- Johnny Risko joined me for a day of steelheading in January when most rivers were still blown out. We fished high in the system to find the first steelhead hookup of 2024. Make sure to stick around for the outtakes (bloopers), we had a bunch of them!

Seems like every time I make the long drive to the Oregon coast to fish winter steelhead the rivers are blown out and flowing with mud from heavy rain. A fellow could drown from the rainfall just rolling the window down near the Trask or Nehalem. I’ve even seen fish standing on fence posts trying to catch their breath.
So, it is nice to sit here and couch surf in John Day …. I’ll be content to watch you fish while daydreaming about steelhead fishing next winter 2024/2025 (Lord willing).
Thank you for the excellent content, Tom
🤣🤣 One of the best comments in Rage Fishing history. Glad you enjoyed us goofballs trying to find some winter fish in that deluge. You have to be half mad to be Winter Steelheader.
“Risk your life to get a 5$ bobber back” - steelhead fishing 😂🐟
I do some sketchy stuff while steelhead fishing. 🤣 I was punished immediately after by losing the whole rig.
Hey there, I like the videos! By the way, my last video, I gave you a shout out when I was showing the viewers, the net system that you put up on one of your recent videos. Yes, I jumped on the bandwagon and tried it out, and I love it
Thanks! I’ll check it out. It took me some trial and error to get it right, but it works great for me. 🎣
@@RAGEFISHING my video drops tomorrow
OMG, fantastic blooper reel! I was laughing so hard my face hurt! 🤣 Nice to nail a fish right out of the gate. Hey, you tried to let John catch it!😅 It sure was pouring there for awhile! Holy smokes, you are almost to 4K Subs! Awesome! I see Brian at Automagic Adventures has added your net set up to his gear. Thanks for another stellar video!
@williamcooke6056 John’s a hoot to fish with, we’re heading out again today. Looks like we can expect good weather today for a change! 😁🎣☀️
Great video. You really captured the fun and excitement of sharing adventures with friends in the outdoors. Nice fish, too.
Thank you! John and I used to fish together quite a bit and hopefully he’s back to regular on the channel. We’re heading out today in fact! 🎣
Always a pleasure
Thank you!
Another great video Barry! Fishing small coastal streams can be a blast and can deliver really good fishing. They can be challenging to negotiate however with a lot of wading and bush wacking, but well worth the effort. The blooper outtakes were hilarious. Been there and done that.🤣
Thanks Corby! That’s a great river. I usually don’t have many screw ups, but this day was packed with them, so it was perfect for an outtakes reel. 😁
Love the color of the Oregon costal rivers. Loved the bloopers!
That’s one of my favorite places! 🎣 I probably could have made the outtake reel as long as the main video, it was one of those days. 😁
They aren’t that color right now lol
That's a great hole, fish on 😉
It’s a great stretch of river for sure. 👍🏻
Nice pic with the fish with no tail , you couldn’t even tell . A “a tail out.😅😂😁 “
Good observation! It certainly wasn’t my intent to hide it, but I sure did. 😁
Nice 👌
Thanks guys enjoy the content 👍
Awesome! Glad you’re enjoying it. We’re heading out again today! 🎣
Is the tail damage on that fish from escaping a bite by a predator like a bigger fish or a seal....or is it worn down from brushing ou gravel beds for spawning?
I’m not sure, but my guess is a seal. I’ve handled 100’s of steelhead and I’ve never seen that, so I doubt it’s from creating beds. Plus, this was a male and I believe the females make the beds for their eggs. Occasionally I catch steelhead that have significant wounds like this one, most likely from seals or other predators.
Thanks for the video! So, skeena vs tail out?? Who`s the winner for bead under bobber? I`ve been experimenting multiple hooks and want your opinion between the two.
I’m still trying the tailouts but the last fish I landed was on a Skeena. It was a hot fish too! I’m a few weeks out from releasing that video. The tailouts are heavier and seem to be sized about one off from the Skeenas, as in slightly larger. I’m still on the side of the Skeenas if I have to choose one. I also bought some of the new Gamakatsu bead hooks to try out, they are more than twice the cost though! And as many bead hooks as I lose, cost is an issue. My reason for liking the Skeena is how light they are for the size. I don’t want the weight / size of the hook to affect the natural drift of my bead. Stay tuned, I’m always tinkering. 😁
@@RAGEFISHING Thanks man, great info! I`d been using the Gamakatsu wide gap for the past couple of years but been noticing size 2 and up bends most of the time. So, quit using them and been experimenting Gama bead hook, Gama TGW octopus and Addicted advantage bead hook this season, and so far TGW is ahead of the game. I will definitely buy the skeena and tailout in various sizes. I will probably buy the net as well. Thanks again and looking forward to the new video!!
Wow…😂😂
Are you still bobber dogging that bead down those drifts with a regular slip float?
I use an AF-5 or 6 slip float and a Dave’s stick weight. I want the stick weight tapping the bottom causing the float to tip over, top pointing downstream. I wouldn’t call this a true bobber dog, where the float is acting like a tugboat dragging a weight a little slower downstream.
@@RAGEFISHING you wouldn’t fish a jig this way, though correct …,
@@Snowbellys nope, you don’t want a jig hitting bottom, it should be suspended at the fish’s eye level or slightly above.
