planned on sitting this week out being very sick and the weather windy and cold but as the weekend was ticking away the minutes i couldn't take it any longer - i just had to get out🙄
No skunkin! Awesome job Bill - way to sneak in an opportunistic steelhead session before the deep freeze locks up the creeks for the next few weeks! Tight lines my friend! Captain Zac
What are you doing out there, Bill. You’re hard core. Sometimes, the river is calling you and you have to listen, no matter the circumstances. You’re lucky you have some local tribe close by and can fish for a couple hours. Glad you got rewarded at the end, usually it’s tough fishing after the creek gets pounded and also fishing in sub freezing temps. Nice sized hen, great start to 2025 and the No Skunkin’ streak lives on. Happy New Year Bill!
Sweet. Fished there last year. My buddy from work and I used to fish there, we actually would see runs of a few browns come in that creek. Wish Capt. Bob was still here in Clarence, now its a drive for me, lol. Happy New Year Bill, be well.
Lucky you! Went out there Saturday and it was all slush, couldn’t even get my float to drift properly without it getting stuck. Lasted about an hour before we decided to call it. First time we went skunking in a few months 😮. Good job again! 🙌🙌
Your definitely dedicated. Out in the cold with a cold brings it to a whole new level. Loved the ending with you fishing with your grandson. Some of my fondest memories of my grandfather was when took me fishing and hopefully your grandson will have those memories of when you took him. Tight lines sir!!
I did the exact same thing as you. Fished the buffalo for an hour. Had one tank hooked up and got a really bad hookset on him so he popped off. Didn’t get feeling back in my left hand until 10pm that night 😂 Let’s hope for some above freezing temps. This season has been brutal! One of the worst for us diehard steelheaders. Tight lines!
hello billy, my name is jimmy, and i got cold just watching your video. the olive F jig did the trick. your a true trooper. hope your feelin better & go bills!!!!
@@BillMikesAnglingAdventures oh darn, try incorporating lots of garlic, onions, and ginger in your meals, soup, etc. it will do you wonders, boost your immune system. also spicy food, and ginseng products. hope you feel much better!!!!
@@BillMikesAnglingAdventures keep it up, feel better billy!! once you feel much much better, dont stop keep it up. the bills & burts dam need ya, lol!!!!
Bill, this might sound crazy but I’ve always wanted to run into you at Burt and see you sometime because I love your fishing videos and my buddy said go try come park, went out there Sunday just watching the video and I see the concrete going down the the water and said “holy sh*t that’s como where I was yesterday, must’ve just missed him and then I saw myself walking in the background at 1:17 😂, I had my spinning rod and fly rod with me, I think you left then I crossed over, wished I crossed over sooner
Nice hen Bill. Haven’t been out since before thanksgiving. 😢 Hate that I have a three hour drive to the closest stream but it’s a good thing in this kind of weather or I probably would be sick
Know the feeling. Need to get out of the house, get fresh air even if the fish won't cooperate! Only caught 1 fish over here on the east side of NY in a month, it's been pretty brutal man.
Madness.... actually I'd have gone if I thought I could have been able to get back out of the driveway I'd have to park in. Can't wait til my sister and brother in law move on the property. I've been waiting all year for a weekend off and good river conditions and got stuck with this crap. Lmk how the vest worked. Family got me one of those, the socks and gloves as well
Weather sucks. Just started casting for browns the week of Christmas zero people big fish. Now after 10 years of easy winters it wants to go back to normal.
My son's middle school is just across that creek, we catch a lot over there...if you want more of a guarantee of shaking the skunk on any given day there, just take a few steps up the creek to the dam, it's like fish in a barrel over there.
Nice fish, Bill and no skunkin! Can't expect a much better outcome than that in the brutal conditions we are both experiencing. My impoundments hereabouts are all frozen over and will stay that way for quite some time. It's that yukky time of year with a huge winter storm bonus. Stay safe out there! Don
Nah that’s cheating all the heated accessories, you got to embrace the cold my guy!😂 I went out yesterday too that wind had a nasty bite and it’s only supposed to get colder. We’re finally getting ice this yr I can use all my ice gear I bought 2 yrs ago.
I know what you mean when you say you have to get out. It drives me crazy if I miss an opportunity to get out, especially when you’re on a no skunken streak.

Your a true genuine steelheader

Nice hen Bill. Haven’t been out since before thanksgiving. 😢
Hate that I have a three hour drive to the closest stream but it’s a good thing in this kind of weather or I probably would be sick
thanks man ✌️thats a long drive to freeze
I was up on Saturday and was able to find that skunk you were able to avoid lol man was it brutal the winds and lake affect snow kicked my butt.
lol the weathers been brutal and don't look like its gettin better any time soon - close call for the skunkin for me
Nice job. I am struggling to get one or two here due slushy ice.
thanks man ✌️cold makes it tough for sure
Most addictive thing
✌️
Know the feeling. Need to get out of the house, get fresh air even if the fish won't cooperate! Only caught 1 fish over here on the east side of NY in a month, it's been pretty brutal man.
if i don't get out it makes for a tough week workin - this time of the year can be tough
Your a stud......HNY!
lol 🤣thanks
Madness.... actually I'd have gone if I thought I could have been able to get back out of the driveway I'd have to park in. Can't wait til my sister and brother in law move on the property. I've been waiting all year for a weekend off and good river conditions and got stuck with this crap. Lmk how the vest worked. Family got me one of those, the socks and gloves as well
that sucks ✌️vest worked great - i got to get the gloves now 😁
That place is 2 mins from my house . Went 6 for 6 there on the 3rd. There were a lot of people there doing good.
Nice👍👍 i heard it was good on the 4th too - no wonder it was slow - most fish were hooked already
Weather sucks. Just started casting for browns the week of Christmas zero people big fish. Now after 10 years of easy winters it wants to go back to normal.
we got spoiled with some mild winters for sure
My son's middle school is just across that creek, we catch a lot over there...if you want more of a guarantee of shaking the skunk on any given day there, just take a few steps up the creek to the dam, it's like fish in a barrel over there.
thanks man might have to try there next time ✌️
Nice fish, Bill and no skunkin!
Can't expect a much better outcome than that in the brutal conditions we are both experiencing. My impoundments hereabouts are all frozen over and will stay that way for quite some time. It's that yukky time of year with a huge winter storm bonus. Stay safe out there! Don
Thanks Appreciate the well wishes Don, its that time of the year - stay warm!
No skunkin!!! What size and color jig??
thanks ✌️1/16 oz gold head olive
Heated socks? Do you have heated line and rod too? Last time I tried to fish in those conditions my line and rod guides all froze up.
that sounds like a good idea heated rod 🤣😂
Milwaukee?
Buffalo NY suburbs ✌️
Nah that’s cheating all the heated accessories, you got to embrace the cold my guy!😂 I went out yesterday too that wind had a nasty bite and it’s only supposed to get colder. We’re finally getting ice this yr I can use all my ice gear I bought 2 yrs ago.
haha i cant handle the cold like a young man 😜my ice gears been collecting dust for 2 seasons now
No skunkin!
thanks man ✌️
Couple hours in the freezing cold is good for ya. Puts hair on your chest! 😅
yes sir 😦
Let's start a business together. Heated rod guides!
sounds like a plan 😆
I know what you mean when you say you have to get out. It drives me crazy if I miss an opportunity to get out, especially when you’re on a no skunken streak.
yes sir - had to start the year off right
