Early Winter Steelhead Broodstock Fishing | Addicted Life Ep. #21

Who's ready for some broodstock steelhead fishing?! With all the obstacles and adversity our steelhead populations face, hatcheries are a necessity to ensure a sustainable run of steelhead. Its apparent the best genetics possible for hatchery steelhead are the wild proponent hopefully being caught by the anglers. These fish are then taken to the hatchery to be integrated into the hatchery program. Oregon has been seeing great success with these programs as well as a lot of tribal rivers across Washington State. In this episode we're floating the river with Nick Popov looking for early wild winter steelhead to contribute to the broodstock program. Steelhead fishing with Cameron Black, Nick Popov, and Evan Lafky. Thanks for tuning in, be sure to tap that subscribe button. STAY ADDICTED!

My father in law and I watch Nick Popov bring in fish all Summer on a coastal river! Great to see him a part of broodstock program...he always finds fish and puts in long days.

[@AnthonyRubeoOutdoors]

A buddy of mine put a 16lb wild in the tank.

[@jbutchben]

From the horn, I've decided the LEGEND cannot hide.

[@austinsonger388]

Gentleman where do I start. Thanks for sharing all you share. It got a boy back out and fishing for steelhead! I have yet to catch one. But I have been on the chase now for about two weeks every day after work and weekends! Locked in on plenty of salmon this year thanks to you guys!!! I grew up hunting and fishing. Lakes and rivers in Washington. I never was taught how to properly fish for salmon or steelhead. Short story long. I'm 31 I have 3 kids and I work my ass off. I am so happy that I finally am back out on the water trying at these beautiful fish of a thousand casts. I owe it to you guys and your channel. I can now take the skills your sharing and teaching and teach them to my children. Man how good it feels. Now I just gotta save up and get some new gear to be more efficient cause my old clapped out stuff is a pain. But that's all good I'm fishing. I just hope and pray some day I can give back the way you guys are. God bless u all and thanks a shit load!!

[@bulloo7]

Thanks for the video never heard of this program. Very educational!

[@dakotazimmerman4638]

Great episode salmon and steelhead ones are the best, Salmon fishing that river is fun, Hope to see more on winter steelhead,

[@jeffdrale2239]

Funny how you fish all week for hatchery fish and catch wilds, then you aim for wilds and catch hatchery! That was one nice hatchery though!

[@AddictedFishing]

Hahaha, exactly!

[@AnthonyRubeoOutdoors]

I know the ODFW office y’all are at. That’s pretty mellow for that trailer launch. That’s the River I spend 98% of my time on I learned to fish salmon and steelhead on that river. If that was the 28th I caught one that day hatchery fish 13lbs. I know that river like the back of my hand. I’ve been pushing Peel The Reel since day one I talked with him on KZbin before he had a Facebook.

[@bigkemna87]

Just started watching now so I am commenting without watching first....I'm so stoked to see some time on the coast!

[@erikhomer6974]

Nice fish. Awesome to see you guys helping the broodstock

[@lukel6198]

[@RJTrailcam]

Wonderful video. Have fished there many times and helped add a couple of fish to the broodstock program with the guide I fish with. It was nice to see a river you are familiar with.

[@fathersaid]

Amazing how you guys are out for a wild, and of course get a hatchery fish. Nice to see the program starting to work on that river. Keep up the great videos!

[@zebthielbar4602]

I live in Washington and ON a use to be good steelhead river! I wish we could do a brood stock program! The fish are just non-existent now! I'm yet to catch my first Chrome plated Steelhead! Tight lines folks!

[@zebthielbar4602]

Update! Caught my first steelhead today! Made my day for sure!

[@danabowen5491]

Really enjoyed the episode Fellas! Great fish and I really hope folks watch how the fish wasn’t “horsed” but rather you fought it until she tired out. GREAT WORK!

[@danielhuerta4948]
