FLOAT FISHING For Steelhead - IN Depth HOW TO! (Sliding & Fixed Setups)

Float fishing for steelhead is probably one of the most effective techniques for catching both resident river trout or steelhead in rivers, streams, and creeks around the world. Float fishing is an easy technique to learn, and with time on the water it's a fairly easy task to master! Float fishing for steelhead consists of your rod, reel, 30-50 pound braided line, 10-20 lb fluorocarbon or mono leader, your float of choice and last but not least, the offering to the steelhead! You can use bait, jigs, beads, blades, and more under a float to entice trout and steelhead to bite! In this video Marlin is going to cover how to set up a fixed float fishing setup and exactly how to get out on the water and use this float fishing technique. Jordan is going to cover a sliding float fishing setup. Both these steelhead techniques are insanely deadly on the river, and in our opinion every angler should have these tactics on the river with them every time they go fishing.

[@DanSaunders]

Might seem silly to post this, but thanks for saying something about cleaning up your tag ends. I've picked up so much line off the shore lines over the years, it's nice to hear someone in your position say something.

[@baileybyam]

[@twistedjigco.548]

[@upperleftcoastchelseafan7718]

Straight to the how-to, no unnecessary babble, super useful for a newbie. Heading out in the morning, maybe this time I'll actually get a fish!

[@FixItWithFishin]

[@happyshabbygames]

Caught my first steelhead yesterday thanks to this video! Used the Mustad Addicted float, fluorocarbon leader, and pink steelhead worm on a white jig head.

[@berntheorder6437]

[@jeffro5032]

@Marlin and Jordan........Thank you! That's coming from a local NW fisherman right in your neck of the woods. Learned a lot on this one. Hope to maybe throw some hooks with you guys one day.

[@skipdavis8964]

Awesome video and extremely helpful step by step. We fish the Lower/ Mouth of the Deschutes off 84 in Oregon every September for Steelhead/ Salmon and I am going to add this to my arsenal coming up this season. I do just fine with spinners but want some more options! Thanks again and I'll check out your website to get exactly what I need.

[@SlimJim666]

Awesome tips and really well presented. I appreciate how you guys deliver juicy chunks of info in quick succession without waffling on. Cheers from Australia.

[@tibbyslife6101]

Thanks so much for another great video! Love these tutorials! They explain everything and are so useful! Merry Christmas!

[@kingtut5923]

Really love those sliding bobbers

[@andrewgrudzinskas5778]

Merry Christmas to all my fellow addicts I had a great one. My wife and kids got me my first ever centerpin can't wait to catch some Christmas chrome

[@lcfawkes447]

yes its cool you guys teach how,i was confused in the other video with the trout monsters.pretty good.

[@toddknutson6317]

Love the tutorials. Marlin caught one on his tutorial. C’mon Jordan 🤣😂

[@ryanhearing6936]

Love the addicted floats! been using them exclusively for summers down here in southern Oregon. However, Wish they held up a little better. Crack, chip, and split with the quickness. I still use em but you definitely start losing buoyancy once that balsa starts absorbing water.

[@scalnation3069]

Could y'all do a updated drift fishing vid? With both soft and hard beads with pros and cons between em

[@albertodejesus6788]

Literally was a awesome video I learned a lot.. going to try this method in the Niagara Falls well close to it

[@rogue109]

Such as great amount of information! Thank you for this video, it was most helpful! Now if only I could find some of those floats online....

[@timmyd5144]

A little rice in your box trays helps keep the moisture from damaging your hook points. 👍 keep them coming

[@rattz6374]

Hey guys, just wanted to thank you for all the tutorials. You are all extremely talented and passionate and especially, respectful of nature. Not to mention, good presenters and speakers. Some speak too much, but thats ok. We can live with it ; D ...... ie.: giving tips not to leave bits of line around etc... I learn from you on a weekly basis. Keep it up. 2020 wasn't what any of us imagined, but whatever you’re doing, whoever you’re doing it with, happy holidays and tight lines. If it wasn't for this COVID, I probably wouldn't be ADDICTED! So there you go. Good things come to those who know where to look to look for, and you guys help me become better at it. I will take the liberty and speak for all 2020 steelhead noobs. Here’s to 2021. Cheers. PS: My first catch was a steelhead at the beginning of this summer and it was an immediate addiction. Since then I've caught all salmonoids possible in the Chicago lakefront. Struggling this winter. Nevertheless, excited for what's to come. Nuff said. Just super grateful for what you and the brand are doing. Peace

