There is nothing better than backpacking up to a high mountain lake and catching wild Trout. We hiked past a few different lakes to bushwhack our way to this gem of a lake and it paid off! The Westslope Cutthroat trout were nice, the weather was great, and the netjobs were extremely mediocre...

Backpacking is the jelly to our peanut butter. The baguette to our cured meats and cheeses. Agree?

What rod are you using. I’m looking for something Versatile. Thanks looks fun!

@kholtzen1 4 года назад

I identify wolf tracks for a living ...that one looks pretty legit.....Nice fish 🐟

@tannerflake163 4 года назад

Yeah those tracks were a long ways off trail so it’s unlikely that it was a domesticated dog. That area is know to have lots of wolves!

why don’t y’all say which of your rods you’re using….and flies. looks like the Sierra rod fir Tuna, and the Sawtooth for Drew? I just got these two, but have not used them yet. Nice to see they can bend quite a bit without breaking

What rod length and leader length did you use? What an awesome video!

@tenkararodco 2 месяца назад

Typically on a high mountain lake I will do 13 ft. line with about 3-4 feet of tippet. But sometimes I might go smaller or longer just depending on if I can reach the fish or not!

@tenkararodco 3 года назад

I'd say it's more of the single speed version, it's fun but not going to be for everybody. I also think its funny there are people that think their method of catching fish is "cooler" than other peoples... when at the end of the day you're throwing a line and fly to a fish, just to catch it and let it go. Cheers!

Tenkara? Heck looks like my Grandaddy's cane pole but with a fly line instead of mono and bobber. LOL No, seriously, it's something I want to try. What state was this in? It would be that much lighter hiking the Beartooth lakes without carrying a reel. Well, slightly lighter.

@flywheel9759 3 года назад

Had a day like yours at a high lake near Mt Lassen, some bushwacking and some using all four going up. Caught lots of nice cuties. You guys must be vegetarian, I always pack lemon pepper. Nothing wrong with a couple iceout holdovers sizzling on a stick. Short lifespan for most of those airdrop planters.

Shoutout to you guys for at least trying to maintain a low key spot, most large channels suck at it but I appreciate you guys trying. May have to buy a rod as your rods are practical for the narrow creeks ive been exploring.

Ya we understand that its hard to keep places completely secret these days but we are definitely not trying to blow up any spots. Hopefully everyone just gets out there and finds their own spots because that is half the fun.

I would probably say the sawtooth is a good option because it is still really light weight but very capable.

Hi@@cycloneranger5354 I took Tenkara's Owhyhee which was great for the rivers but there wasn't much I could do at lakes... if I had the possibility, for a similar trip, I think I would choose a travel fly rod from REYR gear. If you're only willing to use tenkara rods, then even the tiny Beartooth will be a great choice!

Welp guys ....... I got out there and fish a high mountain lake in SoCo and hooked into some cutties just like in this video. My Sierra rod performed sooooo good ! Unfortunately a day later I fought a big 15” 🌈 and the rod broke at the #6 section. I think I fell on the rod during the fight causing it to break. I caught at least 50 trout in 3 days with that awesome Sierra rod. I absolutely love it ! Take care 🤙🏼

@tenkararodco 4 года назад

Yeah its beautiful up there! We were mostly using the Sierra, Teton Zoom, and testing out a new model we have coming out. For lakes, sometimes you'll want to use a longer line and just know it'll be harder to land fish. But luckily here, the fish were super close so we were fishing 8 ft and 10 ft lines with about 3-4 ft of tippet tied on.
