Epic! I felt this video. It took me two seasons to catch my first steelie.. seeing the float finally drop, and feeling those first head shakes instead of a snag on the other end- pure enjoyment! Pure excitement. It’s something I wish everyone experienced 😂. Great video brother, loved this.
Really enjoyed the video! This is my first winter targeting steelhead. I watched every steelhead fishing video I could find, and have now put in 60 hours at a few local rivers (SW WA). I’ve hooked into 5, and landed 3 so far. These are a blast to catch!
5/8 oz. hammered spoon in the 70's gave way to side planners & plugs of the 80's, to bobbers & side drifting of the 90's. Caught steelhead throughout, but sold my sled in the 2000's when the rivers went dry due to netting, dams & poor management. I miss those freezing winter mornings in December hooking up hard fought fish, &since moved to salt. Great video my man---congrats!!!
good job! i was worried i was about to watch you take hundreds of casts from the same spot. good job making sure to fish a run out and then move on. subbed up.
great video man love that u showed the grind ive been doing a series for the last two years of videos showing my bad days just grinding it out. really gotta put that effort in but when it pays off its sooo soo sweet
@@KeepCastingNW I have such a addiction for steelhead now i think about winter steelhead season all year I'm gonna try for some summer run steelhead this year as well it's been over 10 years since I fished for them but I have a nearby river with a good summer run we are having a pretty good return year in oregon but due to life getting in the way i havent got to go nearly as much as id hope for
Good video. When you slid into that spot, I had a feeling you would hookup. Fishing those fast shoots can produce, but the tailout you fished at the end is a much better place to target fish. The best thing you did was not give up! Well done
Yo! I'm by no means an expert or even experienced, but I caught my fish floating an 1/8oz jig with a pink worm. The best advice I got was to keep moving. It's cliche, but covering the water efficiently and not being too precious is important. Finding a willing fish is the most difficult part. Thanks for watching!
The way I approached it was to try to explore new areas each visit, pay attention to what successful anglers are doing when you are able to (presentations, depth, what type of water, etc), fish your top 2 or 3 presentations through the run, and then move on. Covering lots of water to find willing fish is a must!
Got my hands on one recently, I’m looking forward to learning 🫡

Good stuff, I am willing to bet you are going to get some heat from people saying you're blowing up spots... Actually you've shown spots I haven't seen yet which means you did put boots on the ground on that river system to get your fish. Given how little audience your channel has I am not too concerned at this point, I certainly hope this channel ain't going to turn into the typical sponsorship / selling crap madness of today's social media. Keep up the good work and don't prostitute yourself for a bunch of free hooks in exchange of advertising!
Hey man, understand you’re new to this but if you look on other peoples channels, no TH-camrs post systems struggling with returns. It has a bigger negative effect than you realize at your point in the hobby. Only saying this because it’s a great video and I bet you’ll get a ton of views if you keep it up - tight lines
Not sure what you're referring to, none of the clips in this video are from rivers that aren't regularly featured on other local channels. Also I haven't named or indicated any other spots than the vedder in this. Don't snitch on your own spots! DM me or email or something if you want to talk further
Youve got grit my friend! Makes those steelhead much more rewarding. Keep fishing buddy!
Yo thanks 🙏 much appreciated!

Thank you so much my man 🙌 I’m so glad it resonated with you. It felt like such an achievement 🥲

Crazy editing! You've been putting in work. I keep seeing you pop up on my tiktok, that led me here. Congrats!
Thank you!!! I’m stoked you found your way over 🙏 I really appreciate it. Tight lines!

