For the fishing regulations, spots not specially mentioned in that guide follow broader statewide regulations based on the speciss. For trout in CA right now, that looks like with a few exceptions, you can fish all inland rivers with a five bag daily limit, two bag possession. Page 31 of the 2024-25 fishing regulation book 👍

This guy inspired me to not only be a fisherman but to start KZfaq. Without even knowing me he changed my life ngl.

Haven’t seen you in a while. Really glad to see you here! I’m actually going to try fishing after all these years!!

I LOVE your fresh water fishing videos, even if you don't catch anything!! I just love them!

Ive been watching you for a couple of years now back when i lived in California and youve taught me a lot. I moved to Kentucky 2 years ago and i went fishing here about a year ago and caught my first ever catfish. And thats honestly probably the first fish and only fish ive ever caught. I remember catching tiny fish when i was young and fishing with my dad but he was always helping me. This was the first fish i feel like i caught all on my own.

Matts, when you are using satellite maps an area you are interested in fishing, find a topographic map to find the features of the terrain. That way you can plan ahead.

Matt, thank you from all of the people who are stuck indoors who live vicariously through you. lol (no fish, but we get a video)

Hello from Ohio! I just came across your channel with your Dugout Shelter in the Sand Video. I loved it and subscribed right away! ❤Thank you for sharing! 😊

It’s so good to see you again I thought I would never see you post again when you stopped for a while I’ve missed your content your the reason I got into fishing thank you

Love it - great to have a multi-purpose piece of equipment! LOLOLOL! Another classic ‘Matts’ video - really enjoyed it!

Best videos 📹 it's crazy how many years I have been watching them ❤

I've been out exploring doing trout fishing myself. Been watching you for at least 5 years on/off. I haven't been doing exactly the best but I've been averaging 3 fish each time I go out-usually for a day. Thank you for the videos

I appreciate you and the content you post

Thanks for these how to videos on fresh water. I’ve fished the ocean for years but have very minimal knowledge on mountain stream/river fishing. Gonna go have some mountain adventures!

Keep up the great work Matts your the man! All your videos make me excited to watch !

Nice trip man 👏, loved how you change the view every few seconds while you were talking by your car, I'm sure that's a lot of work, but I gues that's what it takes to makes it fishing movie instead of fishing video 🤩, loved it, keep them coming! Sure you will catch some good ones next time 💯! Watching you all the way from Kazakhstan 😉🖐

had to get the camera back lol the fact you are so determined is why I been watching you for a few years now, always trying something different. Love what you do my guy.

Careful out there Matt these videos are excellent for those at home but don't take unnecessary risk. I'd also recommend small jerk baits and micro jigs they are killer for trout.

Trout jumping at 2:53 hahahaha nice

thanks nice place wish i was with you exploring for the fishing spot looks so good

16:20 Love it, supporting a fellow fisherman! Go Fishermans Chronicles!

I’ve been subscriber for a while and today I finally for some reason your videos weren’t showing in my feed. I have a lot to lovely videos to catch up on so stoked. Love seeing you shine!

Rooster tails and panther martens are hard to beat in a catch and cook scenario. Also make sure your hooks don’t get bent after a snag recovery.

@fishermanslife I actually love the adventurous. You should get a dual sport motorcycle to use for exploring new fishing holes. Just makes fishing that much more fun.

Love the video keep it up definitely worth my time watching every time

Thanks for sharing ! Looks like you are really enjoying the great outdoors. Stay safe out there.

Another awesome episode and love the content!!!!!!

Love the informative fishing parts! Moving to Bridgeport next year and will be putting this information to use!

Lol, thanks for being real. The odds of successful fishing these days is so low that probably going to Vegas is easier.

OMG it's 5:18 in the morning and I'm watching the video. thinking wait a minute mentals never said the freshMaker. I could've swore it said the breath Maker 😂😂

You should always carry a few crocs there and elongated spoon, I would recommend a blue fox/vibrax spinner as well.

Last Cast boys 🎣. Love the views

Thank you for taking us in the wild with you Bro...we try to go out as well.

