  • In this video I break out all the steelhead float fishing tips for beginners. I attempt to touch on every aspect of steelhead float fishing including steelhead float fishing tactics, steelhead float fishing rigs, float fishing tips and tricks, split shot patterns for float fishing and more. When it comes to steelhead rigs for river fishing It's near impossible to beat a steelhead float fishing rig. Steelhead float fishing setups can vary a lot based on fishing conditions and anglers preferences and many new fisherman are overwhelmed with shot patterns for float fishing steelhead, Float Fishing Leader Setups, and how to adjust to the water you are fishing. Like I said I had a bunch of requests lately asking me to show my steelhead float fishing rig. I am always experimenting with steelhead Float Fishing Rigs & Set Ups and shot patterns.
    For me learning how to float fish for steelhead was a matter of learning how to rig for steelhead drift fishing and spending hours and months and even years to get that first legit bobber down on a steelhead and even then I lost the first 3 or 4 steelhead I hooked into under a float. it took me a while to build enough confidence with split shot patterns for float fishing and what baits to use and when or why to pick the right color bead or jig. I first learned how to fish a spawn bag and never caught a thing on beads until I built the confidence to work the water with a bead knowing that it will produce fish. It wasn't even a matter of knowing how to fish beads rather confidence in the bead color and size and the presentation needed. Now I know how to fish beads for steelhead but even better I know why to fish beads for steelhead and that allows me to fish with confidence.
    I am new to Michigan steelhead fishing and have only been steelhead fishing Michigan or anywhere for a few years but Michigan steelhead have sucked me in and after a few years with little to no success fishing for steelhead I am beginning to get the hang of float fishing, centerpin fishing bait choices and seasonality of the steelhead run. There is no doubt in my mind that float fishing for steelhead is the way to go

    Great info I have a lot to learn fishing up there I have not fished for Steel Heads before so when I move that way here soon I'll have to come back to this video and watch it again to set it up, Thanks for the info.

      My pleasure :) it’s definitely a bit different than other techniques and takes some time to get used to. But float fishing for Steelhead is extremely effective.

    Man this video is going to help so many people especially since the title made it easy to find as a beginner trying to look for advice. I just got into trout fishing this year and I’ve spent this whole winter figuring out everything for the first time. It’s definitely a very unforgiving time of year to learn how to trout fish on the Great Lakes but I’ve had a lot of fun speaking with people in the fishing community and going out to test and try things on my own. Even though I haven’t caught a trout yet I’m very eager to make more trips to the trout filled parts of the state in the warmer months this year.

      My pleasure it’s a process to learn it all but as you experiment and have success keep mental notes on what works and remember the little things you will have it. I like the bulk rig for the grand most of the time. Thanks for watching!
