I'm 67, been fishing in a place in the bay for 40 years, last year when I was there some guy didn't like I was there, it's the first time I've seen him there, that's the way it is now a days, thanks nice fish!
It's really upsetting the amount of gatekeepers that the fishing community is seeing as of recent. A whole lot less inviting, helping eachother, teaching eachother, and ultimately enjoying, and a whole lot more protective and confrontational attitude. When I first started watching fishing on TH-cam, a lot of the community was about tutorials, gear, education on fisheries, general areas and types of spots, reviews of said areas for content, etc. But i feel a large portion of the community just partakes in a lot of clout fishing, "put in your time", and "this is my spot you don't belong here". I guess that includes angry locals too. But Adam thank you for taking the time to educate us and take us on your journeys instead of just flexing. It means a lot that you care about the fisheries, the community, and the environment.
I’ve run into too many people that “own” public land and complaining for you to stay out. Like you said, respect the place, take care of the wildlife, leave the place cleaner than you found it and we can all share the same places. Sometimes people just suck! Great chromer Adam!!
Your dedication and persistence day after day is much appreciated. Your truly a caring and respectful young man . Some people think they own and try to dictate who and where one should fish. What a shame for the few who think that way. You handled the situation and our not deterred in your pursuit. Fish on brother 👍
Nice job on retrieving Ense's gear! It was fun to watch a segment of real-life angling that we all have gone through. Even though it didn't involve a fish it is part of the adventure and quit a hairy moment scrambling on that log. Plus, I hate leaving tackle in the water. If you can't retrieve it, it becomes garbage!
the way i see it, keeping a couple big ones and letting the small ones go actually does help the population, as long as they aren't overfished. the big ones have already contributed to the population when they spawn in the Fall. that's why the season opens up in spring and ends in fall. the big ones eat up all the resources and creates competition for food and finding a mate
When you show up to a Steelhead hole with a video camera most real chasers will get pissed. Especially a tiny trib like that. Nobody wants to be up at 3 in the morning standing on a spot before the combat fiahing starts.
You do what you love and you spread the good will of the hobby! He is upset you are in his spot fishing and doing well. I bet if you asked him he watches fishing on tv which is exactly what you are doing but in a different form. Keep the videos coming!
From your interaction, I can guess the region you were fishing. Beautiful area but very locals only attitude. Thanks for taking a bag of trash out. I teach my son the same thing. Leave it better than you found it.
The "Angry Local's" motivation is pure selfishness! He wants the river to himself and couldn't care less about exposing others to the great outdoors. Love to see you making the place better than you found it and keep being you. Sad people like that, make me appreciate me that much more!
@@DieHardFishing most fisherman already know about these kind of spots. Just smile and wave (think Penguins of Madagascar) and walk on. Now, if you backpacked in 10 miles......😃
I wouldn't be so quick to reach that conclusion.. Sure, they may misplace their frustrations on others, but i think a lot of that sentiment especially regarding steelhead and trout comes from a place of deep respect for such a fragile resource and the frustration from seeing it diminish year after year. Overfishing, habitat destruction and pure explotation from those that don't share the same level of respect.
@@ConsumeYourSoul619 There are always exceptions, but I'm not prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt. A quick conversation with Adam would have told him he was a responsible steward!
@@MasterCrowOutdoors The way I see it is that there's no doubt for a second that YT has caused an exponential growth in fishing popularity. There are both positive and negative aspects to it. That being said, an angler getting angry with someone wearing a camera and threatening them not to film or harassing them if they do film is flat out wrong, both morally and legally, and it is also an uphill battle. Fishing content will only continue to grow on social media platforms, and many fisheries will continue to grow as well. Especially in cases where it's either a highly prized gamefish or a source of food for local communities. To resent people for wanting to share and teach what they love doing is just misplaced anger, ignorance to reality, and ultimately most damaging to the person doing the hating whether or not they are aware of it. If a person has a problem with fisheries feeling overcrowded or overfished, that is where we need to push back at State/Provincial governments to continue to invest in the future of the fisheries, First and foremost via habitat repair and restoration for the fish, secondly (and almost as important) via funding or expanding more hatcheries and proven practices such as brood stock programs to provide healthy fisheries and ample opportunities so that people aren't relegated to a relatively small number of fisheries compared to historical precedent, and thirdly by stiffening up enforcement in places where irresponsible practices are getting out of hand.
