Fishing for the LARGEST Trout Native to America! || California Gold Pt 4 (Lahontan Cutthroat)
Fly Fishing California for Lahontan Cutthroat Trout!!
Redd's Flies: https://reddsflies.com
The Lahontan Cutthroat is a unique fish. It’s the largest of the trout species native to North America, can survive in temperatures pushing 78 degrees, and can live in saltwater… something you wouldn’t think a landlocked trout could do. Having originated in the high deserts this is one unique looking trout, so when we had to hike another 4 miles to find some open water we didn’t complain too much. But this creek was tiny.. so small in fact that at first glance we couldn’t see the water because of the overhanging grass. But when we came up to a Culvert crossing we immediately saw trout.
That was some genuine excitement. Andrew then proceeded to sit down and drift the fly through the culvert and caught yet another cutthroat. These fish had either never seen fly in their life or there are so many that they felt the need to eat anything that touched the water. And these fish were big for the size of water they were living in… which is not surprising considering they can quit literally grow in excess of 40 pounds in lakes and rivers. But it didn’t stop there, this ended up being some of the most ridiculous fishing we’ve ever had.
You can’t help but to feel fortunate when you’re plucking trout after trout out of a tiny little creek like this one. I’ve had some hard days of fishing, but this definitely wasn’t one of them. It made the hike up to this section of water worth every second.
We honestly fished for less than 2 hours and felt like we had caught enough fish to last a lifetime, most of which we didn’t even put in the video. These Lahontan Cutthroat trout were some of the prettiest cutthroat trout I’ve personally ever caught. But to be honest this day was kind of a warmup.. because we knew that day 6 in California was going to find us hiking into the middle of nowhere in an attempt to catch the RAREST trout on earth. That’s right folks, you won’t want to miss the next video.