On the Sacramento river for trout I have really good luck with orange Thomas buoyancy spoons. I use like 2/5 but I have to go heavy for the current and how far out I have to cast. But in spots like that it doesn't need to be that big obviously. And what I do is a cast a little upstream, let it sink going down river, anticipate bottom, and give it little pops, that action as it flows down seems to be the most consistent for me. Something you should try also are float setups, specifically slip floats if more than 3-5ft of depth. This was you can get the lure right in their face. Can do this with jigs, flies, etc. Can add scent to them.

I got a really nice PFD fishing vest that I always wear. it has a ton of pockets for all my gear. I usually fish alone also so I want to have any advantage I can get if i fall in. you should really look into getting one and wearing it when you're fishing alone. you fish in some sketchy spots. please be careful out there.

Definitely some goldline rope with some large knots tied in it. Wouldn’t that be important but you sure proved it is. Still love your little underwater fishing pole. Was a great episode you did with catching crawdads and fish while underwater. And then out to the ocean doing a similar thing. Good job, love watching your stuff!

love it 🎣 1:37 man just creators understand the pain of getting those kinda shots! 😂 driving or walking off and returning just to pick up your camera again haha. a lot of work, but worth it 🔥

"Never the last cast." That's a nice tagline. Surprised a fisherman hasn't named their KZfaq channel that yet.

Great video You put in the work for that brown. You had him on for a bit. THAT COUNTS brother.

You make me pray for your safety

I've tried fishing in these mountains many times. The fish in these small rivers and streams are very skiddish and tough to catch. You have to hide and cast. They will come out and eat it if they don't see anybody on the shore.

my knees would've exploded by jumping that 9ft drop 💀

lol Matt, I like your tantrum when you lost the brownie! lmao^

love your vids bro!

“Because that’s what I’m assuming” had me dying 😂

Bring a small boat so you can cross the river and explore more fishing opportunities. Really like the channel

The mentos part made my day. I've been there before!

Love your channel Berkeley In the building

That place has a lot of nice brown trout but be careful… a lot of mountain lions and bears. Tight lines!

“A sword or some nunchucks or something” 🤣🤣🤣 shit I’d rather have a sword than nothing too 😂

ayy another video! keep them coming :D

😢rip camera lens . Thanks for the content bro

I love the net haha.

Didn't know you uploaded, lmao nicee

For a while, Murphy's Law was kicking in. BTW, your "office" beats my office any day of the week.

Get some Wax Worms, it'll be killer for trout fishing in those rivers. Bait to a small hook with a splitshot and throw it out there and just let it drift. If you want you can also add a floater and let it drift. Goodluck and fish on! 🤙

We love you 🙌🏽

Drift a Powerbait Floating Mice Tails on a mosquito hook and a small split-shot weight a foot or two from the hook. Bring various color combos, the fish just might hit on a specific color. Slow retrieve on the way back. Hot on the Kern River. Good Luck and be safe my dude!!

I go into the Sierras all the time and love exploring California's mountain river valleys and am always quite successful and If I can give you 1 piece of advice is this: Wear natural color clothes to blend in with either sky, rock, dirt, trees, plants... whatever your backdrop will be to the fish looking up at you and the 2nd part to this is keep a low profile and cast from "inactive" parts of the pools or runs INTO the active parts where the currents drop oxygen, food and offer proximal swimming depths. Avoid being seen... give them credit as this is their home and have to live being wary of predators... especially the larger older wiser ones. Good luck on your next outing into the beautiful Sierra Nevadas bro! 🏞🎣😊🔥

You are definitely going to find Bigfoot one of these days. Great video as always.

Thomas Bouyant spoons red and gold…Panther Martin black and yellow…get Maribou Jigs! I use 1/8 oz black Maribou Jigs…

I always take worms with me just in case!!! They have never failed me when fishin trout.

Trout magnets

I'm surprised you never use mini jigs. I use the Berkley yellow and white or the natural brown trout colored jigs and always catch. But I also fish 4lb flour. You win some, and you lose some.

