasonings? If the bite’s slow, it’d make a nice snack

Thank you! Can't wait to do some more trout fishing, and will be experimenting with smaller hooks!

yep, 12 and 14 are excellent sizes for small baits. I use #12 and 14 for steelhead fishing in the Great Lakes tributaries

I use size 10

Believe size ten would be best. Use them with stone fly nymphs and have good success.

Yes! Also hes rod is too short for this fishing style. He need 3.6 m or 4 met. long rod.

🤣 It broke my heart as well, fly fishing that lake for hours with no takers. Those were the most spoiled, fat and happy trout I've ever encountered. They could tell a real bug from my flies way too easily. I'm new to fly fishing, but there will be more! Looking forward to feedback from you on how I can improve! 🤣 🎣 Thank you for subscribing and enjoying the videos!

NW Fishing Secrets it doesn’t seem like that lake gets very much pressure... if you put the right fly on they’ll take it but that’s the hard part, picking the right fly haha. Try midging in that situation. Just drop a tiny zebra midge under a small bobber or throw a woolley bugger/streamer. If I were you in this situation... I would try slow stripping a black leech pattern first since you said they liked bugs. Good luck man! Happy fishing, love the content 🤙🏽

Thank you!!! I really appreciate your advice. So much for me to learn about fly fishing. Will definitely be doing more!

I agree with offering them a leech pattern. I can’t tell you how many trout I’ve landed using woolybuggers. Black, and olive. You can’t go wrong, try them both, u won’t be disappointed!

Can’t wait to try. About to do more trout fishing

Agreed! Learned a lot from that trip. Feedback looks like letting them gobble longer, then less drag... Can't wait for a re-match! 🎣

You are the best 😂 Thank you

Haha thanks man, just want people to enjoy the videos! Everything else is a bonus 🤙🏻 🎣

It did 🤩

I watched a video where they grilled a giant puffball like a steak. Think I like to try it but never seen one in southern Illinois

I appreciate that Randy! Let’s go fish sometime this or next week and we can take a look at everything. I’m usually between Snohomish and Olympia.

Thank you! Love that Ruger.... and the mushroom is a King Bolete! Delicious 😋

I'm in Washington USA near Seattle! Used to live in Europe for 18 years in the Black Forest. The mountains remind me of back home.... Lots of mushrooms back in Germany!

Love it! PM me on instagram or email me, and we can catch some. I'm keeping lakes/streams/rivers secret, so no fear of burning your spot 😊 🐟

Of course I'll send you an email

I actually PMed you

@@Unpluggedoutside hey im just across the river in ellensburg and we love big fish in small water! We found a 40lb chinook under a snag in the american river a few years back and would love to meet up and find some solid small stream fish. Ever done cooper lake?

@@jessicaraye1119 yeah I live up at whistlin Jack's close to the American river

Turn off the tail first

Dude I can’t wait for river kings. Gonna be out there slaying with eggs. Still have some old nasty ones from last September in the fridge! Should work great! Will be sure to post videos of this 😵😝

@@NWFishingSecrets cant wait been fishing the nisqually for the last week hooked monster but lose it in a snag cut my line but had a great 8-10 mon fight 20+ on 10lbs not much better ok cant wait to see some more videos

Dude, that sounds like an epic fight. I had one like that last year on the Green, which ended with me losing a massive hen on a submerged log. The pain will go away once we land another beast! 😂🐟 Is the Nisqually pretty packed with people, or are there some private spots? Never fished that one before!

Very true 😂 and one cricket!

LOL 😝

Thanks - so many things led to losing those fish. Hooks were a main factor, as was me not playing them long enough/ having the drag set too tight. Redemption following in the next episode!! 🔥 🎣

Jeremy Wade always gas a hook sharpener for that reason.

Means the world to hear, thank you 🙏 🎣
