After that carnage we caught and safely released many other large Chinook in search of Coho (Silver Salmon) but could n...

    Agree 100%...I don't think the fish is sitting under water thinking, oops that was a horrible looking cast I'm not biting that. I've used cane poles, casting rods, fly rods, then I bought a spey rod; they all catch fish, could care less how you present it.

    That looks so relaxing. Perfect fly water. Back in the day I used to slay em just down from the BC boat ramp with a gold ribbed hare's ear or a roderick haig steelhead bee tied to a 10' sink tip just mended and drifted. the strikes were nasty! Tried various flies, speys and what not but those two seemed to have the magic. Didn't think it was possible to catch em via fly on the Cow! I was wrong. Thanx for the great video Gene! Tight lines!

You caught a steelhead that day, for crap sakes, you must have been casting just fine!!😂 It blows me away when people decide to comment negatively rather than just watch or not!

    I will say, i love the fishing. But, the thing i absolutely love about your videos is the story they tell. A mans love for the river, ocean or lakes. You're 100% correct, it doesn't matter the size of a fish. It's the thrill of catching one. I started fishing at 3 or 4 in the creek by our house. Lol i caught more trees than fish. But, i loved every second of it. The talking and stories you tell truly take me back. And for that i can't thank you enough. Those memories of time spent with loved ones and friends are more valuable than gold. By the time i was 26 my dad and great uncle who i spent thousands of hours outdoors with had all passed. So it makes those memories even more cherished. Btw the pink on the vest goes along with your smile when you caught the trout. Wonderful video.

    Just a heads up for anyone watching the video, they’re throwing heads overboard cuz area 12 was open for all shrimp species at the time. During spot prawn only openers you’re required to keep heads in the boat! I throw them on ice but next year I’ll experiment with keeping the heads in a separate container and seeing if dispatching them immediately improves taste

    I think it’s the hatchery fish that are ‘endangered’ not the native.

Well with 26 fish to the boat we were only able to keep one with the right number of fins., so we when bottom fishing too.
