I have spent a lot of hours with Steve on different rivers up there and he is always super fun to fish with. I’ve personally got my biggest steelhead and walleye with Steve. Not just a good guide but a good guy to just hang with. If you are up that way and looking for a guide he is the man for sure.
Jacks are also very important for genetic diversity. Coho adults are 3 years old, but coho jacks are 2 years old. Without jacks, there would be little to no gene flow between different cohorts of coho. They’d be reproductively isolated by run year and less genetically diverse as a consequence
Drawback of the quick release flashers is that if you get hit, but don't hook up, you might pop that release and have to reel in and reset, vs. continuing fishing and letting that fish (or one of its buddies) have another shot at it.
@AnglerWestTV that's what I was thinking! I thought you may have did something similar once wasn't sure. I think I have watched every episode to present since before UA-cam had came out and have several of them recorded to vhs somewhere lol
Hello , is there anyway you could do a video on how to know how much line to let out while trolling with lead to get the depth where the fishfinder is showing the salmon to be? Like if the fishfinder is showing fish at 20ft and your trolling 2.1 with 65 braided line and 20oz lead how much would you let out? Im not good with math and this all is very confusing to me lol. Thank you for any help!!
I'm from California and have fished with Steve on a few occasions and it is always a great time. He is a great guide!!

The videos are so helpful. I am learning so much watching your videos. Thank you
That's great. Thanks for the feedback.
Nice fish and great video!!!
Thanks 👍
What an insightful comment around the 7 minute mark about “why are there Jacks?” Great takeaway - and another great vid from Angler West
