NEW TECHNIQUE UNLOCKED for Catching Steelhead

It was a tough day out on the river. Cold, wet, and not too many bites. Steelhead fishing can be a grind at times but thats what makes it fun! At the end of the day, I decided to try something new and it payed off big time!!!

Did you notice the steelhead jumping behind you at 1:02?

Adam, thanks for sharing your experience with your Baseball coach. He was a good influence on you! Now we all know where you got your tenacity from. You are a great example for all of us.

for me, this is definitely one of your most enjoyable vids. You brought back many memories for me.

Great video I recommend gold spoons with any color like green or red. I’ve caught 16 this season on spoons. They really go for it.

Great catch brother! FYI, be careful, that river floods heavy up to where those greens on the opposite bank.

I have only ever caught steelhead on rooster tail spinners in the Hood River in Oregon. My brother and friends always used salmon eggs for bait.

Nice. Got em before the river blew out! 👍🏼 fishing should be good, if we can keep the rain out for a couple weeks. Was successful on the American around that time too. But I love running up there where you are. Only about 20 minutes for me. Tight lines 🤙🏼

I’ve spent numerous days getting skunked 🦨 steelhead fishing. I think I get just as much enjoyment out of being on the water 💦
Besides nobody likes a quitter. As you know dedication pays off eventually. Glad you went back out!!
Keep’m bent!!!✌🏻✌🏻

Amazing no other fishers just off a major road and bridge and lots (?) of fish. Wine country, not fishing country?? Bobber fishing. lots of slack line! Silver Flatfish was a great steelhead lure 50 years ago.

Steelhead fishing is like running a marathon. Always a grind-it-out affair, but the reward is awesome! Way too many trips ending empty-handed! (which makes the successful ones special!) Nice video!

Have you considered learning to use a Baitcasting reel. Get the right rod reel casting setup for Steelhead and Salmon you will significantly increase effectiveness in many drift fishing techniques. You also will feel better control especially with bigger fish. Spinning definitely has its advantages in certain applications, but it's good to have both. Get a LH quality in 200 size like a Daiwa Coastal 200. You can use a 100 if your not fishing bigger rivers, but a 200 if bigger fish bigger water. You can do it all one hand and extend your drift without flipping and closing your bail. I enjoy watching your videos and how your experience grows. Thanks and Fish On 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🎣

Spoon fishing for steelhead is the only time I actually think a baitcaster makes a significant difference. Highly recommend giving it a try, it really allows you to control the drift, let more line out, get it closer to the ground, etc. all mid drift. I’m sure there’s some YouTube channels that have covered this, but seriously as someone who has caught hundreds of steelhead I think it’s a game-changer that I didn’t take seriously until I saw it in action.

Also hardware in general, but especially spinners, tend to select for the bigger and more aggressive fish in a run. I’ve caught only 2 in the 20 lb range but both were on spinners.

I’m a fan of lil Cleo spoons. I’ve had great days with salmon and steelhead!

[brusselsprouts]

"Anytime you can get a fish to thw bank its a win" thank you for thw reminder. Caught one like that well north of you last week. Maybe i shouldn't have been WTF!!!

[jonathanfelix]

Finally I been waiting on this vid! It was good to meet you Adam

[fowledfinatics]

Was able to get one on a STEELHEAD SLAMMER, spinner. By far the best, salmon/steelhead, spinner out there. But hey, they will bite anything shinny 🤙🏼

Try the riffle upriver just above sailor bar. I like a three way swivel, three and a half to four foot leader, size 2 hook threaded with a night crawler. then a six to eight in. dropper too a slinky weight. For metal I like 1/4 to 3/4 little Cleo chrome / Blue. Slinky weights are nearly snag proof on the drift. Get an assortment to adjust for the speed of the current.

[DanA-xwxy]

In the Midwest a great debate on Snap swivels vs no snap swivels with our friend Little Cleo. Work well for King Salmon too.

Some of my best days were the shitty rain and hail days in Oregon 🐟 didn’t wanna fish either but sometimes it works out

[norcalkushkrafter]

My biggest steelhead was 11 lbs Trinity river on a #4 Mepps
