GOLDEN TROUT: Sight Fishing How To 

* Sight Fishing for Golden Trout How To *
The culmination of a summer's worth of backpacking trips. I've invested heavy amounts of time trekking around the Rocky Mountains searching for what I consider the holy grail of trout fishing, the Golden Trout. Now, I love all kinds of trout fishing, and I definitely go through phases, but in the end backpacking for goldens is at the top of my list. (right next to ice fishing for lake trout)
I've learned a few things along the way so here is my attempt at a bit of a "how to" video. I hope you're able to learn a thing or two. But if not, hopefully it just gets you daydreaming about next summer's adventures!
NOTE: As Rich Osthoff said, "Backcountry waters could be more effectively managed-but before that's likely to happen, the fishery as a whole needs more advocates". The exploitation of wilderness areas in inevitable. With an ever growing population, it is so important to get as many "advocates" as possible speaking up for the protection and preservation of our wilderness. Do your part to be an example of showing respect for these backcountry areas. They should not be taken for granted.
Sportsman are inherently secretive about "their spots". I am no different. While there are many places I wont mention or post about, all the locations in my videos have already been "exposed" and are "relatively" easy to find with a quick google search. Those individuals who have the desire to put in the amount of time, miles, and research it takes to find these water bodies are exactly the people we need advocating for them.
Researching potential fishing spots is an extremely enjoyable activity for me. Take a look at state stocking reports, read a few forums, pick out a couple lakes on the map and get at it!
