Back in November of 2022, I had an idea brewing in my head. As an angler who’s passionate about exploring that next destination, chasing that next species, it's impossible for one fish to stop interrupting that train of thought, Steelhead. The absolute unicorn when it comes to chasing fish with a fly rod. Many could agree or disagree, but my opinion stands that Steelhead are one of the most challenging fish to chase, fool, and then catch on a fly. They are unpredictable, they are grabby, not hungry, and they entice us with ease into playing the most angering mind game.
My buddy Derek Litzsinger and I spent all our high school weekends running off from our parents and sports practices to go camp in the back of the truck chasing trout and steelhead anywhere that sounded appetizing. We loved to explore. We drove 22 hours from Idaho to explore some of the most pure steelhead genes left on this planet. We swung for six days straight and were rewarded. I hope you all enjoyed this video.

“Whatever happens from here, we did it. We did it. This is what it’s all about”
Absolutely breathtaking film boys. Proud to be a friend.
Love you boii !!
Man this reminded me of my brother and I. We spent hundreds of hours together fishing for steelhead and every catch was exciting as the first. 50 years old now and it still gets me excited like I am 13 years old again!!!! Great video boys, enjoy all the time and make more time !!!
Wow!! He took it on the strip? I was waiting for it to surprise you on the drop.
Appreciate the stoke. One suggestion: perhaps a net for all the fish next trip?
Maybe net regulations?
You got it right guys love your excitement and your drive, way to go
12:02 What a beautiful heavy jump!
Gave me chills
Love the excitement and energy you bring to the sport. I’m blessed to have these amazing fish just a short drive away. Cheers Darren from Vancouver Island BC
We are blessed to have viewers like yourself! You’re the people we make these videos for!! Appleton Darren!!
Super jealous. I remember my first steelhead on the swing. 2005, October, on the Clearwater. Caught two fish that trip. One 8 pound fish, one fish pushing 20. So numbed to watch that fishery go downhill over the last 20 years. Congrats. Great trip. Great video.
Yeah it's not good floods didn't help it's one I didn't talk much about even 25 yrs ago.
good filming boys ! really enjoyed this one
Love the shot of you stringin up your rig with 2 rod vaults on the roof😂
Spey rods are too long for Rod Vaults.
@@jserra17you just break them down in half….rookies man
@@Odhege8262 the reel seat on a Spey Rod is 8 - 12” up from the rod butt. The portion of the Rod Vault that is large enough to accommodate the reel is much too shallow - it’s not even close.
Only 2 fish, but a trip of a lifetime nonetheless. Nothing better than that tug. Great job fellas.
Damn near brings a tear to your eye, I just bought a fly rod and I’m lucky enough to have a great steelhead river near me in Ontario! Inspiring stuff
One of the best fly fishing video I ever saw!
Luck and dream for big steelhead with your best friend traveling in Canada - came true.
Good job boys! Life is good for you! You did good! You are the best ❤️
Great job guys, it's something I too have accomplished with a good friend and will always remember and carry with me until I die! These are things that we as fishermen always dream of and few accomplish, look forward to many more years and adventures with your friend and be safe!
Allways appreciate a purist and a true angler
Great video guys. Much appreciation for you not naming any of the flows... respect.
Amazing film! Enjoyed every second.
Great video! Special friendship right there!
Awesome film guys!
Great job on the video guys! One thing, you drug both fish up on the rocks to land them, not good for the fish. If you can't tail them in a couple feet of water then use a net man and save our fish. At least you kept them wet for the most part and no hero shots with them out of the water. Your excitement was palpable.
Love the video, but that anchor placement at 0:13 made my butt pucker lmao
Loved everything about this. You two are what true long lasting friendship is all about. Your shared passion for fishing has formed a lifelong bond. 💕
Absolutely incredible
This was a very touching video about fishing and friendship. Loved it! Great fish boys!
Well done, keep sharing your adventures!
Fantastic work thanks for sharing!
Wow awesome video! That’s definitely a trip of a lifetime!
Great video, great fish, amazing surroundings but the best is the relationship and the camaraderie that you guys have for each other! Well done and thanks for sharing!
Great seeing you young guys gettin it done!
Fantastic!
Amazing!
Incredible Catch!
Thats what its all about!! Love the videos !!! Good things are coming to those who work😂your channels GOING to blow up
Brilliant boys 🤙🏻
What a trip.
such good fish boys, well done
Sick fish!! I am glad you got it in. I couldn’t believe y’all didn’t have a net hahaha 😂
Reel sounds and looks like a bearing is going out. Has that rattle/scream. Had a fly project Montucky that corroded like crazy. Two incredible fish though.
Love the vids bro! So high quality. If you’re ever in Utah we should go fishing!
Super high quality content, good job!
Thank you !!
That was awsome --- do you guys have a particular setup of water you like ... meaning ..... tailouts ? Deeper runs ..... on swing ... on strip ....... weighted flies ......larger / smaller .... or all of the above - lol
I think Papa was there.
Congratulations. "Go make some babies." I like it.
That was probably a sea run cutthroat. They're beautiful little bullets with shimmers of different colors when they're fresh.
where did you get the rod holder
riversmith river quiver 4-banger
That’s all it takes is a couple hogs !!!
No need for a lock on your boat if you're coming to Canada.
Lol ! And where did you say you park your boat again.were not a country of saints lol
air bnb view looks like the copper river motel?
it was our home for the first night!, we ended up staying at the misty creek cabin the next four nights, highly recommend it!
@@reel_moments.outdoors thats cool i was able to recoginze the view. thanks for replying.
its where i like staying if i get a room in terrace
Figure that's near terracelol sort of. So many good steelhead rivers in that area .runs haven't been great last few years but still good 😌
Great video... but I can't stand the modern fishermen, "Let's go!" call of the social media fishermen. But that aside, the quality of the video was great, and it is nice to see good friends doing good things. 👍
FACTS
What rivers in order were these
"i cant stand seeing people get excited and happy" - grow up, its 2 words.
You must Learn techniques how to land a fish . You almost lost the fish close to your nose.
Real ones don’t use a net
