"Swinging for steelhead" - Fly Fishing for coastal Steelhead by Todd Moen

Todd Moen's "Run" series is the most amazing compilation of steelhead fly fishing short films ever made. Spring Run, the third in the series, is the most engaging of the series yet. The set for the remote river float trip adventure is a gorgeous coastal rain forest setting, bright green moss, towering spruce trees, blooming flowers emerging into a gorgeous estuary and beach. This video does a great job of capturing the spirit and essence of why we fly fish for steelhead. The stunning shots make you feel as though you are there in the rain, standing waist deep in the cold Spring river. Complete with an amazing, action packed segment of feisty, chrome-bright, fresh from the salt steelhead. This is as close as you can get to really getting out there and working hard for these magnificent and elusive wild fish.

Nobody can come close to matching the artfulness of a Todd Moen film. Nobody.

[@SteelyFisher]

Thanks Todd for keeping us inspired during these tough times while were waiting for our rivers to come back into shape again and spring is just around the corner! Been a super tough year up here on the OP and just the hope of some strong wild fish grabbing our presentations is what we all dream and hope for! Thanks for capturing what it's all about. Cheers, Chuck

Beautiful video Fished the coastals for over 25 yrs , Northern California to Alaska ... 80's thru to 2009 will start it up again someday

[@StormLaker]

Love this video and the Fall Run video. A lot of fishing videos only show you the angler at the location. You guys took the time to show how much WORK it takes just to get to the fish, then how hard you had to work just to get that one fish. Angling under those conditions in a location that gets more rain than anywhere else in the lower 48 provides its own set of challenges for sure!

[@whiteykauai]

Nice, makes me want to do the 2 handed Spade technique. Like how you guys kept fish in the water. Well done!!!

[@shaunkirby273]

Grew up on Vancouver Island British Columbia, fishing steelhead from the mid 70s . This video totally captures the essence and experience a day on the river. Awesome video thank you!! PS: subscribed 👍

[@thevintagefaith2870]

Best line was ... fine line between knowing and wanting. That line actually was perfect for me to hear, because the context before about knowledge making confident belief... epic. Very profound. Trouble in my life right now is surrounding that very predicament. Sorry if the haters didn’t get it, but I do.

[@joed.2283]

Very nice!

[@evanburgess2912]

this is a really well done video

[@thefishfin-atic7106]

Spectacular video!!! Wow!!! From a fisherman's point of view it is an excellent source of inspiration, and from an artistic point of view....wow....just wow - what an incredible work of art you have presented us with here!! Amazing footage of rain forest and moss covered ancient trees amid jade colored waters, and those slow shots of silver steelies jumping and thrashing out of the water.....incredible!!! I am so jealous :) thanks for this video!!!! I know first hand how difficult it is to set up cameras and drones, and time that perfect cast or hook set...you make it look effortless!!!! Great, GREAT work!!!!

[@davidarno2196]

belle vidéo,la nature est magnifique!

[@joseluisbergallo4752]

Buenísimo las filmaciones y lo mejor de la pesca deportiva

[@elkhunterbill5087]

Todd, your films capture the pashion we all have for the sport of fly fishing. What sets your films apart for me though, Mis your ability to capture that pashion on video and then intertwine the beauty of those places while telling the story of your subjects in a way your viewers completely relate to. Clearly the standard your peers try to emulate. Really good stuff. Keep telling story of us! Best regards.

[@notpopebuthope]

CONGRATULATION! OUTSTANDING VIDEO! ... perfectly made ... different camera angles, amazing slomo, touching music, great fish, interesting gear, a story behind ... and for me as a viewer - always that exciting prickling moments! ... Cheers!

[@CatchMagazine]

notpopebuthope Thanks again for the great comments! I really appreciate the support!

It's pretty good hey. Grabs your attention pretty quick

[@IvoMarcos1]

Excelente! com uma bela fotografia, evidencia o fly.

[@huntzz21]

I've fished all over the US and many places around the world as well. I've never really had much of a desire to fish for steelhead...until now. That video is fantastic. The camera work and editing is absolutely outstanding! The level of quality in this video sets a very high bar for anyone else in the industry. Exceptional work!!!

[@holdemhigh7738]

huntzz21 how could you fish all over the world and not be interested in steelhead? I truly don't understand!

[@holdemhigh7738]

huntzz21 I see that was a year ago, have you done any steelhead fishing yet?

[@huntzz21]

Easy, I was a hard core big game hunter and just fished for something to do in-between hunts. These days I'm more interested in fishing, and I'd be all over steelhead fishing if I were in an area that offered it.

[@holdemhigh7738]

That makes since. . Im only 8 miles from great steelhead fishing and a 1/2 mile from ponds and rivers, I can fish all year around for the most part. I hunt when the fishing is slow lol, just not big game mostly birds.

[@huntzz21]

A guy just enjoys what he has around him. There are no steelhead in Montana. So I'm a little envious that you have it so close, but then again Montana has just about everything else an outdoors fanatic could like. So I really can't complain.

Very good guys....!

Muy bueno Armando eso es naturalezA

[@Charactermatters650]

NRS Hydro skin gloves - with the three finger slits/velcro back on each hand for fishing - they work, like most NRS stuff I have bought

[@thomaswright5492]

Welcome to my youth viewers. And my grandfather said there were times on the Hoh and Quinalt, Wynoochee and Humptulips when you thought you could walk on the fish. Some of the greatest times of my life and I am now 72 and not in the kind of shape to do this type of fishing. I hope videos like this will encourage people to preserve our resources for others to enjoy.

[@peterpancho7915]

nice video. 2 weeks of fishing edited into a 11 mind video of GIANT STEELEHEAD ON THE FLY!!! EPIC!

[@flylooper]

When I moved to the Pacific Northwest from California 20 years ago, I took up fly fishing. I tried for probably four years of occasional steelhead outings to get one on the line. When I finally, it was truly a life altering experience. Those fish are brutes and I NEVER kill wild fish. It's the absolute pinnacle of salmonid fishing, bar none. The good news is the foul weather keeps a lot of fishermen off the water.

[@fishntravel4373]

I really love Todd Moen´s films, he's really an artist! Big heads up! Respect Sir! :)

[@SultanofSpey]

I'm not sure why but my "worst" days of fishing have been alone but my "best" days have always been with pals nearby to help out at the end and take the quick picture. But there really are no bad days. These fish give meaning to every day being a new day and the only easy day on the water was yesterday if...I can borrow a part of the old Navy Seal adage. In any case, nice work filming.

[@incautare8387]
