How To Build a Fishing Rod - Part 2 of 2 - From Butt to Tip-Top
This is part two of a two part series. Part one shows how to build a home made machine for wrapping your guides with thread. This is NOT the only way to build a machine of this type. Use your imagination and build to suit. If you can create tension on the thread and just hold the rod in hand you don't need a machine at all, just practice. A few fly tiers in the past didn't even use a vice and tied absolutely beautiful Atlantic Salmon flies. Use your imagination.
This video shows in detail installing handles, a rod seats, wrapping guides, installing a tip-top and much more. Tony Amato is NOT a self-proclaimed expert at rod building and this is the first time he has built a rod from start to finish. Is there a right or wrong way to build a rod? Not necessarily, but the more you watch and learn the more you can add to your own expertise. Comments are very welcome here.

    Sitting on anchor like that I don't often release the anchor anymore.If you just reel slow they will swim themselves right up under the boat then you pull them up and scoop.Seen a dozen fish in a row grabbed by sea lions.Time to do something different.Then we landed 3 in a row no sea lions.When you drag them up to the top against the current they are flopping and flashing easy for the sea lions to see and grab.If you keep a bow in the line downstream they stay on bottom and fight against it and the current and they dont draw attention of the sea lions.

    I think the solution to Franks lack of nutrients in the rivers and creeks problem is the American Shad. An ocean running fish. Full of nutrients. And easy to catch. Is there any reason that Shad couldn’t be used to help with replacing those nutrients?

    • @salmontroutsteelheadermaga5925
      @salmontroutsteelheadermaga5925 2 місяці тому

      From my experience Shad don't go a long distance up most of the smaller river systems/tributaries. I believe Nick saw some in the Lower Clackamas once years ago. In the main stem of the Columbia and the Willamette they 100% feed sturgeon and many other species of wildlife as they decay. I would wonder though how many fry they eat in the ocean as adults. Maybe someone has information on that? Millions of them return which means millions are feeding year round in the Pacific.

    Your days are numbered, Bill. :) How do I fish for steelhead swinging a spoon? ChatGPT Swinging spoons for steelhead can be a highly effective technique, especially in rivers like the Sol Duc. Here's how you can do it: Selecting the Spoon: Choose a spoon that mimics the size and color of the baitfish present in the river. Spoons with a silver or gold finish are popular choices. Sizes can vary, but typically, spoons between 2 to 4 inches long work well for steelhead. Tackle Setup: Use a medium to heavy action rod with a length of around 9 to 11 feet. Pair it with a quality spinning or baitcasting reel loaded with 10 to 15-pound test monofilament or braided line. You can attach a fluorocarbon leader of about 8 to 12 pounds to your mainline. Casting Technique: Start by positioning yourself slightly upstream from where you believe the steelhead might be holding. Cast the spoon across the river and slightly upstream, allowing it to swing downstream with the current. Swinging the Spoon: As the spoon swings downstream, use your rod tip to impart action to the spoon. This can be achieved by lifting your rod tip slightly and then lowering it, causing the spoon to dart and wobble in the water. The goal is to simulate the movement of a wounded or disoriented baitfish, which can trigger a strike from a steelhead. Vary Retrieve Speed: Experiment with different retrieve speeds to find what works best on any given day. Sometimes a slow, steady retrieve is effective, while other times a faster, more erratic retrieve might be the ticket. Pay Attention to Depth: Adjust the depth of your spoon by varying the length of your cast or by adding split shot weights to your line to get your spoon down to where the steelhead are holding. Be Patient and Persistent: Steelhead can be elusive, so don't get discouraged if you don't get a bite right away. Keep trying different spots, depths, and retrieve speeds until you find what works. Stay Alert: Be ready for a strike at any moment. Steelhead can hit a swinging spoon aggressively, so stay focused and be prepared to set the hook quickly when you feel a bite. By mastering the technique of swinging spoons for steelhead and adapting to the conditions of the river, you'll increase your chances of hooking into one of these prized fish on the Sol Duc River.
