Nice video, I have a question: Have you ever tried freezing caviar for long-term storage? I gave it a try this year, but after slowly defrosting it, I noticed it had developed a strong fishy smell. I think this might be due to the fat in the caviar oxidizing. While it’s still edible, the smell makes it hard to enjoy, so I’m considering using it as bait instead. I’m not sure what I did wrong-I cured it almost the same way you did. Maybe I should have used a vacuum sealer during the freezing process. What do you think?

Being new to center pinning, but not new to fly fishing, (I've casted flys for more than 40 years,) including "drifting" rigs ("chuck n duck"). I am new to learning the hand sequence needed for casting a mono loaded center pin reel. It's no more difficult than learning to cast a fly line (lolol) The understanding of this reels function is paramount to success. Center pinning is "drift fishing" with a bobber! Not new to drifting or float fishing. Saying that as it may, float center pinning in its simplest explanation is "Free spool drifting" Not new or indicative of "fly fishing" only! But it is an extremely productive method for fishing a river (current) for Steelhead and other andromous fish. Open spooling can be achieved with most any (almost) spinning, bait casting or fly rod and reel combination. What is required is that a rig 2:10 can "give" line without tension... It's a presentation of a bait during a drift, suspended from a float, to create a "dead" drift . Or, in other words, a drift that matches the current speed. The "float" (indicator or bobber) depth is set, either by slip bobber or stationary bobber, 1 1/2 times the depth of the water on the main line, usually with split shot aligned in sequence by size largest up top to smallest down the leader, depending on current speed, with a bait attached to the end of the tippet or tapered leader. The premise of this fly reel adaptation, is to give a "dead" drift without the need to pick up line after each drift with a float, but to be able to reel-up copus amounts of line (usually mono) and then be able to "throw" the line off of the "open" center pinned reel the distance needed like a fly line without any false casts. Looking at a center pin reel, and you'll see one side of the reel seat is missing! This adaptation allows one to pull line off a spool without the reel interference or drag. Also, for not having to manage bunched fly lines on deck or gathered about the feet. It's a situation where the hand opposite the hand used to hold the rod, controls the line off of the reel during the "toss" The line then "free spools" for the length of the run. Reeled back quickly and "tossed" again, and again, and again! They call Musky, "the fish of ten thousand casts" Steelhead is a fish 9,999. Great Casts!

Hey since steelhead season is coming up since I am just under 16 and a resident of bc do I need to still buy a steelhead tag and for the freds derby it says I need to show that I either have a status card or a tag but if I am under 16 does that still apply

Queen gets taken away Bees:Meh

Are they safe to eat for human?

Spot on

Ammonia spike???

Great tutorial, thank you so much.

What is the one with the all over spots, cutthroat?

But how I find my queen in the starting?

Great video Petr! Happy 50th!!!

pretty late on this comment but is that the 11 foot LJ centerpin rod 8-17? curious if it is, wondering if it would it be responsible to use that rod for springs and steelhead. Just asking cause I have used some 8-17 rods and it takes me a while to land average sized springs. Thanks

That is so bad ass.

at 7:20 it almost looks like a pink lol

Great catch Petr! would you say there are still some coho or chum left in the vedder or is the run over?

best id video ive seen thanks for the easy explanation

Ive just came across your videos over the last couple weeks as this is my first year salmon fishing. I've learned a lot pretty quickly from being out there every day almost and videos such as yours and a few others. you seem like a legit dude, really nice guy, humble. Appreciate your videos man. Good luck with your channel and future vids! thx again.

nice i whent out last Friday got a cromer off the couch and going out again on mondaylol

Wowie Zowie!!!!

is this the vedder

Great video! I love that egg crushing behavior!

Queen: Abducted Bees: We will make a new one, it just takes a special diet

Best way to separate eggs from membrane, dump them into boiled water, kills the warms that occasionally get into the skein too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iX2tZXiNrLqdiq8si=7LQimR-2eMl2xYxk

Thank you very much for explaining the chemistry behind it as well.

