Steelhead fishing in Oregon

Steelhead fishing last week of February was an incredible week. Meeting new people and finding out different methods of fishing for steelhead. I met a young man name Brandan who impressed me with his knowledge of fishing in general. He hooked on to a brood stock steelhead approximately 18 lbs. I helped get it unto the bank but fish played possum to get away in a flash.
Equipment:
Rod and reel - Fenwick HMX 10'-6' med mod fast 8 -15lbs, paired with Daiwa Fuego 3000c
Rod and reel - Okuma Celilo 9'-6" med - light 6 -12lbs, paired with Shimano Sahara 3000

That was hilarious

[@BackFishing]

I get a kick of the thumb nail. LOL

[@davidwilson7689]

Yeah my buddy had a mustard hook snap in a fishes mouth after bending it, he bent it back because it got snagged previously on a rock

[@Shane.sBeard]

What weakens the hook the most when you bend them is if the pliers put a nick or scratch into the metal. 😊

[@BackFishing]

Those mustad hooks are strong but also rigid. I think your right to a certain degree it does weaken it. 💯

[@BackFishing]

@@Shane.sBeard Your probably spot on. Thanks for the comment. 🤙🏽🤙🏽

That’s a biggen! Nice video

[@BackFishing]

That was a good brood stock. Keep up with your content too. I like the risk factor in those hikes. 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@asianseaanimals]

[@BackFishing]

Thanks for watching!!

[@Pnwfishin12]

Nice catch!! Been trying for them but can’t even get a bite

[@BackFishing]

Just gotta put the time in. When I post usually, I've already put a good number of hours fishing. GL

[@darrelljohnson4658]

What river

[@gsin98]

Pnw run I gotta try sometime in my lifetime Great Lakes here in Ohio is decent too! Same bite on jigs!

[@BackFishing]

GL this season. Thanks for the comment. 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@hedoesthingspdx]

Pretty sure that was the same fish that knocked you into the river, Hale' !!!
Amazing.

[@BackFishing]

LOL...it's surprising that it stayed in the same spot for 4 days instead of going upriver. Now we know about steelhead behavior. If that was the same fish. 🤙🏽

[@tombee4536]

Zzzzzzzz

[@thasrey5001]

The second one look the same fish and what a great video pu 😊

[@BackFishing]

Thank you. What a coincidence that steelhead would stick around. Naturally, we all think they just bolt upriver.

[@rickylee6129]

Good Video 😊. I wish I was there. Tight Lines 🎣.
Stay Safe 💕 💞 🙏 🙏

[@BackFishing]

For sure. Someone said, I belong to the polar bear club for swimming in the river. LOL

[@pnw_element9822]

What river is this hale

[@BackFishing]

Nottelem R.

[@dc2san]

Coastal?

[@BackFishing]

Closest hatchery river from PDX without spot burning. Thanks

[@dicktaug4773]

They are both about the same distance, depending on where you start!

[@dicktaug4773]

I've said it before.......bring a net!

[@BackFishing]

LOL...all good in the fishing hood. Thanks for the comment.

[@toddnicholas8945]
