      Perhaps try the same location at a different time, like dawn or dusk. Normally, in the shallows, I'll fly fish; but if there is a dropoff, I'll use a crankbait and toss beyond the drop in order to get the fish that are lingering on the edge of the drop.

      I got to this lake every year in my birthday! Well I camp at the bottom lake but for the past couple years I’ve hiked up to the upper lake and it’s definitely one of my favorites. Absolutely gorgeous views. I am curious as to when to recorded this video because if it’s the same trail I’m thinking it is I’m surprised there would still be snow in the trail in June and July.
      Great video Scotty. Still hoping you do a how to video setup video using a water bobber and flies.

      I liked your channel when you were just hiking and would describe your location. Now with fishing you think you need to keep that a secret and don't answer subscribers who ask.

      What an absolutely stunning lake! I'll have to do some sleuthing and plan a trip out there! 😉 Hope you, Mrs. Sheety, and Lil Sheety are doing well!!!

      I really liked your videos where you give all of the logistical details to give me hiking ideas. These secret location fishing videos are losing their appeal. I'm not sure why you would hide the location since you haven't had much success (ha, ha)

      Water heats up in a drought year, O2 levels drop and trout are sluggish mid-day. Only likely bite in early morning. Perfect little stream for a tenkara set up thought.

      Great video 👌 I know you’re just starting to get back into fishing but I recommend you get a ultralight set up or start fly fishing because it’s a more natural presentation and you don’t need to buy a $1000 fly setup to catch fish. Fish don’t look up and say “oh snap he has an Orvis!” Lol but great video and love the scenery!! Have to find out where that it is and hike it!

      Yu may wanna check regs as any structure holding Golden Trout probably isn't going to allow you throw that Panter Martin with that barbed treble hook. Those treble hooks kill fish fairly easily half the time. Check your regs especially when you're posting on social media….just sayn. Further, if you have nt heard of fly fishing with your spinning outfit …it's very easy and really fun. Flies work when nothing else does. You'll catch browns and quite often bigger fish!