I recognize many of the spots, I grew up fly fishing for steelhead there with my father and grandfather. Two things I noticed. 1) beware of crossing a river with down logs downstream. That’s called a strainer and usually how people drown wading. You made an unsafe crossing. 2) The few times you missed the fish you set the hook by lifting rod straight up in the air. When you drifting your fly or in your case a jig down stream and want to set the hook, don’t lift the rod straight up, that is pulling the hook out of the fish’s mouth. Instead if you are on right side of bank drifting down stream you set the hook by pulling your rod down and to the right. If on left bank you pull down and to the left. You won’t miss anymore fish that way. Try it, I think you will notice you miss less hook sets.
Got a kick out of you climbing the snag for the lure. Did that a lot in my youth. Also, I know you can't help it because of the cam, but the fish can hear and see shadows under water. We'd try to sneak up as best as possible. If one gets off the hook, they'll usually drop downstream a couple of holes. Really envoy your vlog. Learned a lot from the saltwater side of things!
I’m the same. When creek fishing in the eastern sierras for rainbows, every spot looks ideal but you really got to put in the work to find the perfect conditions.
Man you deserve some waders with separate wading boots. I know it’s a big jump in cost for some decent ones, but it’s so worth it if you’re moving around the river
I love creek fishing in northern calif. If you want to hike in waders inexpensive one won’t cut it. I have found one I love, it’s mid range price wise. Look up High'N Dry waders. Very durable. Enjoy your videos.
the 'locals only' ethos has crept a little too deep into so many pastimes - fishing, surfing, diving, mountain-biking....it's a shame that the thinking is is more exclusion 'this is mine!' vs. inclusion - 'this is ours, lets have fun together'. Cali is a huge state with dozens of hundreds of miles of rivers and streams, public lands, etc., so let people enjoy their pursuits. Pretty simple. That said, Adam, I'd vote you give up the chest harness GoPro for a chest-harness holster - CA is big, but the sketch factor is at the undeniable stage. Wear a rig and those loud-mouth bozos might re-think things.
Good tutorial. I’ve caught a lot of fish in the holes you were at. Do not share this location please. I’m one of those locals. The only time I go “Karen” is when idiots disrespect the environment or the other fishermen. This once was a prolific river. Septic in the valley, people pumping water illegally from the river, drought, sea lions….Not nearly enough fish anymore and not built for combat fishing. I’m glad you are spreading the message to be respectful and leave it better than you found it.
You do a great job of educating your viewers about best practice with regards to regulations, fish health, and safety. Im sure if that anti-TH-camr had seen your videos, he wouldn’t have given you an earful.
I've heard it said that 90% of the fish, (steelhead) hold in 10% of the river. The tough part is that the 10% varies by water level, clarity, and changing currents. Fish on!
When I go surf fishing in my area, I get a lot of people/tourists coming up as I reel in the fish, and even when I'm not catching. Most times it turns into an enjoyable tutorial of what bait to use. But not everyone believes in fishing, so I also get a lot of glares. Surfers tend to get right in my casting area on purpose to show there disdain. As for youtubers, well.. I don't think people are surprised I'm wearing a camera. I try to give other youtubers their space. When I feel like people have issues I get right into the surf where they can't follow and I can't hear them lol
i have caught probably close to a hundred fish from under that over pass area over a 20 year period--little background--the dept of fish and wildlife barred the monterey salmon and steel head project from installing 30K or so smolts every season about 2005. The dept caught pressure from Cal Trout about the origin of the eggs...we used to see a return of 3 to 5k steelies a year from that project--now I would be surprised if there are even a 1000 returning-so I stopped fishing there about 5 6 years ago. Very sad
It is best not to drag the fish up on the bank if you intend to release the fish. Fish have a protective slime coating that will come off if they are rolling around in the dirt/sand. Steelhead are especially fragile so I do my best to keep them in the water while handling them. At most I'll lift them up for a couple seconds for a quick pic.
@@DieHardFishing agreed-but the fish will not be harmed by a little sand. and will be that much less tired I have used this way on 100s of fish and released unharmed
On top of being a great fisherman your ability to capture the vibe of the different fisheries is unreal. Just wanted to pop in and thank you for putting these out, and never worry about the local goons your ethics are solid.
If some supposed local gave me a hard time. I would give a detailed map to his spot. This is public land and you have all the rights in the worlt to fish it as well as share the location. I don't care how much prople think differently. Nice videos, thanks.
FYI, you MIGHT need a permit to film if you're in the state park and they consider this "commercial" filming. Contact them to be sure you're allowed to film next time you plan to go out there.
