    I've been a stealhead/salmon
    bum since 1980 , went the whole route , small creeks to big rivers to ocean
    used everything from drifting eggs to fly fishing my own flies , trolling , bobbers , all of it , everything ... moved to Alaska and bought a boat and chartered for 5 years
    Back in the pacific northwest now ... simple catches more fish than a guy deserves
    you are fishing high quality gear and using alotta finese
    you catch plenty of fish
    Your more expert than 80% of the guys out there fishing
    quite apoligizing , I'd fish with you ... Good vid

  • @karlkunej9323
    @karlkunej9323 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    A quick tip, if you find yourself getting a lot of line twist add another micro swivel above your float! really helps but it does drag in the water so its a personal preference but i don't fish without it since i was shown! Keep up the awesome videos!!

  • @matthewfliegel7057

    I don't know if you already have a video on this but would love a how to video on how to set up gear for fishing steelhead, brown trout, and salmon, as well as the best times of the season to catch them in Michigan. Oh and also the best gear to handle each type of fish and its surrounding (small river, smaller rod, or etc) Thanks so much

    Great river, I wish one day I have a chance to fish in this type of rivers with my unique style of fishing which we use to do in our place. I use to fish with a rod of 20 feet, it would be great in this type of river. Great catches though man...

    BIG RIVERS like how they have it in B.C. - 13 to 15', small creeks and small rivers like how we have it here in southern East Ontario - 11 to 12ft rods...... also the pin diamater helps as well 5" for big rivers, 4 to 4.5" for small rivers for faster retrieve

  • @possmasonify
    @possmasonify 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I fish the coquet in Northumberland England. We have a decent run of seatrout but it's hitty missy as it's a backend river and if the rains don't come in time the fishing is very poor. The seatrout over here are obviously Brown trout and some spawn and return to sea and come back the next year much larger. Do the steelheads do the same? Ps great vids.

    • @FishFray
      @FishFray  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Steelhead behave a lot like that, based on what you described.

  • @nicklarson7746

  • @brandonh3888
    @brandonh3888 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Awesome video! Are you running your leader a little longer then the actual depth on that dropper bead?

    • @FishFray
      @FishFray  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes I run at or slightly below the actual depth when fishing with acrylic beads because the current keeps them off the bottom

  • @Rhuynh210

    @christianeshelman8195 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Sooo much fun! Your videos got me interested, so I found time to hit up a couple rivers along the lake and land a couple chromes myself for the first time. I was just using my 7’ spinner. Definitely see the value in the centerline and extra length. Perfect intro man, keep it up! When do you usually see them move back to the lake? I’d like to get back up again.

  • @jakethegreeneyedsnake1497
    @jakethegreeneyedsnake1497 5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Keep away from that re-usable shot. The “fins” create line twist in the current. Bloodrun round shot is the way to go. Also run your heavy shot directly under the float. Then taper down with smaller shot to match float size.
    Nice video!

    • @FishFray

    Nice video as always, keep up the great editing! I initially questioned whether it was necessary to include such a long speech about your views on planned parenthood, but you made some really cohesive points about the degradative moral effects being offset by the reduction in social pressures caused by the reduced birth rate. I liked the part where the bobber downed!
