@@JohnsNorthwestAdventures the cinematic shots and calm voice reminds me of what some realtors do to explain areas to potential clients. Best of luck if you go that route!
Wow, you may have unveiled a pattern. Ive noticed a disdain for chum (understandably lower quality) but i always appreciate the eggs. And as for the comically crowded season each year, all that we can do is mutual respect.
Lots of people could learn exactly what NOT to do in this video. Snagged fish, fishing in the stream behind the creek, casting up past the boundary line to the hatchery, mixing eggs from fish that weren’t bled out properly or before the fish died with properly bled eggs, etc. minter creek is well known for the idiots that don’t fish like sportsman. Make sure you bring protective glasses for the flying leaf and hooks from all the snaggers. Well done video though.
Thank you, this location has been one of the few areas ive had opertunity to witness fishing spots in the fall and its nearly surreal with how many cars are parked up and down the road.
@@JohnsNorthwestAdventures I have heard of instances of rogue steelhead and sockeye being reported at the hatchery. Lately, pink salmon has been becoming more common at Minter.
That's very very common, especially if you're harvesting. If you can tell it's a keeper, you haul it to the bank. If it's not, you release it in the water without removing it. Sometimes the salmon is too dark or is decaying and it's noticed upon bringing it on the bank. From there it's pushed back out into the water. These are food fish with the intent of consuming them. They're at the end of their life cycle once they reach the creek and are not long for the world. The hatchery ensures that there are plenty of fish for every season and what the fisherman catch are what's left. It's a sustainable practice that helps provide food for those people who partake. I for one am someone who fishes this tributary and use those fish to feed my family.
Spectacular footage and solid research. Thanks.
Thank you
Love the Pacific Northwest! Amazing video! Would love to visit this area some time!
Outstanding video loved this 👌

Great drone shots/b-roll footage! Thanks for sharing John 👍🏻
Great video I like the history you added
Thank you, its amazing what can be forgotten. It still amazes me that there was a full size town originally here.
Minter, a snaggers paradise
Yeah if you want to go to jail. New state Federal survalence
@@marieross3440 you're right
Can you add to the description where you researched the history of Minter - sources/web sites/etc.? Thanks for the fun video!
I noticed the people who don't live here leave really nappy comments. I've lived here 5 decades. It's home 🏡

A personal favorite place of mine. It's where my profile picture is
I have been passing this spot since elementary school, hardly any changes
You see any old bottles out there?
i hadn't looked in depth enough to know for sure, its very possible.
@@JohnsNorthwestAdventures Love your videos, excellent work!
Ah sunbaked sand crusted Chum salmon, even tastier than sunbaked sandcrusted pink salmon
Steelhead run up minter?
i don't recall steelhead appearing at this creek, I've heard about steelhead appearing in Purdy.

Snagfest 2021
He’s John longing 😂
The desperation for a few "anglers" to snag spawned out dark fish is laughable and pathetic.
Ahh yes lets flop the fish in to the dirt thats excellent angler practice

can you call it fishing if your catching in hatchery
lol, true enough when little to no effort is needed to snag a fish in the area.
Call it harvesting
I guess if you’re looking to catch your own dog food
Please.. our fish aren't dog meat. Get a grip
If they're still chrome they smoke up really nicely.
