  • Trevor and Ben had a chance to test out OPST's new Commando Heads on some very remote water while searching for steelhead. They found that the versatility of these lines allowed them to change tactics when conditions got too dry for traditional swing fishing. With floating and sinking tips, nymphing and swinging, they caught steelhead, trout, dolley varden, and even flounder, all using Pure Skagit Commando Heads. Check out these lines at www.opskagit.co....

    It's Hilarious (good funny), when you call the Resident Rainbow trout Residential-Rainbow we love to fish for them, but don't quite want to live in them yet!😃🤠🥺 Peace ✌️

    At what point does fishing for steelhead become not okay? where i live, there are tons of these small creeks with tons of steelhead in them, but our community refrains from fishing them because we believe they are spawning throughout the creeks length as they enter from the ocean. Alot of this creek looks like it could be spawn habitat, but what do i know.

    • @OPSkagit

      You bring up a good point. But, if this had been a spawning situation they would have refrained. Their ethics will always override their desire to fish.

    Couple questions... For the tighter spots are you using straight mono off the shooting head here? Is there any weight besides the fly? I don't think I'm seeing any tip. Also, are you swinging beads here? If so, have you sound that effective? Thanks for all you do, love OPST!

    @ michaelsw0rd:Just because the shallow river, looks good to us as spawning ground, it doesn't mean however, that every meter of it is suitable Redd for Steelhead!! But such rivers Can become favorite places for for outlaws to target for Snagging ☹️

    What....no directions on how to get there???

    • @OPSkagit
      @OPSkagit  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      hahaha I don't think we could understand what the directions looked like in lat and long!

  • @allthepizzainmybelly1302

    What length and wt rod are you using mainly? Line gr?

    • @bpaull08
      @bpaull08 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      The best rod for the steelhead fishery is a 10 foot 7 or 8 weight.

    • @allthepizzainmybelly1302
      @allthepizzainmybelly1302 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I wondering specifically for the singlehand micro skagit I am assuming he is using. Thanks though.

    • @bpaull08
      @bpaull08 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh. We didn't have any true micros with us on this trip unfortunately (cause we're dumb). That single hander was a 9'6" 6 weight. I would have liked to have a 3 or 4 weight from 7'6" to 10 feet, with 150-175 grain Commandos. We did have them the second year we were there, but wouldn't you know it we didn't see any trout that year at all.

    • @bpaull08
      @bpaull08 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      And we had a 250 grain Commando on that 6 weight

      +Benjamin Paull Awesome, thanx. Just started throwing a 250 on a 6wt Sage here in Utah for big browns. Need some serious casting lessons, but otherwise I don't know if I'll ever go back.
