I Will Not Leave the River Until I Catch a Fish...

[@anthonyhargis6855]

As was pointed out ealier, that is a "Floor Furnace" and it is used to heat the house. We had one in the late fifties and early sixties. The house is still there and the floor furnace still works. They ran on Natural Gas.

[@nomadhomad3685]

That's pretty based, I won't lie. I wished today's cookie cutter houses up North had them standard.

[@anthonyhargis6855]

@@nomadhomad3685 They were usually in the hallway and they ARE a true furnace. They work best if you use a fan to spread the heat out around the rest of the hose. The "ends' of the house -- we lived in what are called "shotgun houses" -- can get quite cold, while the center is burning up.

[@addicted2fishing119]

Because hot air rises, this is the best style of house heating …awesome observation and I agree ☝️ 🍻

[@terryhowie3099]

Great video Adam! Love the simplicity of taking advantage of what nature can give us and still enjoy catching fish!

[@gradybrowning3976]

That grate in the floor is a old Floor Furnace! Can’t wait to see get on the Halibut again!

Awesome bucket list fish! Great job, Adam! Thanks for taking us on another journey!

floor heater our neighbors had one and that house was built in the 30's, had a little basement kinda where the heater was, nice fish!!

[@jimlivingston7077]

Your videos are the next best thing to being there. I have eye opener for you. White closed cell foam, 1/4" thick, scissor your own artificial baits. They float well, stay on hook and they work well. A drop of liquid scent, custom.

Great video and yes old heater had one of those when I was a kid.

You make me feel old. Floor heater, gas. Burnt feet. Good times.

[@bruceholbrook5995]

A floor heater, oh we have fond memories of stepping on it barefooted. It leaves a waffled imprint on the bottom of your feet. We soon converted to a wall heater. After everyone in the house had a resound experience of hopping around going ew ouch ew ouch After stepping on the Thing! Whoever created those heaters, Must be in hades by now... One other thing you should never do, is go fishing in the privy.

[@sharksbob6360]

old style floor furnace, probably from the 40-50's

[@ry-man4354]

It's crazy sometimes the things you find in a b&b! One time I stayed in St. George UT, and as we were checking out this sweet guest house, we open a closet full of guns and ammo😳 ...it was just there fully stocked with no lock on the door! You can imagine we didn't sleep that night! Be thankful all you found was an old floor heater!😄 Great video my bro!!☝️🇺🇲

[@geraldlair2888]

No, I can't imagine! OMG! So why couldn't you sleep? Afraid those evil EVIL weapons were going to load themselves and shoot you all by themselves? Really dude?

[@ry-man4354]

@@geraldlair2888 it was a guest house for strangers to come and sleep. So you have no problem leaving an entire arsenal full of guns open to strangers? Yeah.. really dude! I wasn't trying to say that I'm afraid of guns or anti guns. It's the crazy stuff you find, was my point. There is more to the story but I wanted to keep it short☝️🇺🇲

[@BlackArcher221]

Yeap, it's a heater, My grandmothers house in Los Angeles was built in the 40's. looks just like hers. No gremlins will get cha'.

[@kanakoa74]

Are you using roe sacks under the bobber? I saw the bobber several times but never the bait or lure?

[@jimsegger9116]

It’s a floor heater very old it probably doesn’t work anymore they are similar to the ones on the wall in older homes

[@dienluu410]

Looks like an old air return for oil heat furnace

[@barefootterry3785]

Nice fish! Thanks for the video, Adam!

[@rogersmullins1677]

Ditto, old floor heater. Most people board up the opening to prevent drafts.

In the floor Gas Heater for sure!

Cali steelhead are so small compared to ours up here in the PNW

[@Lex.polupan]

We have big ones but your wilds are like 20 pounds my dad saw a 35 pounder chase his spoon

[@raybaby]

I have enjoyed watching your videos since the beginning. I usually watch on my TV, but finally here on my computer I am able to comment. Fish On !!!

[@salmonchasr]

My young son waffle burned his bare feet one time on a neighbor's hot floor furnace grill. Love the fishing videos! As a challenge, try steelhead fishing in other Northern California areas like Walker Creek, Salmon Creek, Russian River, and Gualala. Good luck!

[@joeynelson1609]

The dorsal fin tends to get worn from the concrete in the hatchery drifts and the fish tend to nip at each other. This is at least the case for hatchery trout. I'd imagine it happens to the Steelhead as well.

[@JamesKyujin]

Bomber fishing for steelhead is definitely fun! Used to do it all the time fishing the Rogue River in Rockford Michigan growing up. Barely get to do any of it now living in the bay. Great video my dude hope to run into you one day fishing on the yak 🤙

[@caseyracer19]

I’m pretty sure only the tagged kings are clipped, and not all hatchery fish are tagged. Idk if they tag the steelhead and do the same thing but just because it has all its fins might not mean it’s not a hatchery fish.

[@dougheckathorn3925]

Great video Adam! Keep them coming.

[@k4x4map46]

nice!! Maybe visit the hatchery?

[@pedalandpaddle1971]

That is a cold air return, for the heater.

[@LigayaShow]

Is this in Sacramento?

[@calvinsplan4774]

Our house was built in 1920's , we have gas heat & our air intake is like that one. The Columbia river in Oregon HAD a big summer run for years my pb is 17, we didn't keep any fish under 6, I miss the 90's.

[@danielcole8609]

The winters this year are monsters I've got a couple in the mid teens this year and seen two hatchery fish that were 18 and 19 lbs

[@jeffbrown646]

be careful because in some rivers in CA you can only keep one hatchery steelhead

[@n8xu]

That is a floor furnace of Yesteryear.

Air register. It shouldn’t be covered. It takes fresh air in to the furnace.

[@joeynelson1609]

Adam, much respect mas always for you as an angler. I have a couple of questions for you. Hopefully good ones. First: What do you feel are the advantages / disadvantages of Steelhead fishing on a river with & without waders vs from the shore? I can think of a few but would welcome your opinion. Second: Would you be up for a one time guided tour one of these days. I've got Fridays and Saturdays and some Thursdays off? It would be awesome to go out with you and learn the craft first-hand. I imagine you get this second question often and it may not be practical. I'm predominantly a trout fly angler but have be very encouraged by you, Taku, Nick, Die Hard and the rest over the past few years to go out shore fishing and have learned much from all of you.

[@santiagocastillo5027]

good fishing bro congratulations

[@joshhamilton4482]

I was just curious, why after you set the hook do you drop your rod down and and aim it up stream. Why don’t you just keep your rod up afterwards? I heard you complain about losing a fish and you were mentioning barbless hooks but I always notice you drop that rod and aim it up stream. Good video by the way! I hope to see more steelhead footage!

[@omihurst]

You are hooking up rainbow trout that’s is not steelhead trout.

[@odhecaton]

Ummm...same dif. On this river, technically ALL rainbows you catch are considered "steelhead," even if they are smolts which haven't yet been to sea. It's hard to tell, in fact. Some locals say that a 9"-12" smolt that will eventually go to sea will already be "silvery" colored, more than a resident rainbow. But it's hard to know. I caught four on this river this season, but sadly all were 10-12" pre-ocean smolts. Only one was sorta chrome-ish, the others looked as green & red as any "normal" rainbow. The regs are that if you catch a trout in this body of water, you mark it on your steelhead report card, regardless -- because you just have no way of knowing.
