@Chiefz Also if you ever need/want a cameraman hit me up dude. It’s Dalco from the stream earlier. If you’re in GR that’s not a bad drive for me and would love to learn and film for you. If you’re down just DM me. Got waders and not afraid to get wet or cold
Steelhead are my FAVORITE fish by far to target! Sadly, they closed Steelhead for most of the year and just recently opened up. Where I'm at, the summer run is typically the main run and they have a smaller winter run that's pretty fun, if you like going out in those types of conditions. Stoked to see you on some fish, man! Keep livin' that #tuglife man!
@@Chiefz PNW! Coming to you from the Columbia River Gorge! Agreed, there's something about winter steelies that just can't be beat! Yeah, last year we had the one of the lowest returns in history, basically across all fronts; Springers, Steelhead and Fall Chinook. This year was an amazing recovery when compared to last year. Fingers crossed the numbers stay steady and the fisheries stay alive!
In regards to that setup, is the line from the bobber to the end hook longer than the water is deep? So it could be dragging or drifting? It just doesn’t seem like it would be that deep in that spot
I’d say it’s close to 7-9ft deep at the deepest and it rises up to about 3-4ft by the time the bobber gets back to you. That’s why I set the end of my shot about 4ft below bobber
Dude honestly I don’t even remember! I do remember it was super cheap and I got it my freshman year of college. It’s lasted every day since. I’m so ready to hit the slopes
Would you recommend cleats down there or can you get away without them and still be somewhat safe? I go down a watch sometimes but have been a little nervous to get in since I don’t have cleats and just moved here from FL, lol we don’t have much fast moving water there!
Absolutely get cleats it’s only getting more slippery everyday from here on out. Also be sure the water is at a safer flow than where it’s at right now
Is the Craig I think it is?! I’d stick with something that offers scent like a spawn sac or dime sized skein chunks. The more clear the water is = smaller the presentation just keep that rule of thumb in mind
both of them were pretty nice, the blue fins on the first one looked beautiful, learning more and more about steelhead, never fished for them idk if they’re up in new england area
Might happen we’ll see. If it’s been in the river over a week I usually don’t even bother. Don’t get me wrong a smoker makes most fish good but if I’m legit cooking it, meh
Excited to record more Fall Steelhead fishing videos!! Good luck out there guys sorry I haven't uploaded been dealing with some personal stuff.
Awesome fish dude
Take care of yourself and family we all understand and its not like we are going anywhere.
Appreciate you man, seriously. This is all for fun and I’m thankful for anybody who sticks around
We get it man. Keep it up and hope all is well. 🔥

Came for the cod content, stayed for the fishing, just caught my first steelhead last weekend at erie I am hooked now lol
I love the underwater footage of the release so clean!

great at sniping, even better at fishing

Great video man. It was good to meet you. That spot is tough to fish. Current is rough make sure you have a wading pole. Nice looking fish.
Early bird gets the fish!

@@JStocker808 that’s so cool you live out there. Wish you the best man! It’s a dream to make that trip happen

those underwater shots were dope, keep it up king

Another banger video homie
Can you bottom bounce with double bead setup?
People who chunk and duck do that but for steelhead I think it’s kinda slimy tbh there’s better options
@chiefz what are some better options for steelhead at the dam your at. I fish it
Is the Craig I think it is?! I’d stick with something that offers scent like a spawn sac or dime sized skein chunks. The more clear the water is = smaller the presentation just keep that rule of thumb in mind
Great respect for spawning fish brother👊🏼👍🏼! I see you got a proper CP setup! Right on man! First ones a TAAAANK!!!🔥🔥🔥
Just finished my setup with a new reel. Wait for this next video😎
both of them were pretty nice, the blue fins on the first one looked beautiful, learning more and more about steelhead, never fished for them idk if they’re up in new england area
Atta boy! You got into em! 🤙🏽
Looks so damn fun I need to get into that action. Keep up the great content, I need more center pin practice to get going.
The time is now! Get familiar it’s only gonna get better🔥
your my inspiration
Banger video!
some nice chromers..
🐐
lmaooo this outro was funny
Nice steelis bro and nice rod love mine frome mags have the same one rainshadow
U get a rod build done,? What is it?
MAGS Custom RX8 Rainshadow. All my gear is in the description if you’re ever wondering
Use felt bottom boots. They work amazing.
Heard that... just bought some cleats before I posted this tho. Down the road I’ll have a pair for sure
@@Chiefz I own felt bottoms. They are a game changer. Once you use em you can never go back.
Fishhhhhhh on baby
Nice video! I always want to fish there, but I don’t know where is that ( I’m not from Michigan)
downtown Grand Rapids
If you ever need someone to go with ya so you’re not fishing alone, I live maybe 10 mins from that spot! I’d be down to go anytime.
U in gr?
Nice Rob!
Ayyyy my man!!
Bonk!
Sweet video boss I would to check that out..
What river is this?? The St Joes or which?
Muskegon
Almighty Craig most definitely not the muskegon 😭 that’s the Grand River here in GR
Your not supposed to expose the fish hole like that😤
@@RiverFeverFishing haha Everyone knows about that spot from all over michigan.
Are pple fishing from the walls?
seen a few but not many
@@Chiefz hope to meet u there got try my soft beads. I make them .
Can't believe salmon season is already ending. You should try some hunting. But nice video.
Thanks man! Such a weird year for salmon too I feel like I barely fished them. Never been a big hunter but hey you never know
Now you need a colville reel for that rod
new reel coming very soon
try some school bus yellow been slaying em 10m
Nice video bro we have to go fishing and make a video
When you going to cook one for us 😳 ???
Too pretty to kill can’t do it lol, maybe another fish species down the road
@@Chiefz uggh i wanna see your cooking
@@Chiefz I agree. Although, they do taste amazing..
Might happen we’ll see. If it’s been in the river over a week I usually don’t even bother. Don’t get me wrong a smoker makes most fish good but if I’m legit cooking it, meh
That's today morning
