First Time Steelhead Fishing the Salmon River Dec. 2017

[@mikaelrantaoutdoors]

Love the steelhead footage man! Sometimes you'll get lucky and they'll just be absolutely loaded in one spot like in that pool

[@mattking5242]

Catching rainbows on store bought cured eggs is impressive!! Nice video. Brings back memories of when I used to ride my bike down to fish that area as a kid.

[@Justin-hq9mi]

Wait, wtf happened at 17:33?

[@0100000101001100]

The fish he caught got free and the hook snagged a dead one.

[@liamduell3316]

That tripped me out when you lost that fish and snagged the dead one

[@sean7697]

Liam Duell I was like wtf happened it started decomposing immediately?

[@JerzyAnt609]

No way that was the same fish wtf

[@liamduell3316]

It wasnt, the hook just managed to pop out and snag onto a dead fish

[@KindaSortaGood]

I came to the comments to figure out what the hell happened there. I was so confused. Thanks for pointing that out.

[@jimmyceltic4120]

Always enjoyable to watch your channel i usually hit the thumbs up before i watch it. Have a good day and stay safe.

[@ceciliab6055]

Best fishing channel on KZbin. Thanks !

[@healthinfotipss]

I'm also agree with you.

[@SinCityOutdoors]

Looks like fun. I love Steelhead Fishing. Nice video

[@TheSlayerofGoogans]

Awesome how we all go from the ocean to the stream. Wherever the fish are!!

[@benvasquez99]

Love the style of video you make, its informative for what you're doing but enjoyable as well. The narration you do is good too

[@benjaminbabus6466]

Do yourself a favor brings forceps and bring a net helps you get the fish in and out quick . Amazing fish buddy you did well for walking the bank there you were dialed in! ❤it!

[@marklove4469]

Is it Bad that I know what holes he's fishing based off the trees on the opposite shore

[@guitarhiker4449]

Good job man!! No bobber either just an egg sac and some split shots. Does work! Maybe the easiest way to catch them but could get snagged here and there. Like that section! Ssshhh... Lol i have no idea where that is?.. Lol Not a ton of good spots on the salmon river with good fish and few people. But theirs a few. I've had two trips in a row with nothing before, so really good day for you! Fish on!!

[@FishingFrames]

Great vid. All those New York Rivers are fun to fish. The stocking program is crazy.

[@enderwiggin2856]

Yall were right up my neck o the woods. Looked like a lot of fun.

[@davidthomas5493]

The first spot you stopped at was the school house then the spot where you buddy lost the tank is the wires and spot you where crushing them is called fraisers

[@Michaelmx338]

We called all the little ones smolts, even though that was probably more of a salmon term. Like anything else once you get a system down you don't lose many fish. We always used eagle claw wide bend hooks, I can not tell you why, but they worked best by far. I've had 16 for 16 days, don't get me wrong I've had days I could not buy a smolt. Love the steelies. Lots of different baits to try. I got lazy as I got experienced and would just bring a tub of waxies. Havn't tangled in years with them but great memories. BTW you are an outstanding fisherman.

[@nolanminor6761]

Lol the Leo pronunciation of rainbow trout! I fished for steelhead my first time this year too, only had fished small creeks for smaller stocked/wild trout beforehand. Techniques seemed very similar but just like you said, MANY drifts and not a ton of bites. Super fun fish to target! Pink worm was clutch for me too, I wacky rigged it on a trout magnet head.

[@seandelaney4130]

But loved the video guys had a ball salmon river is one of the toughest rivers to fish, deffenitly one of my fab vidz I'll run in two u guys one of this a years

[@CursedPurse]

Dude that spot is a textbook salmon/trout spot; structure, a point and a current seem.

[@speedball1919]

When the fall striper fishing is beat you just gotta broaden your horizons, which is exactly what you’ve been doing this year!

[@shaney3116]

Man I watch every single one of your videos. Awesome stuff!!! Next time you go to Florida stop by here in North East Georgia and let's catch some of these fresh water striper. I live on lake hartwell. Look up some info on this lake. Huge lake with some awesome fishing.

[@EliasVFishing]

Good times dude

[@keegancousins7146]

EliasVFishing as

[@tacklecentralfishing1051]

Love salmon fishing, I'm more than due to get up to superior in Duluth MN. Love your vids.

[@roccomanginelli9109]

Definitely a good spot to fish, down stream from there is great too

[@Gearclocks]

Nice fishing. Love trout

[@futureyou6496]

17:17 Magic show while fishing

[@bradys.7967]

Hey man. Love the videos but the quality on this one was a bit different, were you using a diff camera? The aspect ratio is super off on my end.

[@ChrisMcIntee]

same camera, I messed with the settings on the gopro, I was filming in "super view", no good huh? My past few vids have been filmed on this setting, do you notice it in those vids too?

[@bradys.7967]

Sea-Money Fishing Nope! I just reopened this vid and it looks normal. Maybe because I initially opened the vid 20sec after you posted it😂 Looks great now🤷‍♂️

[@Eliaah]

Sea-Money Fishing I like superview way more

[@Kfccruncer]

We go up every year for steelhead. Good times up there. Even better on a fly rod.

