    Great video, bud! Congrats on some great fish. A few tips when spey casting. Cast downstream at 45° angles. This will make for a more consistent swing and more tight line presentation. Point your feet in the direction you want the cast to go, and it will make your casting a lot easier. Hope these few tips help.

      Your not really Spey fishing more like nymphing with a Switch rod. Appears to be an effective technique and keeps your fly in the water longer. Nice job

    Don't really see an issue with the way you're spey casting for indicator fishing! If you're going to swing flies, different story. Nice fish my friend!

    Use to fish the Clearwater out of Lewiston ID. They use to have a Tournement for biggest Steelhead there. Crazy. !6lbs was the biggest Steelhead I ever caught on a fly rod. The longest journey from the ocean to a hatchery in Idaho for a steelhead.

    Great video, advise is to keep the fishes mouth in the water at all time. The survival rate decreases dramatically once you start pulling them out of the water. No hero shot needed to take a quick snapshot of it in the water for a reference. Be content that you got a chance to shake hands with a beautiful creature. Good luck out there. Enjoy the speedy journey.!

    Congratulations! You don't hook steelhead, they hook you. Even at 6-12 hours of fishing per-landed-fish on average. That's a lot of empty Go-Pro footage, and batteries!
    I'd have a hard time releasing that hatchery fish. Good eating, and a big hawg too!

    Great fish guys. And great video work too. Looked like scenes out of a movie like A River Runs Through It. Maybe you should update your thumbnail with you holding that last steelhead. What a thrill bringing that one in must have been.

    Flyfishing for Steelhead is a challenge. Years ago, I spent a month on the Babine, Stikeen, Kispiox, and Dean. Even with an abundance of fish, it was tough. Great video...

    I wish they would close this river. Fishing for summer runs in February on a spawning trib lacks some ethics. These fish are way more fun to chase in the fall on the big river.
