I seen this guide at lunch one day. He asked if I like fishing while u was looking at pics from the locals. I had no idea who I was talking to. Lol. Hope to see him soon again for another conversation. Rich is that man!!
Rich is one of the best of many guides! Love fishing with him he runs a top notch operation. Last time I fished with him was for silvers with my father. Rich my Dad really enjoyed fishing with you, he unfortunately passed away in 2015 from Lou Gehrig's disease. His name was Dan Scott you may remember him.....
wishing the best to Richard Underwood get well god speed .Best guide on the OP PERIOD.Got my personal best on his boat twice.Get well Richard (Ritchie).
Seen some really large fish pulled out of the cool Creek rich was talking about. The tribe is working hard to keep there fisheries working for them. Good job guys. God bless
YOU CAN ONLY FISH THIS RIVER BY HAVING/PAYING A NATIVE GUIDE .. AND WHILE FISHING HE HAS TO BE WITHIN 100 FEET OF YOU.. AND HES THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN RUN THE BOAT.. CRAP REGULATIONS.. ALL FISHERIES SHOULD BE OPEN TO EVERYONE I DONT CARE WHAT TRIBE YOU ARE FROM... THATS LIKE MAKING THEM PAY A WHITE GUY TO FISH OUTSIDE THE REZ. IF WHITE GUYS WOULD HAVE LOST THE WARS WOULD THE INDIANS GIVEN THEM A BUNCH OF LAND AND RIVERS TO KEEP THEM OUT OF?? I THINK NOT.
@@uramag7 Your point is? If we ran our hatcheries like they did there and implemented brood stock our fisheries would be way more robust, creating more angling opportunities for people like you and I.
Fishing the rock garden will definitely put some fish in the boat I went years ago and hooked up first cast turned out to be a snake(downstreamer)about 8 lbs but I kept it anyway at the end of the day I was ashamed because the next smallest fish was around 12lbs and they kept getting bigger with the biggest being 23lbs well worth the money paid
Love the video.since the quinault is now closed. Are there any othere native tributaries in the Olympic Peninsula, that can be fished and how/who do i contact For and a Native fishing Guide?
Was gonna ask the same thing. Beat me to it. Maybe since last episode this guide said they were fishing the Native American reservation, maybe the rules are different or don’t apply. Not sure but it’s sure a shame what they’re doing to guides In Washington.
@@austinsonger388 that’s what I figured. My message wasn’t at all hateful or anything of that nature. I think the way the tribes have managed that river is best around. I live in Northern California and it’s a shame what our rivers have become. I definitely need to get myself up there and fish. Thank for the Reply man.
@@KyleSilva1990 for sure bro. I didn't mean to come off ass mad either. I work.out in this area where this river and streams are. These guys work.there butts off to keep the fishing good for everyone. And they love to share the water with good folks. I hope u get a chance to come up man. U probably won't leave. Especially if your from Cali. North westtern Washington is so beautiful and full of wildlife and adventure. God bless brother and good luck out there.
Not really I dont think. By the looks of the rapids if that’s what you call them. Their lines are just far enough behind the boat I don’t believe it matters but when I back troll, I prefer more like 100 ft back
If they cared about the wild wish they'd not use bait, scent, and barbs, as well as not fish from a boat. Lame. also the way they treated that dolly. That's a shame.
if it wasnt for the quinalt tribe the fisheries on the op would suck thanks to them the runs are plentiful if only wdfw would get on board and copy what the tribe here does we would have all these BS closures and worries about the native fish God bless the quinalt tribe for creating a sustainable fishery these guys work there butts off and all of them ive spoke to are super friendly and love sharing the water with the rest of us. Bait scent and boats are not the problem commercial fishing and crappy hatchery programs are the problem
I think now that all fish like that should be caught with spinning gear or fly gear, all you’re doing with that gear is just winching them in. My as well just be fishing for those stinking chinooks.
Nice fish. Awesome ending 😂 and thanks for that great knot idea!!

What a river - fished with Inky back in the day - fished the Upper River many X's - many big fish throughout the years...my favorite river!

I wish the state would copy what the Quinault tribe is doing.
@@JackSparrow-nq5wh Amen to that brotha the Quinalt tribe is doing a fantastic job
Oregon and Washington fisheries managers take notes! Great vid

@@uramag7 didn't they just make a new rule recently that these guys can't fish out of boats anymore on the coastal rivers in Washington?
@@208flatheads3 I'm pretty sure they're exempt from that
What is the cost of a day on the water guide and boat? Also guide and no boat?
Love the guide in this video. Guys a slayer. I gotta say you guys out west sure do complicate pickin a beed. Great video. Nice fish.
That's for sure. Thanks for watching!
Been watching since I was kid. Best fishing show and videos of all time.
Don't know about that but thanks!
@@AnglerWestTV I’m guessing he’s been watching your channel
@@AnglerWestTV i been watching since I was a kid too and im 29 lol
Great show, hatchery and wild fish coexisting in the same river!!! Oregon could learn a lot from the tribes management.
20 and 30 lb. Steelhead, wow
No doubt!
Love these videos they stick to fishing and not a bunch of promoting products and asking me to hit like and subscribe
Thanks for yet another great steelhead episode!!! Keep em coming! Maybe another Smith video for us California guys?
I'd love to do that!
Thanks for that rapala knot trick!

Love watching you guys
Thanks! Feel free to suggest new videos.
Love the video.since the quinault is now closed. Are there any othere native tributaries in the Olympic Peninsula, that can be fished and how/who do i contact For and a Native fishing Guide?
we need a few of those native boys to come help out the wdfw with their hatchery program.....
Are treble hooks allowed on this river? I thought only single point barbless hooks in Washington.
Different rules for the tribal rivers.
@@AnglerWestTV Right on!!
Richie is the best
The end 😂😂
What is the guide fee? Both with and without a boat??
Thanks
just jim
Please contact Rich Underwood. His info is given at the end of the video.
Just curious, are we able to use treble hook and fishing from boat this season? I thought WDFW banned it.
Was gonna ask the same thing. Beat me to it. Maybe since last episode this guide said they were fishing the Native American reservation, maybe the rules are different or don’t apply. Not sure but it’s sure a shame what they’re doing to guides In Washington.
This is a tribe area only and is totally legal. They can run treble hooks all day. And they definitely grow fish better then anywhere in the world!

That river is owned and managed by the quinault tribe they can use whatever they want including snagging hooks
I’m shocked that motor while trolling doesn’t scare the fish must be a super deep river
Not really I dont think. By the looks of the rapids if that’s what you call them. Their lines are just far enough behind the boat I don’t believe it matters but when I back troll, I prefer more like 100 ft back

I love your videos, but I’ll admit that dolly should’ve been kept after hitting the deck like that:(