They illogically blame, to a small degree, the lack of fish on ‘outsiders’ coming in and catching them…yet they have their cabins and homes in the watershed, on septic systems, that impact the watershed and water quality..and that’s OK with them
Now you ..are understanding conservative conservationists thought...it sad this idea is being scorned in our country now....nature is respected when we fish....for this is the reason it was given to us.....Full blooded Native American fan here bud....dine'...don't let folks like that discourage you.....been fan for 2 years now...keep going young man...yeigo..
Not saying it’s right or wrong but people like to try & ruin the vibe when they see someone enjoying themselves. Don’t let negative people ruin a great day out doing something positive.
We didn’t see the interaction but it sounds reasonable for them to share their opinion. If they escalated or you felt threatened to leave, then that’s wrong.
TH-camrs have ruined many a river in washington by saying the name of the river. You do a good job by not naming the river you're on. Good bank fishing spots are few and far between and can be crowded and covered in trash with one mention on youtube
the only problem i would see with people filming is the pollution that comes with more people knowing the spots. i never heard you say to keep the spots clean but i assume you dont throw things out. like Lief says, leave with more trash than you came with. It's all about the garbage that people leave behind and it would be my main reason for not wanting a spot to be known. edit: i wrote this before seeing the end of your video lol. maybe you can organize a youtubers cleanup days and then make a cookout
I don't hate on ya but.... the reason the 2-5% ers do, is because they, like myself, have been steelheading there and other rivers for many, many years and long before social media or even the internet... and we had to learn the hard way = by absolutely GRINDING and learning through trial and error. Level of expertise AND more importantly, of appreciation... increases exponentially when one has to work hard for and earn the rewards of fishing or any endeavor worth endeavoring :) PEACE, Mark
I don’t think I’ve ever heard so much whining from your viewers Adam, then this bunch. Karen’s gonna be Karen’s.😂 If you guys don’t like his TH-cam channel, start your own .
No matter where you go, there’s always gonna be a Karen out there mad at you for being you. Lol. This weekend 2 Karens cuss me out because they didn’t like how I was handling the fish I caught. Haters gonna hate
Unfortunately the locals only attitude isn’t practiced enough. Too many people sit back and just do nothing as these tutorial watching googans walk around spot burning and trashing areas. It’s not the TH-camrs it’s their viewers. I know you’ve been a good steward in that regard and don’t condone that attitude. Fishing has gone from a time when you got your knowledge from family and friends from years of experience to a 10 minute you tube tutorial. It’s sad but that’s the way it is. But you gotta respect new faces because you don’t know everyone’s struggle. But I will forever live by if I see something I will say something. Trash our spots and we’ll break your face. Respect the land and fishery that you don’t frequent and be courteous that is all anyone wants.
U know to me as long as they respect th3 river and the area no one owns the river and its a public river anyone can fish it..same with hunting area. It's open public and anyone can hunt or fish it..I pay for my own lic to hunt and fish legally just like everyone else..so no one can tell me where I can't hunt or fish unless it's private.
You think that one is a deep hole you should see my ex,ha ha just goofing around. I never cought a chrome steelhead but I have got some nice salmon in the Trinity river and out of Halfmoon Bay.
Yes, they all do. Every time he drops a video there are guys there the next day. Ive done it multiple times. You can take any one of his videos and find out exactly where he was.
You should practice fly fishing for steelhead... it would seem fun and I think they use egg pattern for steelhead to... and I head it's more easy to vast under a tree if you use the right casting tactics
All the guys trying to talk shit bout the locals who are trying to preserve this river are kooks. If your a real fisherman you don’t watch TH-cam videos to get it down you get out an do it. And if you weren’t looking to profit from the river you wouldn’t have a bunch of links and discount codes in the description. The river is finally coming back to life an then you got some kook blowin it up with TH-cam videos
It’s not like you’re naming the river you’re fishing on and exact location. Only people that are gonna know are the one that know. Can’t stand these righteous hypocrites who just wanna hear themselves talk and pretend they are educated.
Never understand this - you don't give names, directions, parking spots etc. Anybody who can pickup the exact river & hole based on the background in the video, has been there before!!
I admire your coolness when dealing with situations like that. In my 67 years I've seen it all when dealing with angry people. Great video Adam
I'm 67, been fishing in a place in the bay for 40 years, last year when I was there some guy didn't like I was there, it's the first time I've seen him there, that's the way it is now a days, thanks nice fish!

