1st Steelhead Of The New Year (Epic Net Fail)

Winter steelhead season is finally here, and I hit the river solo for a cold, rainy float in search of my first fish of the year. The bite was tough, but after putting in the work, I finally hooked into a beautiful winter steelhead! Everything was going smoothly-until an epic net fail nearly cost me the fish. Watch as I scramble to land this chrome beauty and kick off the season in the best (and most chaotic) way possible!
Thanks for watching and keep swingin.

Have you ever miss netted a fish before ???

[@williamcooke6056]

Everyone has. Netting alone while fighting a steelie from a boat, no less, is challenging to begin with. Bottom line is you captured it! Well done!

[@Tunaaatv]

A good angler is adaptive, I’d say you fished the perfect rod for each spot!

[@riverrightoutdoors]

You are absolutely right! Gotta adapt to the conditions to make it happen. 🙌🙌🙌

[@OregonFishingAdventures]

also kuddos to use for keeping your options diversified as far as running flies and gear its always good to have more tools in the arsenal, that fish put up a good fight

[@riverrightoutdoors]

Absolutely, you’ve got to be prepared for anything on the river.

[@duckpursuitchannel]

Great day buddy!!

[@riverrightoutdoors]

Yes it was!

[@nathancavanaugh8489]

Nice work, always a good challenge getting it done solo!!!

[@riverrightoutdoors]

Thanks! It’s definitely a lot easier with a buddy.

[@pnwchromecatchers]

Nice work dude! No rod holder needed! 😂

[@riverrightoutdoors]

You got that right! 😂

[@HVSKYBOI]

If you ever need a shuttle buddy and wanna help a guy on his Spey cast let me know 😅. But great video dude 👏. Pulling plugs is an art itself.

[@riverrightoutdoors]

I appreciate it. I could always use a shuttle buddy and help with my cast, I’m always learning.

[@williamblair2934]

Not a snob . Glad you caught a fish. I have yet to get one. Been just swinging. Going to mix it up with an indicator and bead on my 7 wt switch rod . Patient man I am but it is nice to get a boost of a fish😁

[@riverrightoutdoors]

It is a great feeling, congrats on getting out there, I hope you land some soon. Keep swinging it will pay off. I’m going to start dedicating swing only trips here soon. The only way to get one on the swing is to keep swinging . Good luck and let me know if you hook up .

[@williamblair2934]

@ I will. Thanks

[@sharonnoble5356]

😮wow!

[@riverrightoutdoors]

You know it.

[@OregonFishingAdventures]

are u in southern oregon? Also great video man really enjoyed watching it maybe one day we will have to get together and u can teach me more about swinging flies i just got a single hander 8wt i use with a SA anadro indicator line ive considered getting a second spool and line for it for a heavier shooting line or the OPST commando head

[@riverrightoutdoors]

Sounds good man . I’m up in the Portland area, thanks for the kind words . There’s nothing like hooking one on the swing. It definitely takes time me and patience. Good luck out there.

[@OregonFishingAdventures]

@riverrightoutdoors oh ok gotcha yeah I have only took the fly rod out twice this season cuz I've been fishing some new rods I got

[@cornfed6105]

Why do all steelhead drift boat guides have the same mustache? Just an observation...

[@riverrightoutdoors]

I’m not sure maybe it’s tradition like firefighters have mustaches.
