- In this week's video, we take a float down an Oregon coastal river with a true legend, Buzz Ramsey. And, while the fishing was slow, we learned a TON and had some fantastic conversations about Buzz's past, the present, and what the future of salmon and steelhead fishing in the Pacific Northwest COULD be. It's just a small sample of the HOURS of conversations we had with Buzz, and there'll be even more clips coming up in the future, so make sure to be on the lookout for those!
A huge THANK YOU to Buzz for his hospitality, his generosity, and his dedication to making fishing more approachable, understandable and sustainable for countless generations to come. The world would be a significantly better place if there were just a handful more people in it like Buzz. Thank You, Buzz!!

What an important and interesting convo. Thanks for this!
Thank you! Appreciate your time in watching!
What a great show. I think you captured the beauty and relaxing time one gets when fishing. Plus just talking about anything and everything. I just love the quality and beauty you show of the area you are fishing.
Matt says, "Thanks, Larry!" 😄
Thanks so much for this one. I could listen to Buzz go on for hours. And you Ash. The two of you jawin about fishing for these fish we love, what a treat.
Glad you enjoyed it
Ive always wanted to be a fly on the wall with buzz and another guide or two.... absolutely love this conversation!
Buzz is a treasure! Great episode ash!
Agreed! Thank you!
Thanks Buzz. I never knew about you until my cousin was so nice to send me a signature series Berkley 9.5 rod in the mail. I still have it. ✌
That was a very informative and well produced video. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video Ash
Thanks, Tim!
great watch
Thank you for taking the time to check it out!
Thank you Ashley for the great video with Buzz ! He is such a kind man with a big heart and always has that smile and giggle !!! Truly a Legend !!!
It was an amazing day!
How am I not seeing these? I am subscribed. I better smash that bell. Few minutes in and I am super excited. Mag lip talk with this man makes my heart skip.
Buzz is the Mag Lip MASTER!
A bad day fishing is better than a good day working... not that you had a bad day that was a really cool discussion while I was tying trout flies. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed! What kind of flies are you tying?
@@BadAshOutdoors Filling in the gaps in my still water boxes. It’s Callibaetis day!
I remember Buzz in the magazines when I was a kid in the 70’s. What an awesome guy. Ash I’m so happy for you and your new show!! Way to go.
Thank you !
Wow, to hang out with a fishing legend. Some day that will be you. 👍. I lot of great information. Excellent video.
Thank you so much!
This is a great video. This is information people need to hear.
Agreed!
Why does this not have more views! One of my greatest concerns is that my grandchildren will not be able to enjoy the fisheries that played such an important role in my childhood simply because they will not exist anymore. Rome wasn't built in a day but it is certainly time to change the tides from extinction to recovery when it comes to the fisheries that make up our culture and identity as fishermen here in the northwest.
Please share the video where ever you can!
20:38 Ash is snagged up and pretends to keep fishing haha!!
😂😂😂😂
Really grew up with this guy , always a smile and so positive! Awesome you got to fish with him and share your thoughts and passions .Love the video 👍👍🐟
I am so glad you loved it!
Wow. Really awesome video. Best yet in my opinion! Keep it up!! Enjoy them all!
Oly is such a good looking dog!
Thank you SO much!
@@BadAshOutdoors Love Oly, Matt is pretty cool as well.
@FishnBrew DDD I'm a fan....😁
Great stuff!!! Buzz is one of my heroes 🇺🇸🎣🏹🦌
People say "Don't meet your heroes" - Buzz is definitely the exception! He was so gracious and just fun to be around!
Such a cool video Ash. I always enjoy listening to Buzz. I usually learn something from him. I loved the story of you fishing where generations of your family have fished. Keep up with the cool videos. I'd sure love to take a guided trip with you, but I'm sure your booked up for days.
Than k you Scott!
I know Buzz pretty well because I started my guiding in 1976 and spent allot of time at Buzz's Wilson R cabin and fishing with Buzz.
I am now back in Oregon from a very long period living in Alaska to Romania.
I am getting ready to restart up work on Washington SW rivers and rivers from Longview to the west will be the Elochomen R - Grays R - Naselle R .
Also, I am planning a restart on my own fishing lures called Lure Benson with my last name is Benson.
Lure Benson, I would be proud to purchase your product! That's so great!
@@BadAshOutdoors By the way I have technical info on Lure Jenson lures give to me by Buzz I could give to you.
You don't see some much of Lure Jenson lures these days, but I found the Knowledge very helpful used with other brands of lures when the lure won't fish well.
Boy, it must be nice having your own line of signature rods with your name on them! Great vid, too!
Yeah, no kidding.
Wow! You fished with an absolute legend!!!
Haha, yes indeed!
Thanks to you and Buzz for getting the word out. Fisher people need to join forces and pull together to turn things around.
Agreed!
Enjoyed the video listening too how the rivers change from then to now . Not to often you can fish with someone like that. Looking forward to seeing your next video 👍
Isnt that the truth! It was an awesome conversation
Wow. Legend.
Yeah, agreed!
