Backpacking High Mountain Lakes - Tenkara Fly Fishing

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?

The union of hiking and mountain fishing is truly incredible.

Nice! I can’t wait to put my bear tooth rod to work out west- from South Carolina.

Excellent; thanks! Love the high mountains and the gorgeous lakes!
If you've never; try, landing a lake trout into ready, hot fry-pan! Nothing fresher; lifetime experience!
Thanks for the great video!

[tycechapin]

That was so great. My first Tenkara rod comes tomorrow. The Sierra. Have a packing trip into the Sierras planned for June. It’s going to be just that kind of fishing. Stoked!

Dang man...that looks so cool. Ya'll definitely picked the right spot. The SLAY was on!!

[anonymous]

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.

[OhEmGeeGee]

Tenkara is like the fixed gear bike of the fishing world

[thomassharp]

That was awesome. Those are some really nice fish and a great example of Tenkara lake fishing. I'm suriuos about what mountains you were in.

[jeremybarker]

Ain't NOTHING better than tenkara for a food-getter as well as entertainment on a hike if you don't have to be somewhere at a certain AND.... my entire fishing kit including rod weighs in at under 5 good as it gets