[@Angealies]

I have never fished for steelhead before but it sure does look interesting. From what i can gather, These are just bigger and tougher rainbow trouts. In my stocked stream you can catch anything from 1-5LB rainbows and i have and they're just simply beautiful fish. For a first time steelhead angler you did awesome and i hope to see you keep at it. Tight lines buddy!

[@ChrisMcIntee]

thanks yea I too am used to the stocked trout but ours are almost all 10"-13". I am pretty fascinated with these bigger lake run trout, I will definitely be back at some point

[@dillonfishing]

Heading up there this weekend. High temp of 10 on Friday! Yewwwwww

[@davidthomas5493]

You should try a drift boat trip. You get to cover a lot of water and have an experienced guide to tell you where to fish. My dad does it and I’m working on becoming a guide. Also you should try center pinning it’s super fun and challenging.

[@thereelraconteur7801]

Dude, I love your shit. But every fish you land I just keep saying out loud to my phone "why doesn't he just get a fucking net?!?!" "Some foreceps maybe?" Lol... Good stuff Sea$. Just think how cool you would look with a net hanging from your belt and, like, a tan vest with lots of pockets.

[@Mathews29]

I'm with you on that one...guess it takes a couple trips to realize that haha

[@kevinmarano5759]

We're you in town? Or by school house in Altman

[@FishAholicTV]

how did they taste?

[@jeffknowles3952]

Talking about tough day, you haven't seen tough day up there yet. You actually did very well. I've been going up there for 10 years and if your catching 1 or 2 fish a day your doing good. Last time I went up there I got skunked. Three days fishing and nothing. First time that's happened. Then there are times when I go up i catch them all in one day and none the rest of the days. I I've learn you have to diversify your fishing methods and not just rely one the salmon river. If the salmon river is too high or too low or has too much fishing pressure you have to try other tribs or you'll get skunked more often then not.

[@Eliaah]

Dope stuff can’t wait to get up there myself!

[@billknox4121]

Low light conditions call for chartreuse green eggs or flies also, streamers are a good change up

[@ChrisMcIntee]

I will remember that.. I hope to get back up there (or better yet a different trib) at some point.

[@mikemelina9607]

The rod..."noodle rod"? Do you mean light-fast action(6-12#)? I'm looking to pick one up and I'd like your impressions:...also, 1 piece or 2 piece blank, could I use it for fall stripers without breaking it in half?

[@siklegend]

This is literally steelhead fishing paradise compared to where I fish

[@tysonseafoot7834]

These are Great Lakes steelhead. No steelhead paradise

[@hardstepps]

Sea Money son!! Getting it done as always. Hey man can you make a wader/boot combo recommendation or even a short video on what you look for? Being in Florida I dont have to use them much but this year is going to be a lot colder than normal. I fish the surf a lot for red drum and pompano in the winter. Any help would be awesome. Keep it up man. Love the content.

[@vengefulaug]

Really nice to see someone drift fishing and not snagging

[@mick8018]

dude is flossing fish... that"s snagging with style up in them parts.

[@FishinPA]

man i wanna fish with you and elias so bad... meet up striper fishing sometime maybe? I caught one steelhead there after 2 days of nothing and it was like 15 inches... talk about a beat trip... but the salmon fishing there is absolutely awesome anyways nice vid bro

[@fshng2fish]

Good video. Ever considered swinging streamers on a dropper loop with split shot on the bottom?

[@Eliaah]

Ay I’m in western MA/pioneer valley you should come down this spring and get some big carp and smallies my dad met you out on the vineyard he and I are big fans

[@michaelcaprioli7879]

Good job bub

[@hubertstrzalkowski1261]

The boys should get back together for a fishing trip.

[@mrwjobs1972ify]

Sweet video chris.. thanks for sharing.. I definitely am no steelhead master but I don't think steelhead rise (feed on the surface) at this stage in thete life.. regular bows do though. N certainly browns as well.. I'm sure there in that stretch u were in.. could be completely wrong... frickin awesome though bro...thumbs up

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

nice fish'n , i enjoyed the video

[@tallidavis7582]

Loving these videos keep it up

[@Mathews29]

You did good. For 1st time...you should be happy you hooked up at all. Most people 1st time won't even catch one. Its always slow...

[@MrDjc26]

just ordered a rod from all season keep in touch !!!

[@EliteBassStickFishing]

Keep up the dope vids!💯💪👊LET'S GO!!!

[@andrewhirtle3525]

One second it was alive the next it was dead lol!

[@0100000101001100]

What weight is the rod? light, medium? What do you recommend?

[@michaelwilkinson7812]

Sweet videos man hell yeah

[@robertbarnhardt5370]

Was your weight bouncing on the bottom like for salmon or lighter weight is needed?

[@Handberrydea]

Nice chrome!

[@hectorcoria3650]

That was awesome to watch!!! Are them steel head trout good eating? I really enjoyed this video!!!

