- Fly fishing for King Salmon!
Today we are fishing the Oregon Coast for Chinook salmon with fly rods. What a blast! We caught around 15 Salmon, ranging from 5lbs to 30lbs. The flies used were leeches, clouser minnows, comets, zonkers, shrimp patterns, and a few other patterns. The bite was on in the morning, slowed down during the middle of the day, and heated up as the sun set. We fished a single river in this video but multiple in the whole trip. The Northern California coast and Southern Oregon Coast are home to many good salmon rivers, harboring chinook, coho, steelhead, and coastal cutthroat trout. To name a few, there is the Smith River, Klamath River, Chetco River, Rogue River, Pistol River, Elk River, Sixes River, Coquille River, Coos River, Millicoma River, Umpqua River, Suislaw River and many more in between.
A few notes:
My dad caught and bonked a chinook before we got to the spot, that’s why there is a fish already on the bank :)
The only wild fish we kept was the largest, about 30lbs. It was my buddy’s first salmon on the fly so he decided to keep it, otherwise we’d probably not be keeping such an amazing fish. The other fish we kept were all hatchery fish.
A few of the Rod/Reels used:
Pflueger Medalist
Hardy Perfect
Scientific Anglers System 8
Maxcatch Premier
Maxcatch Extreme

Thanks for watching!! Steelhead video coming soon...
Thanks for watching!!! More videos on the way...
Do you guide?
Thinking about it
Can you share the exact location please? Thank you
@@austinwen7484 do you really think I would? That’s not what fishing is about. No shortcuts, go explore and learn how to find the fish! It’s much more rewarding once you do✌️
Gimme more Videos😎.
It's a real nice Spot.
Greetings from Northern Germany(Hamburg)
30lb king on a fly. simply epic. This is the kind of material for world class T.V shows
As native Oregon boy, this is like right at home! You guys embody the true soirit of old Northwest.
Subscribed from Idaho! Love your attitudes and respect for the fish. I dig old Medalist reels, so that was amazing for me to see.
Too legit to quit , killer underwater shots, big fish Mitchell is on fire A+
Keep up the good work. Some beauties. No better way to spend some time with a good friend. I spend my summers crushing salmon and bottom fish on vancouver island and live for it
Beautiful video, great job guys! I love that river also. I can not count the times people ask me where I caught it.
Freaking A right on guys. I freaking miss these days, unfortunately my local river in Northern Cal have plummeted so harsh over the past 15 years. With too many people taking the rivers water, drought and the impact of years of vineyards, legally we can’t even target my home waters Chinook. So sad man, not to say that I don’t travel farther north and smack the Nooks, but watching you guys here as kids reminds me of what me and buddy’s, or me and my pops could do daily in a 20 minute drive to the local spot. Anyways keep it going boys, I not only love salmon and steelhead, I literally build my life around them. Looks as if you guys are on your way as well.
Yeah it is sad how the feather went to crap thank DWR . But as for the American they had hella fish return last year 2023 in fact there was still spawning chinook until march. And I have to say since the revitalization of the spawning grounds and the enhancements they added the steelhead return was impressive first time seeing g fish equal to those in size of the smith and mad
Love when they're chrome! Nice and fresh still
Great work! Keep it going.... living vicariously through you guys....
You guys rock!! I grew up in Humboldt county doing the same things you guys do!! Keep crushing it.
Your editing is on point. I only watched less than a minute before I subscribed. Fish on!
Thanking the fish for a good fight, then release. Class!
They killed a huge wild one, though. Stupid.
@@brookmelee5983 aloud to harvest one a day on that river
Nice work!👍🏼
Holy shit those fish are huge! Great job dude
Incredible video! Awesome fish, awesome spot, and I love how you guys conduct yourselves. Have some fun this year too!
CINEMATICS AMAZING
Awesome vid, this is some amazing content, dope vibes bros!
Bro, I'm watching this a second time!!
Love it!!
Sashimi the chromes!
💛💚🌲💚💛
You bet we ate some raw!! Grilled was amazing too. I still have so much frozen and I’ve already given so much away.. what a resource we have here
@@humboldtfishing7328 Oregon justs tastes better! 😂🌲
Absolutely nothing like catching your own sushi! 🍣
@@humboldtfishing7328 check out "ikejime" style killing for fish at least as an experiment.🗡️
@@rockytalkndawoods3057 I have heard of it and seen how it’s done, I got try it soon. Maybe in the next video? We will see
That was pretty awesome fishing! Nice job!
Highly respectable fishing here, nice edits! Keep em comin!!!
Making 2 videos right now
Hell yeah bro killing it. I haven’t seen you since mms keep up the good work 💪
Insanely fire
Nice work!
Guys, what a great time you had! I am from Poland and thinking about visiting Oregon for fly fishing. What's the best time you'd recommend for targeting chinook and steelhead? Thanks
Nice catch bro
sweet video
Like the vintage fly reel! I need to break mine out
That was awesome!
