Nice catch and release brother!!! Steelhead fishing is very addictive! I try to go as much as possible! By the way, I have the same rod! Keep it up buddy!!!

Enjoyed the video. I just caught my first Steelhead earlier this week. I can see were it's addicting. Hearty good fighting chrome fish. What's not to like? The weather but it's the price to pay. I like how you thanked the fish too. Good move. I'll incorporate that into my releases of SRC, Bulls, Lings, Salmon, and maybe more Steelhead.

Captain Mike Henderson - Thank You and Congrats on your first steelhead!! It is definitely exciting. I always enjoy the fight of a good fish. The weather DOES suck which is why I really enjoy the other 3/4 of the year when it’s not so cold lol. I’m not always looking for something to put in the freezer. I simply enjoy the rush that comes with hooking a chrome fish and the time I get to spend outdoors. I don’t know when I started thinking and/or saying thank you but it comes with respect for the fish and it’s life. Sometimes it provides an experience and rush I was chasing, and other times it provides that in addition to providing myself and family with food. In the end fish are another living creature, and deserve respect. Thanks for the support and feedback. Puts a smile on my face to know you will adopt this same “respect”

I get a lot of hits when it just starts to lift up against the current. Love fishing spinners. I often just raise my rid tip up and down and let the current work it. Some people think im drifting spawn.

Nice catch bro! I grew up and live off sprinwater. I checked one of my spots Saturday and the water was high and fast so I dipped out to a pond past McMinnville and hooked 2 almost 3 broodies off a number 4 black bell with glitter and a silver and chartruce blade. The state cop said that it's rare to catch those off a spinner. Everyone else was throwing power eggs and no luck. How do you like those Caddis ? I bought a pair a few months ago but yet to get to use them. They were cheap enough so I said why not. Good luck brother. Way to start the season! I just somehow found your channel and love it. Your a real dude! Props buddie.

Hell ya man those brooders are fun! I’m not sure why everyone fishes power bait for brooders. After a week of being in the water they will chase down and smash anything you get near them. That’s way more fun than casting out your bobber and bait and sitting there.. just my opinion. I’m liking the caddis so far, they are affordable and that’s what I was looking for. I am insanely rough on my gear.. ask me again mid coho season lol. I’m glad you found the channel and appreciate the support! Thanks! Best of luck to you as well 🎣🎣

I always say “start low and work your way up” no point in fishing the hatchery when fish are just starting to come in.... when the season gets started come late dec and beginning of Jan.

@AnglingAddictsPNW

4 жыл бұрын

Chris Knaus - Thank you Chris! Was it you that mentioned about time put in between catches? That is a great idea. Seeing videos like this makes it look easy, when it’s not. I think I May start keeping track of time, casts, etc. I have fished very little this year. Where I would usually be fishing most of January, I only fished maybe two to three times and only for an hour or two. Basically I wanted to wait until February when fish are typically in and being caught. Honestly the last three fish on video came pretty easy. With the conditions, I knew where I wanted to go and why, and it just happened to work out. So an average amount of time per week would be hard to figure out because I may only fish once in a weeks time because of the conditions, or I may fish everyday. Either way, a realistic view into the in between catches would be interesting to track.

How are the leader and mainline connected? Is he using a surgeon’s / double uni knot? Or a swivel?

Not sure where your fishing but when ya say winter I'm curious if this would work where i live...Here in N.Y. the creeks have steelhead,Brown's and rainbows in them but our winters can be harsh and water temps pretty cold....

Robert Streams - this river is glacier fed, so the water is pretty cold. Obviously it can get too cold to get fish to want to put in much effort but Steelhead and Rainbows thrive in cold water. I hear spinner fishing isn’t much of a thing over there on the east coast but you may be surprised at just how well they work...

Just proves fish are just as active in cold weather.

Michael Brannon - i don’t think they are too big. A #5 is what I’m usually fishing but It’s always a good idea to have a bit of selection. I always use a 5 during this time of the year. Once steelhead come in, and depending on conditions, I start using some 4’s as well but primarily my fishing with bluefox spinners is a 5. Hope that helps