[@melvingerskowitz9072]

Great work gentleman! My hat is off to you for your professionalism and expertise! Great job managing the information in this and excellent on the water demonstrating! So many times I see young guys make these videos and everything is "holy @!!! dude, you see the size of the F----in' fish?!" That's just as disrespectful as it gets - to the art form and to the animals they're bragging about dominating. It's clear both of you care about the craft, and you maintain civility, respect and high standards of professionalism throughout. Well done!

[@connorschmahl2767]

Great video gents! Thank you for the tips

[@jasoncraig5321]

Thank you guys! I will be putting this info to good use this winter.

[@wildbryan2217]

A perfect day of fishing ....great vid boyz

[@FreshPwncakez]

Merry Christmas addicted boys! God bless you for bringing us this great content!

[@Tifishing2024]

Great video guys!!! Will definitely use this next time I hit the steelhead streams!! Tight lines!!!

[@franksh2023]

Merry Christmas guys always your fan learned a lot from you and Jordan. Love your videos.

[@craigstockton3103]

New to this and love the vids. Have you guys considered using the Shimano Baitrunner reels for this. I have used them for years and when you are drifting simply engage the baitrunner , rotate the handle until you get slight resistance and allow the float to pull line off and if needed manually help it. If you get bit the handle is in position to turn without slack and engage the drag.

[@mdsharifahmedkhan4455]

Awesome video, best float fishing guide in KZbin. I have watched a lot of videos but this was definitely the most helpful with real life demonstration. thank you @Addicted Fishing

Chasing big browns in TN tail waters on the clinch and caney fork. I just now realized I'm fishing like I'm fishing for steelhead.

[@robertespinoza2519]

Thanks for your video brothers is much appreciated.

[@straykittycat1683]

Awesome tutorial, thanks!

[@jeremylamovsky3669]

Here in the northeast Ohio area most bodies of water we are fishing are relatively small and we use almost strictly fixed floats. The only spot I've used slips are this spot where it's about a hundred yard, deep concrete wall we drift and in certain spots you've got brush and fallen tree branches hanging over the hole and casting a more compact rig makes it much easier. Also people seem to strictly use shot and different shot patterns. However I'm sure there are times that inline sinker would have it's day. I'm gonna start trying to better slow down my drift in some spots with faster water. Also, rarely are we using a particularly heavy rig, so flouro or mono mainline are preferred. Ive been running braid but I don't like how it casts light rigs. Only way I've gotten away with it is because of the relatively small streams and rivers we fish

[@chadandalicehervey738]

EPIC INTEL !!!!! THANKS ADDICTED.......IM ADDICTED.......SET OUT A SLIDE PACKAGE DEAL WHERE WE CAN GET THE WHOLE GAMBIT OF GEAR FOR 1 REASONABLE VOLUME PRICE AND IM IN.......or else I guess I go to the tackle shop.......make it easy...lifes hard enough..... worms ,weights,bobbers ,jig heads..etc.....PACKAGE_______Lets go!!!!

[@mdaley3102]

Great video, I really like the instruction. I’m more of a fly fisherman but I’m willing to try this to hopefully get a Steelhead. Any suggestions for the winter high/dirty water?

[@Nobody-c6g]

Great video. If you’re running deep water, say 20’ on the slide float for a very big River…can you run the stopper into the spool?

Someone should make a "Jordan out of context" video, two prime examples are " give it a little suck" and "especially when its wet" 😆🤣😆 but on a real note, this is quite a needed video, even people who are what you would call experts get knowledge from videos like these, thanks guys and keep it up!!