you also use rainbow trout as bait?

I’m not sure why people think you tubers are a bad thing. I love to fish, and I love to watch fishing on tv. Keep the videos coming
If anything I feel the TH-camrs are the good ones basically every fishing TH-camr I see always picks up other peoples trash kinda stuff.
It's when they put a quiet spot on blast
I can understand both sides here because all it takes is one youtube video for a spot to get blown up, get overfished, and absolutely ruined for years
@@LettuceLand The DFW does not put money into restorations unless there are sufficient anglers using the resources.
@@LettuceLandthat's the reason he doesn't tell where the river is at.

Good job bro! Those fish don't come easy!
You got that right!
I recognize many of the spots, I grew up fly fishing for steelhead there with my father and grandfather. Two things I noticed.

Adam, you can buy replacement felt soles for waders, there to glue back on so u really don't need to get new ones 😊
Thanks for the tip! I kinda want a nicer pair anyway but maybe I'll do that in the meantime.
I love creek fishing in northern calif. If you want to hike in waders inexpensive one won’t cut it. I have found one I love, it’s mid range price wise. Look up High'N Dry waders. Very durable.
Enjoy your videos.
Thanks for the tip! I'll check them out!
Dandy Steelhead. The epic symphony music told me something good was about to happen.
the 'locals only' ethos has crept a little too deep into so many pastimes - fishing, surfing, diving, mountain-biking....it's a shame that the thinking is is more exclusion 'this is mine!' vs. inclusion - 'this is ours, lets have fun together'. Cali is a huge state with dozens of hundreds of miles of rivers and streams, public lands, etc., so let people enjoy their pursuits. Pretty simple. That said, Adam, I'd vote you give up the chest harness GoPro for a chest-harness holster - CA is big, but the sketch factor is at the undeniable stage. Wear a rig and those loud-mouth bozos might re-think things.
The problem is when TH-camrs post spots on the internet to thousands of viewers with no ethics or respect.

9:09 fishermans life!!
Over here in the UK That pool that’s 2ft deep Would be full of fish basking and waiting for bait in the slacks
You do a great job of educating your viewers about best practice with regards to regulations, fish health, and safety. Im sure if that anti-TH-camr had seen your videos, he wouldn’t have given you an earful.

I do get the "spot burning" argument from locals.
I once talked with DWR in Idaho and he told me they've caught tagged 9 yr run steelhead. Pretty impressive hearing that. Fish was about 38lbs he said.
Dang that huge!!!!!!
Got my fishing license tried fishing the south coast of Ca. with a rapala just way too muddy its nuts.
Three days of trying to catch fish to finally catch One Steelhead - wow, this is hard!
You need some korker wading boots great for hiking in too.
I'm watching your video. My girlfriend can hear the narration. She looks over and asks, "Is that the guy from 'Everybody Loves Raymond?'"
lolololol
Always enjoy the adventure!!
i didnt realize how well their colors blend in with the bottom of the river.
Yeah they are virtually undetectable!!!!
a little tip==when the fish gets tired just start walking away from the water and pull it up on the sandy beach
It is best not to drag the fish up on the bank if you intend to release the fish. Fish have a protective slime coating that will come off if they are rolling around in the dirt/sand.

Great fishing with great rewards
Yes it was
I hope he has good health insurance😂
Crazy how chrome that fish is for having spawned already.
Yeah I thought that too!
Must be a female. They hold color better than a buck.