[@healthinfotipss]

Really awesome video..

[@outdoorswithjoefishandgrea4692]

They’re probably the best tasting fish out there

[@FShklr3]

Thanks for sharing your vids, can you tell me who makes the egg sacks you were using?

[@ita2283]

Como se llama ese lugar. Me gustaria ir de pesca

[@SuperHank777]

Great video !! I prefer the shore fishing videos

[@clintmock610]

Nice video !

[@russb296]

Hey bud, how do I contact you privately? I have a friend and I that I planning on hitting the Niagara River for Browns and steelhead in the very near future and would like to pick your brain on tackle?

[@mellowbobbin8684]

One day muricans will learn to bring a net when fishing. No matter how many rods they bring... Most youtubers seem to not be comfortable with netting at all. Still love your vids. More of a general rant than about you ❤

[@zachmauch4451]

Nice video man gotta rip the Gill and bleed em out if your going to keep them.

[@healthinfotipss]

Yes really awesome video

[@zachmauch4451]

Trap Idea you should see our steelhead in WA state they get 15lbs

[@coolvid]

Nice work Chris 👍 I was always hesitant going up there with the crazy stories from my friends. Didn’t look bad at all. Off the beaten path?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

we were right on the beaten path haha... it was fairly crowded but that one spot I caught all my fish from, nobody seemed to fish. the bigger pools all had 5-10 people fishing them

[@RalphBarton-fishing]

Well done buddy

[@Steve-qo4hi]

Good vid but let's be clear. You did NOT have a slow day for that river. And bring a net and forceps next time. Makes landing and releasing much easier.

[@adee2324]

Should of tried the little creeks around there when the river not doing to good trout Brook little sandy and Orwell are good

[@adamsmith8533]

Cast the egg sac... Hook the Steelie...pass the rod around the tree. .jump in the river. Land the fish.....Repeat. yeah!!!!

[@TsunamiSam]

Pretty dam cool man

[@mitchellsewell275]

19:30 is a skippy. One year steelie.

[@turnerracing92c]

Right by my house , badd ass man.

[@keepitreelcatfishing5883]

So Salmon eat their own eggs ?

[@benileilyazadeh8934]

that last fish you caught i believe was a trout ... its too light on top to be a steelhead

[@iFish54321]

First time I see Elias fishing on foot aka land aka not on kayak

[@healthinfotipss]

I'm not First time,,he all time make very good video.

[@uhchiaobito9989]

Hey man, I was wondering if you had ever fished the oswego river in NY?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

I have heard about it, we almost went there for day 2, but no I have never fished there

[@mihaelabitanu9004]

💪💪💪💪

[@evankeller4253]

Is it just a coincidence that there are Nespresso ads on a video with Elias in it...

[@EliasVFishing]

That's somewhat disturbing.

[@MrDjc26]

40 min from me syracuse ny wish i knew would love to fish with u

[@tphvictims5101]

Did they change the law about the leader lengths and swivels? Did that 40 years ago. Philadelphia? I hear it's hunting season there.

[@SAMCOM57]

the 4ft. rule is in play from August til April the following year. www.fishsalmonriver.com/Regulations#salmon

[@ChrisMcIntee]

thanks for posting that link. wish I knew I could have used treble hooks on a floating lure... I had a small floating rapala in my hand that I was about to tie on but then realized (elias told me) that trebles were not allowed.

[@saganworshipper6062]

2 inch black and gold floating Rapala would have cleaned out the river. :)

[@robertbarnhardt5370]

Yessssssss

[@kylemartinson9081]

If you land multiple steelhead in one day you are doing well!!

[@Petey2hills]

What exactly happen when that fish came off and than died? And looked all dead?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

there was a dead decomposing salmon that was laying right there, my steelhead swam under it, popped off, and my hook found the butt of the dead salmon... pretty quick turn of events.

[@Petey2hills]

Sea-Money Fishing lmao

[@chriswardenoftheforest1458]

Have an uncle that rents out cabins on the river if yous want. I ain't ever been up there but they are cheap with heat and electric. Last I heard he charges like 55 a night

[@hothead6608]

Are u using Floral carbon

[@libertywilly2417]

Auto like always

[@CookingandFishing]

LOL 7:35 tree...then 17:32 classic C$ moments

[@bankmaster5104]

[@jamesreed8517]

I was you I would clear out some sticks and stuff all in that area

[@oscargurule636]

[@shariseshantel]

[@UncleLarryOutdoors]

[@ChrisMcIntee]

[@UncleLarryOutdoors]

[@concos3727]

The dead fish at 17:30 is actually a different fish

[@bigsadie3405]

1733 thats a sign you might want to real in quicker

[@moseslyde2101]

that looks exactly like a spring salmon

[@TheMasterCaster]

im here for the trout

[@ar15f117]

Hey Chris, have you ever kissed any fish that you caught?

[@redorrick427]

landing 5 out of ten is a very successful day, are you kidding.

[@therealfreekshow]

Steelhead are good eating
