- Spend the morning hunting Westslope Cutthroat Trout with Bill Herzog and catch what possibly could be the Washington State record Cutthroat. Bill shares detailed knowledge of hot to target and catch the trout of a lifetime using his hand tied sculpin imitating jigs. Bill also land several incidental Dolly Varden (Bull Trout). If you want to learn how to catch more fish, watch this episode. Bill's jigs will be available to order on-line soon at www.anglerwest...
I grew up in Yakima and watched my dad and Wally Pease fish together often. Wally had a fishing show on KYVE in Yakima and my dad was the GM at the station. My dad is still alive but can't go fishing anymore and gave me all of his gear. There was about 100 brand new lures from back in the '80's in several boxes along with almost a dozen rods and reels that dad and Wally used. This video brings back great memories - THANKS!
Man that's super amazing to have grown up with such great influence!! I'm from Washington grew up west side, but lived in selah my junior yr in high school. Love the gorge!!
Fantastic fishing! Love watching Bill do what he does, he's got more experience then most people have in life years in one finger! He really is a true legend of the pnw!
General 'Zog has an Iron Maiden sticker, so he's obviously pretty awesome.
Maiden, Sabbath AND Judas Priest...

I didn't believe that scene inside his truck, because there wasn't loud rock music drowning out his voice. You call that a road trip Bill?
Ridiculous a state record are you kidding me?! What a tank of a cutthroat trout! Bill Herzog is the man, great content.
This is Little Naches, right?
Congrats Bill on being prepared when the "Big One" hit. Remember you from Sportco , and reading your books from Vashon Island.
Bull trout are a char. Before the dams they could make see runs where they could. And for you to be catching Dollies like that, that is a great sign for their recovery!
Cool video,beautiful landscape👏🎣
Hey Bill, I'd would have been shitting bricks if that would have been me, been following you for years, congratulations
Shortly after I get my new hip joint I plan on joining you on the east side of the ridge !
Bill seems like such a cool dude!
Mid October? Should I go deer hunting , duck hunting , grouse hunting bear hunting
I got a 5 lbs sea run cutty on the N.F Lewis followed by a 6 lbs rainbow all on the same day it was the craziest thing I have ever seen in 30 years of fishing that river
5lb?! Really. Yea right....
@@brianskinner5711 why would I lie I been fishing that river for 30 years.. I’ve been a guide for over 10 years.. I have no reason to bullshit anyone..
I believe it, caught a 21 inch sea run cutthroat while winter steelhead fishing that river last December. I thought it was a small steelhead at first until I saw those red markings under his chin.
@@transient2060 I thought that my cutty was a summer steelhead!! And my partner that got the rainbow thought he had on a small springer until we got eyes on!! Fishing the waterfall at the meat hole 😁
Wow that was huge!!!! Nice cut!!!!! On camera!😮
Thank you so much bill herzog
What rod and reel set up are you using? I want to set up the same rod and reel you are using.
Beautiful fish👏🎣
Love that river. Comes from full forest and flows into high desert.
Is he on the Yakima river?
@@tyvandall4357 close. One of its tributaries.
@@kcp7042 Naches
what type of rod/ reel setup are you using?
I live in Pasco, Wa not too far from that spot. Wish i knew exactly where it is at, id take my kiddos
It's the mouth of the Yakima river
The title said Easter Washington, which got me excited to watch a video on my side of the state. Yakima is pretty far west though. 😔
what river is this? looks like a must fly fish
You'd think a legend like Bill would be more vigilant about not littering, no matter how small those cut tag ends were. Please pick up your line Bill.
Do you ever keep a fish to eat? Wondering where in Eastern Washington you go to Salmon Fish?
You just have to check regulations and think about which fish are best to eat ethically and for food quality. At times, most of the Columbia and it's tribs have salmon. Around each dam is typically a starting point. Look at more of the AWTV episodes from the Columbia and they will get you started. Just search Colombia salmon.
What length and weight of a rod works best for that technique? As if I need another rod lol.
this old foool should be in the movies.A real drama queen
The beginning of the theme song sounds like Black Sabbath, far out.
Hey, just an FYI, its illegal to fully remove that bull trout from the water like you did. There are very specific regs for that due to their protection in the Yakima drainages. Gotta keep them in the water while removing the hook.
Where is this I would like to get on some big trout even if it’s just catch and realese
Hardcore sharpening hooks so much. 😁
Leave it to Bill! He ain't a fishin' legend for nuthin'!
What river is this? Is it floatable?
Bill with a biggin alert 🚨
I want some of your jigs Bill!!!
black sabbath n the fish of a F'n life time.
That was awesome
What a legend!
I've always loved fish in the naches
Beautiful cutty, but way too long out for the water for optimum fish survival. Why no net?
The way he handled that fish was even better than using a net… 0 damage done to the fish there.
what hook file is that?
Pretty sure last year i caught one that was bigger then that and i have the pics to prove it!
Let's see a pic!
Those cuts would be a blast on a fly rod
Bull trout and dolly varden are 2 different species.
General you better do a replica. Congrats .
Clinic!
that fish was no 7lbs but maybe 4 and half if that
What a hog. Nice job Bill
I'm not even a fisherman, but even I know that you shouldn't drag your fish around on the rocks if your gonna release them. Don't you have a damn net?! Wtf?
8 - 10lbs trout they stock at lake
I swear a wild river cutty or stealy just has so much more power and will to survive they really put up a heck of a battle. The Lakers I've caught just didn't compare lbs to lbs.
Beast of a trout
Looks like a sea run cutty too that’s sick
Nice video, but poor handling of fish!
I used to fish there, but I got tired of fishing in people's back yards.
Yeah I'm pretty sure they are trespassing to get to couple of these spots lol. I lived in Ellensburg so I wasn't to far
Onx has changed the game. Pretty easy to know these days. It's very common for people to post land that isn't theirs which is illegal.
@@doublelunger1978 I'm very familiar with onx and I also worked out by Naches for 2 years where this is by.. there's literally only a few public accessible places and they wernt at any of them.. 99 percent of that along the highway is private property
Police your tag ends!
Yeah Well I caught what was probably the biggest salmon in the Lewis River last night and released it and my buddy who I was with still thinks im lying about it becuase he couldn't hear me yelling at him to come help so there's that bill there's that
Last night? I believe the Lewis is closed for salmon fishing at night
Judas Priest!
They did swim away strong but that can be misleading. Dragging those fish into the shallows was needlessly hard on them. If you're going to let them go, please don't bang them up.
hahahahahahahahahahaha
The naches
Love this guy. However, dragging a fish on the bank, while wearing waders??? Didn’t see you touch the water. Love Bill but, you’re old school fish handling is why we have no fish.
Not saying he did it the best way but it’s also hard when your landing a fish that big by yourself. He could have done a lot worse and that fish is for sure still swimming today.
He did 0 damage to that fish, the way he handled him I would argue is even better than a net. In the water almost the whole time and let him go very quickly.
I'll remember that too, man! Thanks.
Stay out of the water ya fly fisherman
@@nickhislop7128 haha that's so true
Catches big fish then drags them on the bank. Go away Bill, Washington doesn’t need you fishing it with such poor etiquette.
hahahahahahahaha
