Well done! I’ve fished steelhead my entire life. You described it well; drive from hole to hole, try your chosen technique over and over until……….BINGO, Fish on. I’ve got so many stories and that’s what it’s about: the stories! Thanks for an entertaining show!
I’ve recently got into salmon & steelhead fishing because of my son. He loves salmon. Being a dad on a budget & can’t afford those guiding services is hard but after watching your video, better late then never right, I’m gonna try this. I have my own fishing gear and waders. If you ever do a fishing video like this please let me know and I would gladly offer my catering services for your time. You’ve gained a subscriber!
You’re truly an artist. Beautiful. You’re a smart, young man, in that you by quality fishing equipment, unlike myself who looked for the cheapest. keep up the good work.
Just came across your video... Dig it 😎. Just getting back to some fishing 🎣 just about all healed up from my cancer surgery... I've been catching trout already but I think I'll be switching to salmon and steelhead soon. Still a little achy but I'll muscle through it.... LoL 🤣😎
Thanks for the comment! You must have been going through a lot, glad to hear you are getting back to some fishing. The salmon fishing on the Columbia has been good lately if you can get up near Astoria, otherwise winter steelhead will start up here in a few months.
Another Everett in the building, I spell mine with a e on the end. Everette DeVan, Erik B and Erik Ortiz the camara man is my little brotha welcome to the channel Mr. Munoz. Eric B, you should get Everett and Everette fishing one these days this year. Would be hilarious. Stay grinding my friend!
I admire how, at 19:50, after what I presume was a day of total defeat, your concentration and anticipation was the same as it probably what it was on your first cast of the day.
Eric, moved to Hillsboro 2 years ago from WA. I’m 63 & still trying to figure out the Wilson. What an absolutely gorgeous river system. Recognized several spots I’ve I’ve either pinned or fished…….zero fish so far. I’m curious about the hole at part 2:35-4:00. Can I ask what mile post this is? Thank you. Hope to meet you on the river & best of luck this season.
I fished the Wilson, Clackamas, Nehalem and Rogue rivers and Tillamook bay in the late 70s. Good times. My PB was a 12 lb Steelhead on 8 pound test using bobber and worm.
Came across your video researching places to fish near Rockaway beach. Never been to Oregon I am a fly fisherman from Utah traveling there with my family for a summer vacation mid July could you possibly direct me what rivers to try? Maybe some beach fishing for whatever bites take a lot of the guesswork and wasted limited time driving to non productive places. . I know it’s fishing not catching but some guidance would really be appreciated
shoot it is mid July now, hope you haven't already headed home from your trip. I don't know much about beach fishing honestly, and I have never fished in that area ... I know in Astoria they are starting to catch salmon on the Columbia but I'd highly recommend a guide. Hope that helps
arcterex jacket$.400. base simms waders$200.base simms boots $130. base waterproof bag$100. base costa glasses $100. base rod and reel $100. base fishing line $20. base tackle $20 (a days worth). license and tag$ 80. fuel at least $20. dont forget your wading belt, scissors, go pro, fly shop ball cap, net or bandanna, tackle box ,warm socks, base layer. Make sure you have a drivers license, registration and insurance. So its a cheap trip if you are a dentist, or a lawyer, or a trust fund boy. otherwise, steelheading is a lifestyle, not a cheap trip.
@mojoe2690 how much did your boat cost dude? What are you a trust fund boy? You put your boat right where shore fishermen are fishing and threaten to call the cops on someone fishing near you. You sound like a California transplant using Oregon as a park for rich people.
I moved from Oregon to Ohio about 8 years ago and just moved back to Oregon. OMG the steelhead fishing in Ohio blows Oregon away. I was shocked. Its all pretty much bank fishing through the parks. I don't know anyone that floats the river nor had I ever seen a boat except for at the mouth of Lake Erie, but it was not uncommon to catch several fish and I've been down there fishing and watched guys catch 10 to 15 fish a day every time I went down there. It was amazing.
That is because the Midwest does not have true steelhead, the definition of a steelhead is a fish that resides in salt or brackish water for a 2 or 4 year life span. Last time I checked, there isn’t and ocean in Michigan, and no.. the Great Lakes aren’t oceans. They are lake run rainbow trout - Great Lakes trout do not have the same genetic makeup that actual steelhead carry. They are not Anadromous, therefore they are simply a stocked, rainbow trout. Also, you should educate yourself on the reason why Pacific Northwest steelhead fishing is getting extremely difficult. If you liked catching so many fish, you should go back to Ohio and beat up on some stocked rainbows
@@benreece1385 except that the steelhead of the great lakes originally came from the PNW. They are related. They just don't have an ocean but the species originally came from a hatchery on the West Coast. Actually I think one was in Washington and one from California I believe.
@@vansicklejerry this unfortunately is not true. None of the steelhead in the Great Lakes bare the same genetics as a true ocean run steelhead. You see all those rainbows with no fins swimming around the tributaries? That’s from sitting in a concrete pin
@@vansicklejerry You are correct and some of the steelhead stock now in the great lakes are Skamania steelhead stock. That knuckle head Ben Reese is another TH-cam groupie knowing nothing at all but thinks of knowing everything !

kind words, thanks much!
I like the perspective. Keep it up brother.
Such an amazing place~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The broodstocking in Oregon is unmatched at providing strong runs of hatchery and wild steelhead. Washington state is complete failure.

Love the Wilson.

Great video!!
Glad you enjoyed it

LMAO, on a worm? 😂 Good job!!
@@Foresterarboristpink worms are a common method for catching steelhead.
What’s the saying “waters low fish low, waters high fish high!”

I've always wondered if fish are suspicious of the red and white Bobbers. Shouldn't they be colored light blue or greyish white like the sky?
🔥🔥🔥
What river and time of year is this
14:48 I get that I steelhead fish a lot in Oregon it’s HARD
I've gotten skunked every guided trip i've taken.
Wer is this spot at?

Sure it’d be an expensive impulse purchase for a lot of people but it’s completely doable if youre just a normal person who saves up for a bit.

What gear are you using? I'm on a budget and I only have an 8 foot pole. Is that ok
Bobber and jigs/ mad river plastic worms /beads all work 8’ rod will do just fine
What river is this?
Wilson
8:00 not a small cost under biden 😂😂😂
Fishing is DIY??? Am I missing something 😂😂😂