If you want to catch trout in those waters. Cut off the tail on a three inch paddle tail minnow. Use a medium speed retrieve and, and twitch it like a jerk bait fishing for bass but not quite as aggressive. Choose a jig head that works well with the depth and current

droppin a comment with luv brutha...rock on fishermans life!!! btw fishing in myrtle beach truly sucks.

another great vid bro miss seeing u post u gotta come back to the coast though man

50mm jerkbait are the way to go for river or stream trouts, anything from the 2-3” range. Just a moderate retrieve with insane non-stop jerk motion highly recommend “Tsurinoya 50s”

Great location. Maybe wear a PFD in case you fall in the water.

Great video as always! Maybe do a video of you making a rope ladder and then testing it out in these types of situations ;)

🎣woo hoo! Yay!!❤🎉

_♪"Doesn't matter what comes, fresh goes better with life..."♪_

About how my morning went today. Plenty of climbing and slipping, but no fish in the fast high water. Oh well. Maybe next weekend.

Although you had your jacket on alot of the times, I also noticed your white shirt was very bright in the sunlight. Something more neutral, (like medium greyish) may have helped. Tight lines brother, keep the videos coming.

Pick up some trout trap or Berkeley tube jigs in pink . I’ve always had luck with those for mountain trout

Should try some BFS bait finesse spoons

Mats, I saw you packed that Glock with ya. Like you said, you have to have some protection in the wilderness!

Jeez Matt, all that peril and NO fish, that sucks big time. I lived in a little town up in Northern California for 16 years, there were two places to fish, the feather river, and butte creek. The feather river NEVER gave me one single fish in the entire 16 years I lived there, but butte creek was an anglers dream. So I feel your pain of getting skunked, better luck next time.

Mentos, the fresh maker!

one upvote for the funny face net

Mentos. The fresh maker!

I like these trips. I would also like to see what else is living in those water ways. Never been there. Don't know what other species of fish are there.

Tungsten flies to get down in those deep fast currents, panther martins.

Invest in some approach shoes. Sticky rubber. La Sportiva, Black Diamond, and Scarpa are all good brands.

ALWAYS REMEMBER, when going into the wilderness to bring your anti bear nun chucks.

Try artificial worms. There are hotdog tube jig I use for trout from bass pro there called trout maxx trout worms. I like using them for trout at the lakes

Great video 👍🏼 my friend I love and enjoy saltwater pier fishing 🎣 I have a recommendation you should get a collapsible ladder 🪜 that can to make it easier for you to climb down and up when you are down there at the river

Bro hilarious when you lost that brown trout! Totally would've been my reaction hahaha! I did that like 2 weeks ago....lost a like 3lb smallmouth 😂

I’ll watch here in a little bit, but the title cracks me up… The forest camping but had to run an extension cord lol unless you can somehow run it from your car if you have some kind of rig for that, that’s really cool but it just sounded funny no disrespect. Can’t wait to watch later bro!

cabelas mean eye blade bait is really good for trout

Try bringing a jar of Berkeley power bait make little ball and a weight.

You should try the Owner Cultiva Mira Shad lure! Fish it slow. It works awesome for me in CA

Use live crickets or wax worms

Scary ass dude afraid of the dark.

Bro using an extension cord to descend is crazy! Honestly, may be worth having maybe 60-70ft of 10mm static rope in your car!

I wish salmon season was open this year , I’ve only gone for salmon once in Feather River in Oroville CA and there was so many people and so many big salmon but didn’t end up catching any

have you heard “not like us” that’s a song that’s been stuck in a lot of peoples heads lately

If it's not automatic catch, I'm not trying. I don't want to go hungry plus a skunk day and we tend to point fingers at the tour guide who idea it was. Nice scenery may not be enough. I'm always around the Jackson ione area but still could not get myself to get lost n find the honey hole. Been reading too much hikers die articles thus why. Last case was Tahoe Mount Whitney, a couple died. Fresh just a few days too. Stay safe n healthy brother.

Tie some knots at the end of the rope. Gives you something to grip on when you’re climbing up.

Try a classic mepps spinner gold and red for trout Northern California