Guess not😁
That was my buddy Ensei
Great job brother

You need a net if you actually care about taking care of the fish. Nice catch
Nice hen
You may want to check out the addicted fishing and check out the rigs they use for steelhead
Those bobbers look good. Wanna try them to fish balanced leeches and midges on the spin rod. How heavy is the bobber ? Is that the steelhead model?
I'm not sure off the top of my head but they should have all the details on their website!
Just never name the area and your good its a long state.
Have you tried salmon eggs or roe
Not saying it’s right or wrong but people like to try & ruin the vibe when they see someone enjoying themselves. Don’t let negative people ruin a great day out doing something positive.
what river is that
More steel!
Amen be respectful and a good steward of the land
You do you, is what I'd say.
Why no net?

the only problem i would see with people filming is the pollution that comes with more people knowing the spots. i never heard you say to keep the spots clean but i assume you dont throw things out. like Lief says, leave with more trash than you came with. It's all about the garbage that people leave behind and it would be my main reason for not wanting a spot to be known.
edit: i wrote this before seeing the end of your video lol. maybe you can organize a youtubers cleanup days and then make a cookout
I hate when people ruin your fishing day.
don't advertise this river. this river does not need any more pressure!
“This river”… another episode of how to fish but not where to fish.
Somewhat hypothetical.
I don't hate on ya but.... the reason the 2-5% ers do, is because they, like myself, have been steelheading there and other rivers for many, many years and long before social media or even the internet... and we had to learn the hard way = by absolutely GRINDING and learning through trial and error. Level of expertise AND more importantly, of appreciation... increases exponentially when one has to work hard for and earn the rewards of fishing or any endeavor worth endeavoring :) PEACE, Mark
Not any one person is more entitled to what is in that river than the other, no matter how long they've fished there, lived there, etc.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard so much whining from your viewers Adam, then this bunch.
Karen’s gonna be Karen’s.😂
If you guys don’t like his TH-cam channel, start your own .
Was his name was karen?
No matter where you go, there’s always gonna be a Karen out there mad at you for being you. Lol.
This weekend 2 Karens cuss me out because they didn’t like how I was handling the fish I caught. Haters gonna hate
Unfortunately the locals only attitude isn’t practiced enough. Too many people sit back and just do nothing as these tutorial watching googans walk around spot burning and trashing areas. It’s not the TH-camrs it’s their viewers. I know you’ve been a good steward in that regard and don’t condone that attitude. Fishing has gone from a time when you got your knowledge from family and friends from years of experience to a 10 minute you tube tutorial. It’s sad but that’s the way it is. But you gotta respect new faces because you don’t know everyone’s struggle. But I will forever live by if I see something I will say something. Trash our spots and we’ll break your face. Respect the land and fishery that you don’t frequent and be courteous that is all anyone wants.
U know to me as long as they respect th3 river and the area no one owns the river and its a public river anyone can fish it..same with hunting area. It's open public and anyone can hunt or fish it..I pay for my own lic to hunt and fish legally just like everyone else..so no one can tell me where I can't hunt or fish unless it's private.
You ran into a Karen in the wild
You think that one is a deep hole you should see my ex,ha ha just goofing around. I never cought a chrome steelhead but I have got some nice salmon in the Trinity river and out of Halfmoon Bay.
I live near the Trinity. River has really gone down hill. Poor numbers of trout.
Your videos do not Spot Burn the location. And that to me makes all the difference.
Yes, they all do. Every time he drops a video there are guys there the next day. Ive done it multiple times. You can take any one of his videos and find out exactly where he was.
You should practice fly fishing for steelhead... it would seem fun and I think they use egg pattern for steelhead to... and I head it's more easy to vast under a tree if you use the right casting tactics
All the guys trying to talk shit bout the locals who are trying to preserve this river are kooks. If your a real fisherman you don’t watch TH-cam videos to get it down you get out an do it. And if you weren’t looking to profit from the river you wouldn’t have a bunch of links and discount codes in the description. The river is finally coming back to life an then you got some kook blowin it up with TH-cam videos
It’s not like you’re naming the river you’re fishing on and exact location. Only people that are gonna know are the one that know. Can’t stand these righteous hypocrites who just wanna hear themselves talk and pretend they are educated.
Dude, do yourself a favor and get yourself some real waders with wader boots. Way better for Rambo hiking like your doing!
Will do!
I tell them to mind their fn business
First 🙌🏼‼️
u werent first lol
@@ReelAZMatt thanks comment monitor 🤣 who the fucc cares
Never understand this - you don't give names, directions, parking spots etc. Anybody who can pickup the exact river & hole based on the background in the video, has been there before!!
Totally agree!
Near the Monterey area. Doesn't look like our rivers up north.
seriously stop using rainbow trout as bait!