Thank you so much for your insightful comment, Lynda! I really appreciate the kind words. Cheers and tight ligns!
I loved the editing on this video and truly enjoyed it! keep up the good work
Thank you so much!! Big fan of your products, your beads brought me a lot of coho and chinook last fall!
Wonderful man, you motivated me! I've never caught one?
You’ll get one!
Music , sounds levels and editing is top notch! Wow
Thanks bro I appreciate it!
I am 30 hours into chasing my first steelhead. I literally cannot wait! Great vid!
Thanks for checking it out! When your float goes down it'll all be worth it
good job! i was worried i was about to watch you take hundreds of casts from the same spot. good job making sure to fish a run out and then move on. subbed up.

It’s so true man, the hard work makes the reward so sweet. I’ll check out your vids!

Nice, summer runs are pretty rare in my area so it’s winters for me!
@@KeepCastingNW I have 3 systems in my area for winters but only 1 river for summers
Solid video. Congrats on the steelie dude
Hey, thanks I really appreciate it!
Congrats! Just starting my steelhead journey.
Thank you and good luck! Let me know how it goes

That's a lot of work. Good to see the reward
🙏🙏 thanks bro it was an effort lol
Outstanding Video!
Thank you Steve, I appreciate it!
love the grind!!!
🙏🙏🙏
Woah didn’t know there were bull trout in that system, super cool! Also the Penn pursuit/trophy XL combo is the best bang for you buck!
I didn’t either lol! I was surprised for sure. And hellll ya it’s a good setup for the budget range 🎣
That's a rare catch for that system, especially that high. Probably more likely to get a steel than bull trout around there
Dope video. Subbed. Stoked to find a fishing video with my style of music. Where can I get these tunes? Tia 🤝
Thanks, Tia! The music is made by my friend Nate Konyi, he may have some stuff online still under the name "Akanak"
Good going, you're more patient than me.
That editing took some dedication with the cast count!!!
Lol yes it did!
😂how do you not wear warmer clothes?! lol great video man
Thanks lol, I’m a big dude and run hot 😂
Any tips or advice on what to use or do when fishing for steelhead as a newbie?

@@KeepCastingNW thank you, hoping you catch another steelhead this season and bring us along 👍🏻
Bro sick vid, all these haters mad they can’t catch a Steelhead. Keep grinding. Subbed
🥂
Gonna oh got my first steel head this year there and I got another one two days later ....took me a long time your lucky
Nice work man, I’ve still only caught the one fish 🫠 but that’s what makes em special
Good job, greatvideo and thanks for supporting us vedder steelhead virgins 😂😂
Lol thank you for watching and the kind words 🙌 it’ll happen when the times right 😂
@KeepCastingNW - nothing beats the leg work but any piece of advice that you might have learnt along the way would be appreciated

🔥🔥🔥
Yo man! Thanks for watching 💪
What river is it it looks super beautiful and fishy
90% of it is the Vedder/Chilliwack river with a couple of other rivers mixed in 📍
Oh thank you super pretty when ever I ask people on TH-cam they just say no btw keep casting
mine only took 10 casts... its such a unpredictable fishery
Wow that’s awesome hahaha 🙌
I don't bother with steel. Took me three season to catch coho. And even at that I fish 35 to 40. Hrs now for each fish. Imo. Not worth the pain.
Go for them, once you figure them out it becomes one every few days minimum and eventually you’ll have those days of 4-6 steelhead in a day
In my opinion your leaders way too short should be about 18 inches
I usually fish them between 18-24 inches depending on clarity, may have been a little short at times!
Does not look like the C/V river.
Hey Dennis, the majority is on the C/V with a couple other spots tossed in
Get on the fly rod.
Got my hands on one recently, I’m looking forward to learning 🫡

Was happy for you till i saw all the spots you blogged. Such a shame.
🤦♂️😆
Next time keep the fish in the water.
It's clipped and he bonked it bro💀 its fine
@@Loganthompson2112 LOL "swam off strong"
🤡 comment
@@dansin2017 you get it.
Nice job ruining all the upper river spots
Removed your other comment where you start naming spots
Thanks a lot for mentioning which section of river it is that will save up a bunch of driving and searching around the whole system :)
