    Growing up doing this kinda of stuff it’s cool to see a guy who has influenced the sport so much, be a student of the sport.

    Mike that was awesome! I love the old coach keeping you in tacked with your excitement. That's what makes you Mike. Love it.
    Best is you getting on your knees like your on the boat when you fight the fish. Make more steelhead vids Mike.

    Love ya mike... big fan! Love to see ya fishing the SR especially up in altmar were the men fish. A dude with your means could be fishing the DSR ( DOUGLASTON SALMON RUN ) but you keep it reel. You gotta get up there during the craziness that is the salmon river salmon run...its insane but something a lunatic like you would love! My wife , son and i go every year and count the days till were back in the river...hope to see ya up there one day! May your feet stay dry and your lines tight!

    Hell yes, welcome to my world. There’s so many things to land a fish in that river and don’t worry usually it’s one fish for every four hook ups after he ripped the line for 15 minutes, the hook hole gets pretty big, normally falls right out at your feet. Hopefully he’s in the net or on land when that happens some days you can’t land them because of how they feel when you feel that from the steelhead and salmon, you’ll be hooked for life

    When I was a young man we used to drive the shoreline of Lake Ontario and hit all the creeks that fed the lake. After we fished this area we would hit them all on the way home. Good times.

  • @shad3128
    @shad3128 10 місяців тому

    Once you hook up on a steelhead on the swing or downstream, walk and keep on walkin... once they gain down yards theyre impossible 😅 always easier to net them if you get below and let the current push em in the net and have your drag looser. you guys must have had a good fly setup because you had good action. Great job hookin up!

    • @shad3128
      @shad3128 10 місяців тому

      Trout basics on the fly are not to let the fish get below you. Always get below the fish and keep some side pressure and get low on the scoop. This was taught back in books from the Catskill and Adirondack fly fishing. If you stay still and just horse them in you are lucky, have really strong tippet and leader for much larger fish, or just don't wanna walk and take pressure off the fish which is good for them for healthy release anyway.
