I hooked up on my first ever steelhead guys. Thanks a ton for the videos. I love this channel so much. It's helps guys like me that did not get taught how to do this while growing up. It's awesome that your willing to share!!!

[@ScreamingReelsTV]

What I liked most? That you guys understand what a 'spring' salmon is. Locally, people will catch fall run chinook and call them "springs."

[@Reel-fishy]

Love the hallucinater flasher

[@TheTroutHammer]

It's all about that effort 🤙

[@AddictedFishing]

Can't catch them on the couch!

[@FrontCountryHunter]

I liked this episode because it just shows sometimes you don’t always catch a fish but still have fun getting out and going. Liked how it kind of showed me some things too about setting it up for springers.

[@AddictedFishing]

Sometimes its a grind out there!

[@jerrydell4646]

What' I like the most fishing ,it's fun to catch them but you are out enjoying nature and making memories fish on !!!!

[@360fishingadventures8]

[@riverrightoutdoors]

That channel is one snaggy mother. 🤙

[@AddictedFishing]

Lost so much gear in there....

[@Vityasviri]

What Kuiu jacket is the one being worn in the beginning of the video?! 🔥

[@hansmak7321]

You have to tickle the bottom on the ebb, for sure. :-)

[@AddictedFishing]

HAHAHA!

[@gregkahler]

I think about thirty have gone over Bonny, kinda long odds.

[@FlyTech541]

I go to the river and everyone flosses them ?? Do I just floss them too or what else can I try to catch these everyone tells me they don’t bite anything

[@lyoung7607]

What size weight was that in those conditions? Thanks!!

[@deborahwesala]

8 hours. That's fishing. I've had 12hour days in the summer, nary a nibble and then one day four in a row. Crazy talk.

[@dh_hamdi4866]

Is Brad cut plugs effective for springers?

[@AddictedFishing]

Yes they can work for sure. We like the all chrome ones.

[@360fishingadventures8]

25k. #roadto30k

[@AddictedFishing]

🙌🙌

[@nealshimojima7496]

Why do you like to leave the guts in? I have always taken them out.

[@AddictedFishing]

Extra scent!

[@tlpoutdoorsman]

Really like the guide, I would like to fish with him.

[@AddictedFishing]

Give him a call! Eric is a solid guide.

[@tlpoutdoorsman]

[@AddictedFishing]

[@dude999642]

Springer fishing is just that - fishing, not catching.

[@jumpninthedarkalley]

All that gear and gas and cant catch shit jeez.... i feel what makes a fisherman is not needing thousands of dollars of gear to catch a few stupid fish LOL

[@rosaliodavila971]

Fishing sucks,,lol till next time.

[@AddictedFishing]

Haha sometimes its a grind!