Buzz is the legend! My dad ran into him on the Trask in the mid 70s. Apparently no one was catching steelhead until Buzz showed up and landed two within a half hour while a journalist from the Oregonian was interviewing him for a story.
Sounds about right!
Thanks for this video. It was really cool to hear ideas and stories from both of you. Buzz is the first famous fisherman I ever knew about. A true legend and wise man
Incredibly wise and incredibly kind.
This was great!
Thanks, I am glad you thought so!
Im just jumpin in the river I guess.
Nice video always love to hear buzz talk about fishing how great it was to have you and him together but you do it alone we need every fisherman to spread the word get involved call the lawmakers call the governor do not let your voice be silent anymore
100% We need to educate and inform anyone and everyone involved in making decisions about fishing!
Thats my hero, unfortunately due to to many tbi's hard for me to fish i can still go but have to b a fair weather fisherman,and can only go certain places,love this channel and buzz is my hero would love to fish next to both u guys and the crew of addicted just drift fishing on a bank,miss fishing
Thats so kind of you. Don't give up on it! Fishing is such a wonderful way to feel alive and keep hope.
This was really inspirational to watch. It was wonderful to hear wisdom from the mind and soul of one of the great anglers who has no doubt helped shape the fishing industry and the world of fisheries in the pacific northwest. Thank you for sharing this conversation with us Ashley. Looking forward to more of your show, and hearing more conversations like this in the future! Its exciting and inspiring to see a new perspective and voice for sport fishermen and women out there.
Wow, thank you! I am so happy you found it inspirational. Glad to share this, I am looking forward to doing more work with Buzz and others
Bad Ash, Should try and persuade and get a brood Stock Program started in all the rivers in the State of Washington and Oregon with all the guides services and with the Government Fisheries.
No doubt
Dang! Ash.... the buzz!!! What a great day!
The Buzz hahaha!
Badass Ash. Have a question for you? When fishing plugs with buzzy. Does he run a swivel on his bumper line. Or does he run a swivel just above the snap 2 ft 3 ft up? Or does he run no swivels just a snap? Thanks so much.,.
I didn't see any swivels - tied directly to the snap, and looked like a uni knot from braid to mono, but didnt inspect it too closely.
@@BadAshOutdoors 😊 thanks.
Love that emerald green water!
Yes, me too. I thought it was the best!
Are you enjoying fishing oregon? Great times 👍😎
I am! I am curious about fishing further south too.
Great talk. What River are you on? I live with a view of the Sandy. Ready to get a driftboat
Thanks for watching! We were in the coastal area near Tillamook
Blow the dams. Let the humans evolve, don't force the fish to work harder.
For sure!
Great video and interview Ash 🙌
Thank you!
I feel you should step up this topic w more interviews with other important figures of the industry such as Clancy holt another huge advocate to save the fish and the small town impact of the loss of the fisheries. Good work Ashley keep up the fight
That’s a great idea! Thank you so much Chris
Didn't you fish with Bill Herzog once? General Zog, the guy who has caught more than 160 steelhead over 20 lbs with a B C Steel spoon.
I’ve had more than one trip with Bill. That fart knocker has to deal with me for life.
Politics is Ruining our fisheries here on Lake Michigan when it comes to chinook/king salmon, Their excuse for not restocking or stocking lower numbers it’s because there’s no bait or alewives which is bull. 😡
And a lot of hatcheries are not stocking German browns anymore and are stocking Seeforellen browns.
Along with the steelhead, they are getting smaller in size.
So since I started fishing for salmon and steelhead here on the Saint Joe River in Southwest lower Michigan A lot of things have changed and for the most part it hasn’t been for the better.
But don’t get me completely wrong there are plenty of steel head along with the lake trout and that’s because of the treaties with the Native Americans on the lake trout.
But our summer run steelhead Numbers are dwindling along with their size and the spring run steelhead are kind of holding their own, but for the most part Michigan hatcheries and Wisconsin hatcheries have changed and it doesn’t seem for the better and then they start saying there’s no money, and that really burns me because of Michigan is surrounded by the great lakes and thousands upon thousands of people use the fishery and they have raise the cost of licenses significantly, so basically it’s just money miss management other politicians dipping into the fund but money should never be an excuse especially in the state.
But thanks for the show Bus Ramsey is a legend along with you.
Politics is such a tricky issue around fisheries. It always seems to get tied to other issues and then short changed as well as not recoginzed for the economic driver that it is, especially in the PNW and Great Lakes!
Did you ever pick up the floats I sent?🤔
I got a message from the Quinault Tribal office- that’s where you sent them! They have them there for me the next time I am in town.
@@BadAshOutdoors Groovy. They are bad ass. I get them from N.Y. Danny Colville. That's my dude, and he has Super cool stuff. hope your season is working out for you. Stay Fishy!🎣🎣🎣🎣🤙👍
How come you get to fish with legends?
For this particular trip, we fished to discuss our shared passion for supporting stronger fisheries.
I’ve done a lot of research on this issue of dams on the Columbia. Bottom line... Those dams were placed on Native American lands. Sacred land. Land literally taken away from them. Also, our wild Salmon would finally return.
Agreed. Give the land back!