I really enjoy the @outdoorcheflife recipe. I found his method of blanching and swirling with chopsticks to remove the membrane very quick and easy. Also gives me the highest yield.

gently using a whisk to separate eggs from sacks works nicely too

No way people throw away this delicious thing 😋

I am new to fly fishing. I am 12 and I am trying to find a few spots on the vedder that I can fly fish. Any advice?

Where abouts on the vedder is the spot 2:20 in?

I dont understand how their entire mouth transforms

Thanks Petr for your comments it is so important to preserve this world class fishery, your comment about netting makes a lot of sense and now I'm going to use a net. I hope you continue with your videos as its helpful for every one young and old.

When the water favors it, drifting the river on a raft or pontoon is a great way to search for those spread out November fish and even access spots that bank anglers can't reach as well.

I appreciate you bringing up the fact to not drag fish on the rocks. I've seen people go as far as kicking a fish out of the river. Infuriating to see

I'v been fishing the better part of my steelhead career in Ontario and other parts of Canada. Most BC steel headers continue to use the same setup as they would for salmon. Large # 1 /2 hooks , heavy leader line. Change up the presentation, by using much smaller hooks , with a more stealth presentation. The results will be rewarded.

The real problem here is that BC should require courses similar to CORE for hunting. When I was 13 year old, growing up in Europe, there was mandatory classes and test to get fishing license. I many cases it is ignorance but in many cases people are just starting and do what they see on youtube … saying that there are also very good educational videos out there.

Do you not peg your bead a few inches from the hook to help with cleaner more efficient hookups? New to bead fishing but thats what I keep seeing/reading about is pegging your bead a bit above the hook

I like how she doesn't sting you or is so gentle with you Shows how much she loves and adores You Im About to be a beekeeper and i can't wait to have the same thing !!💕🐝

Alder make a neicer fire for a catch and cook

Its proof that bees are a simulation

What’s your recommended hook size for chum?

Hey Petr thanks for the tips about the colour of the belly of the fish, quick question, how would you suggest to set your drag , how should it feel if you pulled the line out of the reel?

I kept a clean doe last weekend, because she was bleeding after i got the hook out. Would she have survived? I should't of watched this on break, now i wish i was fishing.

A TRUE queen prefers a real gold tiara with diamonds.....

I don't reel my line in when I make long drifts I hit the rim of the reel spinning the line on my reel and I can bring my line in 2 times faster than guys fishing with a spinning reel with 3 to 1 retrieve

where this in veeder?

Great vid Peter! Question for you. Ive been fishing the Vedder for 4 years and NEVER got a bobber down. I went out two weeks ago and used a jig. I caught at least 20 fish. I switched to bobber fishing because I was just getting so many fish on the jig. Once I switched back to bobber, the bite instantly died. A lot of guys say you won't see a bobber go down....not understandung that?? Any idea why no bite ever on the bobber fishing?? I've changed depth, presentation, big bead, small bead, roe etc.

Thank you for promoting proper fish handling! It's really nice to see you using your platform to educate others who may not know any better. We all need to respect our resources as anglers and outdoorsmen/ women. See you on the water!

Hi Peter, where did you buy your net?

nice jacket, where did you get it?

To me chum is the most valuable salmon. Their roes are the best among all species, the roe front one chum hen could give you $200 worth of caviar, dump them in boiled water, stir, eggs will be released from the skein, rinse under cold water until all membrane bits are washed away, marinade with your choice of flavor, jar them, freeze and enjoy any time of the year….due to chum season is later October and November, it’s possible to preserve them within freezing, I like the Japanese way - salt cure for 4 days ( one pound of salt per fish), then brine with cold water to remove some of the salt content, then hang outside air dry for at least 10 days, portion and vacuum seal leave them in fridge, when grilled on charcoal, taste better than fresh coho.
