  • Hey everyone, back from a little break from making videos. Here's one from an adventure that was very special to me just a month ago! My buddy Devin from ‪@northstarpro.2730‬ was super generous and invited me out to come steelhead fishing with him. We spent 3 days fighting the rain and less-than-ideal conditions in our hunt for steelhead and came out very successful in my mind. These fish were incredible and showed it in their fights and acrobatics. I hope everyone's spring has gone really well and thanks a bunch for watching!

    If I had a quarter for every time I said "dude" in this video, I might be able to afford another trip back up to AK next spring. Thanks for watching!

    My wife and I are looking at an Alaskan cruise next August 2024. One of the excursions from Sitka is a day fly fishing in the Tongass National Forest.
    I currently live on the east coast of Canada and have caught some atlantic salmon and steelhead (we call rainbow trout). Watching your guys adventure puts butterflies in my stomach, just the beauty alone is enough. I can’t wait and it’s still over a year away

      @FlyAddict_Fishing  Рік тому

      You are going to have an absolutely fantastic time. It is such a special and unique place. It really changed my perspective on fishing as a whole. Enjoy!! And I am very jealous of your Atlantic Salmon haha!! That seems like an absolute blast!

      @@FlyAddict_Fishing wish I could share pictures but if you ever get a chance the Miramichi river in New Brunswick Canada is one of Canada’s best Atlantic Salmon rivers. Sadly it’s highly restricted to guides, and a lot of trolling off the back of a canoe. I hooked 6 in 3 hours and what a fight. Cape Breton, Bras Dor lakes are famous for huge Rainbow trout also. If you’re ever in eastern canada please give me a shout and I’ll join you, there DUDE!!! Lolol

    Great video. I have been waiting for someone to make a decent video of my home waters. There is still a ton of streams left for you to explore on the island and even more remote boat in only streams that would blow your mind. If you make it back up this way, give me a shout if you want to see something different or want to try some of the insane saltwater action we have up here. Keep up the great work. I have enjoyed all your videos.

      Thank you very much! I know haha!! I was road bound this trip, but knowing the sheer number of steelhead streams in that area is absolutely mind boggling and I'm sure people like you have such a great understanding of them and the hard to reach ones. I'm very jealous you get to live in such a special place haha! I also really appreciate the offer and will definitely keep that in mind!!

    In 1978 I started my guiding fishing & Hunting then in 1989 I moved to Alaska to advance my guide services working the Kenai then the Susitna & Yentna drainages then moved over to Glennallen to work the Gulkana R & Klutina R & Copper River.
    When covid came and the travel bans put me out of business, and I got stranded in Oregon with no way to get home to Alaska then went bankrupt.
    In the fall of 2019, I left Alaska with jet boat to do a rebuild on it in my Oregon shop and to attend the trade shows to get new clients for summer in Alaska of 2020 but that never happened because of covid.
    I worked Ketchikan in 2013 and 2014 with it was the worst Salmon fishing in Alaska I had very seen.
    The evil non-Resident commercial fishing had destroyed the Salmon runs where the only salmon left would be hanging around the fish hatchery in Ketchikan.
    I wish I could have gone to investigate the steelhead fishing when I lived in Ketchikan.
    With the country set to be destroyed by communism from the communist democrats I don't know if I will ever get to go back to Alaska because the way it is now in the US I am thinking to move back to Romania where I have years of living and restarting the Atlantic salmon guiding in Ireland and try the Baltics for Atlantic salmon also.
