    I'm with you on the Seaguar fluro. Helps tube flies sink quicker and it props up the trailing hook very nicely.

    What do you think about the clearwater boat for floating that river? Thinking about a trip this next fall, likely an overnight float.

    • @riverrightoutdoors
      @riverrightoutdoors 4 дні тому

      It all depends on what section you’re going to float. It should do great for an over night trip. It’s a pretty stable boat but not sure I would take it down some class 3 or class 4 rapids. Good luck and Let me know how it goes 🙌🙌🙌

    I guide in the UK and always use reels with the most noise - 1 because I love it and 2 as your buddy said I know what clients are doing with their fish as often we can’t see the rod - reminded me of fishing for sea trout at night over here - great vid!

    This long range casting technique is causing too much surface disturbance on such calm waters. Maybe you are casting over and spooking good fish. Think your strategy through...

    @reelwildfishing Місяць тому

    Do you think it was the T-11 that snagged up? I don’t know but it seems like that would be kind of heavy line drag for the rocks through there. Great video, I was definitely on the edge of my seat

    • @riverrightoutdoors
      @riverrightoutdoors Місяць тому

      I think you’re right, when I was editing the video the fish was jumping pretty much next to me. Below me was a huge boulder in the water. I think the Skagit head was wrapped around the rock as well. If I was smart about it I would have ran down and went below the rock right away to get the line off the rock. Thanks for the kind words and good luck this winter season.

    Thank you for sharing! Love the sound of the reel screaming! Beautiful steelhead! I was looking at both boats and I was leaning towards clearwater for floating small rivers. However, I like that you can use the stealth for stillwater too (like a floatube). Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!

    • @riverrightoutdoors
      @riverrightoutdoors Місяць тому

      I think the stealth is more versatile but I love the clearwater. It is super stable and easy to row. The oars were up grade from the original ones. I like that you sit out of the water in the Clearwater . Both would be a nice addition to go fishin😉 Thanks for watching part 2 will be out next Sunday .