Is this near Florence? Awesome looking fish 💯 I know I few good spots off the grid near there. Love the content! Keep it up.
Love those old Pflueger Medalist reels you’re using. I fish with them as well.
Ol’ reliable!
Love your content! You should make a video talking about the different kinds of tackle you use for different fish (freshwater/saltwater)
Awesome video. Quick question though, as I am new to the sport. The fish that Mitchell caught looked like it had a fully grown adipose fin, which I thought was the indicator for wild fish vs. hatchery fish which have clipped adipose fins? Is that true, or am I completely missing something?
You can keep wild chinook in this river. It was his decision to take it - personally I would have released this fish but it was his first salmon on the fly and and he wanted to do so..
Amazing video with great salmon. Can I ask what month you guys were fishing? I will be the first time over in Oregon this year from Europe.
This is incredible! Thank you! For once a good fishing video. Wanted to get your advice. We’re heading out to the Smith (north and south fork) later in the month. Bringing 8wt fly rod (nxt) with floating line. Still haven’t picked out flies, but thinking streamers. Do you think this kind of outfit / location would work for salmon & steelhead? Appreciate any tips from the locals. Thanks!
This is actually so legit!! Can you catch these mid June?? I’m going to be in the area and looking for a guide!!
love that spot!
What is a ballpark hatchery return to this river? I've got a bunch of rivers I want to try targeting in Washington, but I know it is very hard to catch Kings on the fly. You made it look easy!
Do you always wanna use fast sink tips?
Hell ya
That was some great footage . Those chinooks were beautiful . Do you think fly fishing for salmon could be extremely effective on most small rivers?
With proper conditions yes
This was so fun to watch! Keep up the great videos! I just got my fishing licence,. I'm looking forward to try to catch some salmon. How come the fish just stop moving when you are about to take them out? I thought they would flop around more
People think you have to wrestle the fish onto shore and manhandle them but honestly it’s super easy to grab their tail while they are still in the water. They seem to do docile for a second which makes it super easy
Love that video you guys killed it. I know you probably won't tell me but what river are you guys fishing? Really want to get out there I live right on the border of Oregon and California. Really would like to check that River out thanks..
i knew them chinnook bite flies not just steelhead im been trying ti get a coho or chinnook on one at the coast
What are you running for line?
Yo this is random but did I see you at baker yesterday?
You should post again
what river was this? also werte do you park to get here. were these salmon spring or fall chinooks
Sac river park at goodwill
How do I tip my floating line with sink tip? Do they make those? Reccomend any cheap sinking tip?
Dope!
A+ man
Hey man are you still in eureka? I’m heading there this weekend and was wondering if you’d wanna fish with a viewer? Never fished there before and would love to learn some spots and tricks.
I’m in Alaska right now sorry man
@@humboldtfishing7328 darn maybe another time. Thanks for the reply and keep up the great content!
@@cooldudeman111 of course man and yeah hit me on @humboldtfishing Instagram and we can fish some other time probably
@@humboldtfishing7328 followed you and sent you a DM. My username is christheangler
Awesome! How recent did you guys shoot this video?
Few months ago, it’s been delayed since I was editing other videos. Steelhead video coming soon then more rockfish and lingcod vids 👍
Whats the name of this is river. Moving out to Oregon soon and looking for a nice river to slay the salmon
What month was that?
What flies did you use and rod here ? Thanks
LETS GO!!!!
Where is the spot at?
Just slaying dimer springs on single handers in slack water savage shit
I got a fly rod 8 weight trying to figure out what flys to use for fall chinook in tide water and rivers I'm all new to it do any of yall have any tips?
It’s all about timing. These fish stage in the lowest pools of the rivers before and during the first few rains of the season. Sink tip with clouser minnow, comet, or leech will always catch fish. Text me on @humboldtfishing Instagram for any other questions
Nice work but you should release the wild ones.
Agreed. The only wild fish kept was the biggest one, it was my friend’s first salmon ever and with a fight like that, I’d say he earned it. But you’re right, the wild fish should be preserved and the hatchery fish are there for us to keep. ✌️
@@humboldtfishing7328 Beautiful fish. Keep up the good work.
Are you still making videos or are you done?
I’m still going just posted one
Is that the Chetco river?
It is not. And if it was I wouldn’t be telling people in the comments 👍
is this near the columbia?
Probably not close to the columbia river. Much more south.
Hey Bro, can you tell me the exact location? Thank you
Trask ?
Where is that at
Smoke some of that salmon
It's better for the fishery to let the really big wild fish go, and keep the hatcheries. Just think of that monsters babies swimming back up the river in a few years, if you had let it go of course.
1 wild was kept read caption thanks for the concern
100 percent correct
I'm right on this river for work drop me a pin lol jk
