How to Read Steelhead Water with Scott Baker McGarva
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
When I used to guide for steelhead, the number one question I heard was about reading water. Some rivers can be challenging to figure out... Most of us know each run has a head, body and tail, but how do we really break it down so we know how to fish within each of those sections?

By far the best video for reading steelhead water.
Thank you so much for sharing your valuable knowledge in reading water to put the odds in my favor in catching a steelhead. Or two! From a new friend in fishing. Ernest
Love this video. Lots of good info in there. Scott taught me to fly cast back in a class he taught in like 1993/94 out back of Berry's tackle. He was always great to talk to and very friendly and knowledgable. Helped me out a lot. I literally know how to fly cast because of him. Beautifully put together video too. Nice work.
Ohh I have been waiting for a video like this one for a long long time😍 I saved it in my play list so i can watch it 300 000 times more,,,,, lol Thank you so much! Wish I could hit that like button more than one time hahaha. Tight lines
Thanks April and Scott. I am new to spey casting, salmon and steelhead fishing. I appreciate all the valuable information. I also appreciate the reminder about fishing the water well, regardless of catching fish! Most excellent!
I was looking for a video on reading water for targeting a river for fishing, so thank-you.. picked up a deeper smart sonar but this is better.
I really appreciated this video. Beautiful water and background with solid information. Thank you!
Great info and one of the most important things to know when steelheading .
Great video! I've been fishing that river for a few years so its nice to see some homewater. Definetely some beautiful fish there :)
Thank you, April, for another great learning video. I really appreciate your guests!
You're the man Scott. Great video.
This is a great production, fantastic job.
Beautiful shots and some amazing info here for new Steelhead fishers
I work a run from the bottom up 100% of the time. I pull steelies out the back door one after the other, working up the run, and not upsetting the entire thing by catching the first one at the top then fighting it down through the run. 10x more fish.... and yes i am nymphing, because i like to catch a ton of fish.

Great video on many levels... and one of my favourite places to fish...
Great insights! Pleasure to absorb this mindset!
really well done ...i enjoyed that and scott is a boss !
Love this video. Thank you very much
Oh yeah, I just want to say , incredible information, top 👏 notch 👌 quality, time and energy and more time, is quality, this is by far , epic details of what you're looking for, altogether, its incredible how steelhead do setup in such skinny water as they move up into those locations, I realize its a lot of time and respect, to reach that goal and spiritual success in life. Just remember respect what you love, give back more then you take. Epic quality. 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Good vid. Very practical info. Well done
Really well done, Thank You !
Nice video! Learn a lot!
Sage advice Scott 👏👏
Good advice . Thanks for the video
Awesome Video!
I can’t remember if this helped me or not but I remember watching it . And I’m definitely catching fish so who knows
Thanks so much! You are like a virtual mentor lol
what is the song up to 2:25? Captured the feeling of being on the water
this was awesome for me
Is this west coast Canada?
Good 👍👍
I’m the opposite I cut my teeth on the fly and have since switched to a centerpin. Much more fun to fight the fish without drag and really allows a lot more complexity where everything from the angle you hold your rod to the subtle shades of jig coloring, to the shape of the float has an impact on your catch. It’s a ton of fun to tweak and tweak and then figure out that the switch to a different shot pattern makes the difference between a skunk and a banner day. Of course fly fishing has this aspect too but I think to a lesser degree. For me the flies generally are reserved for the inland fish.
A bump with a big ol jerk set ;)
Leave fish alone spawning...😆😆😅.....come to michigan Very good video..btw
Pfttt...why make fun of a fly fisherman using an indicator. There's different ways of catching a fish using a different fly fishing techniques, nymphing being one of them. You can use any different approach fly fishing if it works for you CATCHING many fish, it works for you PERIOD

Right? That’s what I always try to explain to folks when I throw my weighted treble but they never listen. It catches fish though, PERIOD.

Agreed! We run indicators for Westcoast run chrome and is extremely effective for side-drifting/ boon-dogging. In fact just today we out fished the traditional swing with indicator!
Lol conventional you are funny
Did you later make fun of yourself for using a float set-up?
Sooo you make fun of people who use an "indicator"(bobber) but you throw a rubber worm with a bobber the size of a donkey turd! I make fun of anyone uses above her to fish!

Indicators on fly rods, because then you might as well float fish…:)
Unlike conventional fishing.. what asshole doesn’t start at the top of a run a work down.. any serious angler knows this and sticks to it

Well generally most fly fishermen move up river and most float fishermen work their way down . People get too choked these days. We should all be friends and help each other like we do within our own small circles . If we all mutually respect and love the fish then we should work together to preserve the resource and help it grow
