Plugging For Wild Rainbows (Yakima River)

[@Griz5340]

So great to see a well respected outdoor angler like Bill Herzog still get excited about catching wild rainbow trout. Great action. Thank Justin.

[@jarodhigginbotham398]

We had a blast filming this...great job Justin!

[@jasoncouch9825]

Its because of your help I learn to fish salmon and steelhead Jarrod! Thanks for teaching an old dog new tricks! Fishing is all I do now besides work (so I can afford to go fishing). I can only imagine how many souls you have saved through teaching us to successfully fish! God bless you my friend

[@jarodhigginbotham398]

Thank you my friend, I love sharing with others my man. Fishing is just something that has always been different for me and now I have a platform I can share my knowledge, love and passion for a sport that has been part of my life as far back as I can remember. Take care my friend and thank you for the kind words!

[@spamiamblazin]

Agreed, Jarrod is a great teacher and person.

[@BlakeMarshallPiscesOutdoors]

Definitely will try this technique. Beautiful river there!

[@briceautry9120]

Great to see The General in action! Great tips on the seams and prepping for the honey pot!

[@aaronwhitefoot]

The amount of data that Jarod spits out during one episode is on point.

[@jarodhigginbotham398]

Thanks bro I love to share what I have learned my man

[@WillyFish]

There's just something about the plug bite that's so epic!!!

[@TonyPhillips-jy7ev]

Love them old school reels work the best left hand though

[@FishingTheOdds]

Loved the video! 2 great guys right there!

[@johnjones6146]

Oh BTW great tip on lowering the rods for the hook set. I run Sidewinder Side Planners w/ K14 Lemon Heads in Alaska for Kings and Silvers. This year i'll lower my profile on the rods and see if we get better hook sets

[@osonasty2016]

These videos with uncle Willie should be poppin more views than any addicted video

[@kcp7042]

According to the Yakama nation, the Yakima river basin used to have hundreds of thousands of salmon (chinook, coho, and sockeye) and steelhead returning every year. I wish everyone would slow down with the snake river battle and try to increase the returns to the Yakima river basin. Could you imagine Bill, a salmon and steelhead season on the yak, naches, bumping rivers?!

[@aidanwoods212]

Do you actually think the Yakima goes into the snake?😂😂😂

[@jimsomerville3924]

@@aidanwoods212 I don't think Kc alluded to Yakima being a trib of Snake.

[@anothersomebody8195]

@@aidanwoods212 I didn't read that in what he said at all 😋 It sucks living in yakima and knowing some of the best fish are being caught in... Tim Ponds 🤦‍♂️ All these green new deal twits don't give a crap about the dams and wildlife cause their homes are in floodzones

[@kcp7042]

@@jimsomerville3924 thank you for understanding what i was talking about. I was born, raised, and I live in Yakima. I know where the Yakima river basin flows from and to. I am saying that we shouldn’t be putting all of our eggs into the “breach the snake river dams” basket. We should put some into the Yakima river basin salmon recovery basket as well.

[@cocunutcrab4797]

I’ve been following the hatchery’s and projects to reintroduce salmon back to the Yakima. It’s cool to see the expansion of the seasons and population of these salmon.

[@anothersomebody8195]

great video! I read Bills steel heading book back in my college days. he's a legend. I would love if you could get bill and brian chan together for a video. Do a conventional versus fly rod competition.

[@AndrewLakey]

Great video, I am very interested in the cooking setup in the boat. Do you have any more pictures or info on it?

[@jarodhigginbotham398]

Just a simple burner/heater my man with an old frying pan. I have had that thing for years, I believe I bought it at Bi-Mart, it is a coleman.

[@marcmarcantonio]

Good show, my friends!

[@jarodhigginbotham398]

Thanks buddy

[@garyroenicke2102]

Well just goes to show how you don’t always need scent. Here in N California we don’t use scent at all and do just fantastic on Salmon, Both Kokanee and Kings. Nice video, sure looked fun

[@raymondfox8550]

Guy's love it Old School,, 👍👊, 65, yr's old ,,🙏🤫🦊

[@kcp7042]

Fantastic video! Love those rods, I have it in a spinning rod set. Jarod, what kind of glasses are those?

[@jarodhigginbotham398]

Costa Del Mar …Mag Bay!

[@johnjones6146]

what was that Plug guys name Bob Tullman ? Can't find any material on the net. Did he wright any books?

[@jarodhigginbotham398]

Bob Toman, he has a bunch of videos that came out but I am not sure about books.

[@ryanparhaniemi]

Who can I buy a guided trip to plug fish the Yakama

[@kakal8337]

Delightfully fun...

[@philipdennis-rh7uj]

Were those the old Lamiglass S series?

[@anthonycorkill3705]

I sure miss that river 😕

[@spencerb891]

Which bantam is that? I have an old bantam 100ex but it’s not direct drive like these (the handle doesn’t spin in reverse)

[@fishmojo865]

Looks like the classic 201SG Bantam.

[@roy21809]

is that a guide service, i might be interested if it was.

[@AnglerWestTV]

Sorry, they aren't guides.

[@bradleywarwick399]

I see there using direct drive reels and old poles. What is the set up? I use direct reels too. Got them from my grandfather. Very tough to get a fish in. Might need a better rod . Thinking glass rods from eagle claw but would like to know the rod there using.

[@anothersomebody8195]

the noted the reel in the video. if you're looking for a soft rod, go to a sportsman show and check out the walleye rods.

[@anothersomebody8195]

you related to wanda?

[@kevinsmallwood1718]

Been using Double duo snaps for 30 years! Great way to give action on plugs...

[@Valco458]

Love going “Old School” looks like Shimano 201 & “S” glass rods .

[@bradleywarwick399]

I was wondering what rods were they using?

[@crazypaul3997]

Looks like the yellow lamiglas kokanee rods

[@danielbravo5441]

S glass lami blanks. Not the Kokanee rods

[@jasoncouch9825]

Train bite baby!

[@Plandonb]

Crawdad colors

[@jaywebguy]

I'm all for catch n release, but I would have probably kept a couple. One of my favorite fish to eat.....

[@JLM_Fishing]

It’s only catch and release in this section of the river!
