Non-Stop Action RAINBOW TROUT fly fishing the American River Sacramento CA 

Hi Pete! I've been a pro photographer/videographer and Photography professor in Sac area for 40 years and I'd just like to say that your editing is great. Slo mo, different cuts, B-roll, wide, medium and close shots, smooth transitions and more. Makes it very pleasant to watch. I'm a fly fisher as well (mostly small water in the high Sierrs) and have been considering catch and release for trout in the American but now you've inspired me to give it a try.

East side of the Watt Avenue Bridge, I spend my childhood in that river and grew up about a mile or two from there.

I know exactly where this is at! I go cycling up on that bike trail all the time. Awesome video. Thank you!

Sweet action on a fly rod in my backyard. 👍🙏🎣⚒

This video is very entertaining . thank you

Natural fishing is so beautiful thank you for sharing

Love your channel man, I found it yesterday when I was looking for ppl who've fished out of an Intex kayak, and saw your King salmon catch which was dope. The editing and music effort you put into your videos is insane man keep it up

Love the vid dude keep it goin!

Best fishing Video Sir 👍

I think your video is better than fisherman's life cuz you share your viewers location for fishing 👍👌

AWESOME VIDEO :) I live about 15 minutes from here. I have yet to catch a trout in this river but I have caught a TON of shad :) KEEP IT UP :)

Laukna loba mang mantap pisan👍👍👍👍🔔

Keep up the good work 👍

Hey PC Pete... Great watching you have pure fishing fun! BTW that mystery fly was I Fox's Poopah... a great caddis pattern.

Steady boss 'good luck always ensure

good fishing bro👍

Great video! Decided to pick up fly fishing and live pretty close to American River. Glad to see there's trout to be caught this time of year.

Amazing... 👍👍👍 Suksesss...

Nice video, Pete. You inspired me. Any idea if there's a place to camp free and fish up that way?

I saw the neighborhood when you started video and i lived right there for a few years 😂

Sub number 600 here!! Nice

here right now...fly rod in hand for Jan 1 2020

Fox's Caddis Poopah

how many are you allowed to bag per day? are you allowed to keep wild or only hatchery trout?

Awesome day of fishing. What are the regulations for this section of the American? Is it barbless flies only?

Nice job man! What do you think of that measure net? I was thinking of getting one.

If you don't me me asking, is this right under the Watt bridge?

Why do fly poles work so well for fly fishing? What about them makes it work?

Great video. Someone in nor cal. Thank you!

Its a caddis pupa

To stay out of trouble when fishing the American, check the regulations first. The lower American is an anadromous fishery. You need a Steelhead report card to fish it legally now. Cal DFW has the info on their website. I fished it when I lived there from' 62 to '90. Good luck!

Can you catch trout with spinners or bait on the American River? Any advice as to tackle or location as I'd like to take my 12 year old niece out there to try (she lives near Folsom). Thanks!

Hey man how long will these be in the river ??? Can I catch the trout year round ???

It think thats a “Caddis deep sparkle pupa” fly from the fly shop.

I’m brand new to fly fishing, does anyone mind telling me exactly where this spot is on the river?

These fish still there? Is the “spring half pound steelhead” run I’ve read about?

What part of the American?

Hello friend... Your video's cool. keep it up Friendship greetings Always be successful Let's be friends...

Are the rainbows still there, and will they bite spinners or drift fishing worms/powerbait? If so, any spots you would recommend?

Some type of caddis pupae maybe

They got to be stocked rainbows right?

Looks like that fly is a nitro Cadis pupa. Not 100% sure but that my guess

Was that a lamprey eel you recorded?

Pete! Just moved to the sacramento area ( Watt Avenue River Access is pretty much my backyard). Love fly fishing even though im relatively new. Where should I go for some good access? Youre the man!

Where were you in this video in sacramento? Nearest access point?

At 7:55 you can see a steelhead or salmon in the background

Hi pete im new to fly fishing and i have had trouble looking for places to fish in the American river any help?

@2:25 what bridge is that?

Where on the river is this

Fox caddis pupa

Would you teach someone how to fish ? I live the Sacramento area and I’m just getting into fly fishing.

Love the content man! As a fellow fly fisherman I love seeing quality videos of fishing posted on popular platforms like this. I noticed you didn’t wet your hands for a number of the fish you caught. It’d be awesome to see you wet your hands before handling these fish. Reason being: Trout are considered very sensitive fish and handling them with dry hands takes off the coat of slime around them. Ultimately it increases their chances dying to skin infections and vulnerable to abrasion. I’m sure you care about the trout population as much as any other fisherman, so make sure to dip your whole hand into the water if you plan to handle a trout. With so many people watching, they’re going to mirror you, so emphasizing this would also be really good as well (ie. commenting on this practice while doing so to spread awareness). Great video man! Keep posting!

I know a spot In about an hour outside of auburn with some BIG trout. Do you have facebook?

are you allowed to keep those fish? or are they to small?

that fly looks to me be a Fox's Caddis Poopah (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C58j6IlkZ6g.html)

Hi can i still catch trout on the american river? or is it already gone? thank' and nice video

are those baby steelhead or year round resident rainbows?

I live in Sacramento I was just wondering where this spot was so I can check it out?

Non-stop action ?? 😂 5-6 fish.
