Bill you haven’t fished the big water ?what are you doing get out there !!! Nothing like it they actually have water to do whatever they want lol when I was a kid I got spooled first cast with a Cleo never forget it
I go to college at the University at Buffalo and was wondering where you went to get water access? is this far from north tonawanda? I plan on trying the niagara river for steelhead this year.
The rod in this video is a Shimano Compre. It’s 12’6” light action and the reel is a Lews Mach Crush. But in my opinion a rod over 10’ long medium light action and a reel with a really smooth drag is what you need. Good luck!
I can tell you first hand it’s actually a little soft for the conditions and size of fish we are landing. It bends well and the tip is fast but there is very little backbone in the rod. It is however one of the only spinning options with length beyond 10’.
STEELHEAD!!!!!!!!
Yup!
There's nothing like a fish that gives you a hard time! Lol
Haha! Wouldn’t have it any other way!
How deep are you fishing here ?
Depending on current speed you’re like 8’-10’ down.
NICE 👍I got to try there one of these days
There’s no place like it. We love to fish it.

@@Floatdroppin fished Devils hole plenty of times over the years but got to try this spot if the hike down doesn't kill me
I just subscribed to your channel. Got a 👍🏻 from me. Tight lines!
Thank you! A lot of good content coming up.
What size aero float do you run down there?
We use a 3/4 ounce slip float.

There are a number of state parks along the length of the river and all provide access to the water. Good luck!
How deep are you running your beads?
Anywhere from about 12’ to 22’ depending on location and the speed of the drift.
@@willsworldoutdoors true I've only float fished it once i usually go by boat and bottom bounce but may try from shore also this year
I would have used the snow as a cushion instead of rocks for fish to be released, idea for the future.
What rod and reel do you use? I want to start float fishing for trout but i dont know where or what to start with.
