What kind of tricks do you use in high dirty water?! 🤷‍♂️

[@chrisb7265]

Just got my ass kicked in pulaski all weekend on the bead set up..finally had my first one on. Will be investing in the bright worms for the box, next trip.

[@BombillaShooter]

I smoke a giant bowl, take a swig of whiskey, cast a spoon into an inside seam and forget what the hell I'm supposed to be doing. :-)

[@blacktailbowhunter0135]

Huge gob of roe 5 feet off shore.

[@dougcovert5931]

Don't go

[@arcg2864]

Very good info! I generally go through the same steps but water temperature plays a big part in what I use with high water. Cold high water for me I like less action high visual baits like big marabou jigs, big spawn bags and swedish pimples. Warm water i like the spinners, hot'n tots and flat fish but Ive always hooked up with spawn or wax worms no matter what the conditions are! I prefer float fishing but still figuring out the addicted worms no luck yet but Im sure I will soon

[@anthonyb8994]

One year ago I did't know anything about catching salmon and steelhead. You guys have given me the confidence to go out and catch some fish and not look like a total idiot lol. Even when I don't catch anything, just being out on the water is a big stress reliever. Thank you. 🙏🏾🇵🇷

[@jaydavis0927]

It sure is a great stress reliever

[@jonathanoehlert5672]

Jordan, that was great teaching! I actually knew all that info., but your instruction was so good that I listened to hear your teaching style. Teachers, parents, instructors could learn from that. Good stuff.

[@kevinjohnson1146]

Awesome video of helpful tips. Love how Jordan just kept pulling things out of every pocket 😂. I like the tip just open the box. My eye went straight to that orange worm.

[@mcriser]

You guys are becoming more and more polished without being sh*theads.

[@joshh3184]

You guys do some of the absolute best steelhead vids. Thanks for all the great videos

[@steventaylor470]

Keep it up guys, Great info! I deal alot with high fast dirty water, and the struggle is real! Appreciate all you guys do

[@austinsonger388]

Hey Marlin share the floats bro! Thanks for the schooling today guys.

[@Blktailhunter53]

One of these days I hope to see you hook up while doing one of these tutorials

[@jeffsmall1856]

That water does not look that bad at all. Maybe a little high but clarity is not bad at all. Not dirty.

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

Jeff Small 2-3’ of visibility is perfect imo.... fish aren’t spooked

[@AddictedFishing]

Jeff Small The water had less than 12” of vis this day. Which on this river, is terrible. Normally it’s running with waaaaaay more clarity.

[@Mangomaniac144]

Thank you for the advice. Landed a huge steelhead fishing how you told me to. Appreciate it thanks for the good content

[@jakeyates2455]

This is a great informative video and well articulated! Much appreciated!

[@fredthegamerschrarder7716]

Aye finally a steelhead video 😂

[@coreysteve6472]

Great video! Enjoy them all!!

[@waltbaker610]

Great video guys. I appreciate the tips. Our rivers have been high here in the great lakes region.

[@charliecurtis8852]

I like Jordan because he doesn’t beg for comments and to keep watching.

[@joselopezgarcia528]

Thanks for the bank fishing tutorials guys. That is the kind of fishing I can do for now, but these teachings sure give me more confidence out there :)

[@kennethscott4254]

Excellent tips thank you!!!!!!

[@wilsonflanders878]

Very informative thank you greatly!!!

Good to see fundamentals being shered . Keep up the good work !

[@monlunyee4019]

do you have a video on recommendations for main lines, mono vs braid, benefits of both, and advantages in freezing temps vs above freezing?

[@kurtmarko4988]

These guys have great preeesentation

[@debbieerickson3695]

Why dont you guys come take my kid, 21 fishing. We are right on the Clackamas, and we have a nice sled .take him out and teach how to drive that thing ! Then he drive , and you can fish

[@TonyPhillips-jy7ev]

Love to see fishing with the boss man

[@NWoutdoorsadventures]

Very informative, new to steel head fishing and live in Washington so these tips are awesome.

[@shaunlehman664]

North_West_Outdoors_Adventures if I can offer any advice pick a new fish to chase your days will be full of disappointment if not lol

[@NWoutdoorsadventures]

@@shaunlehman664 hahaha thanks dude!!!! Honestly I'm pretty versed in other local species that's why I'm kind of trying my luck at this new challenge:))

[@shaunlehman664]

North_West_Outdoors_Adventures I spend so much time in the river honestly just being out there is almost as enjoyable as actually hooking fish 🎣

[@NWoutdoorsadventures]

[@mikeo8224]

That pro cure bait scent tip has been a huge help putting me on salmon and fishing in general when others aren't. Love your tips but let's see some pro cure adds!! 😉

[@millennialoutlier7193]

You call that dirty water? That’s practically gin clear compared to the puyallup!

[@cacotwofive6035]

Marlin i didn't see your line get wet,Jordan was doing all the work.😁😁😂

[@rcknrol7258]

One of the best situations for boaters because you know exactly where the fish are ...next to the bank . We will put the 8hp kicker on and run divers with spinglow and eggs backed through the seams close to the bank . Or a small pink worm behind a spin cheater if there are nates around . If the water is murky and im bank bound , ill plunk ( if the water is dropping ) because fish will be moving. I see people catch them on bobbers but where i fish they use the float to sorta back bounce . Use heavy weight and a 1 ounce bobber . Let the bobber out just a few feet from bank and stop n go the bobber to give fish a chance to find your bait . Hold it up , let it float, hold up, let go . That is quite common where i fish when its high ...but i do prefer divers in the boat , or plunking from the bank .

[@juanma8769]

Los veo desde Argentina!!! Somos varios que lo miramos. Estaría bueno que pongan subtitulos!!!! Buena pesca saludos!!!! 👋🏼👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@joeschmidt4991]

I saw the label on that bead box Jordan! Smooth move though.

[@williamb1791]

Have fished several blown out rivers in my time, because when you have a limited time on the river, you fish what you get. Managed a few fish, just have to adjust and think small water in a big river.

[@andrewh3190]

Could you please tell me what kind/ brand net that you use. I’m having trouble finding one. Thank you !

[@lauriegripp838]

Ik caught a 20lb coho on the Applegate river yesterday

[@jeremybednar8975]

Man I wish I could have the water there fishing in right now. Here on the lower mad river its super muddy most of the winter

[@davelambardo6464]

Good info here, I definitely don't care for fishing high water from the bank. I will when its the Only choice. And kinda looks like that will be the way it is for us in southern oregon for awhile. I might try drifting worms over next couple days.

[@chrisdobson7405]

I love bobber fishing. But if its so high I just cant. I go with side drifting yarnies. Make them bigger darker like cerise with white or orange with contrast to make them stand out. And a big yarnie will hold scent for like a hour. U can even pliunk them

[@harolddallas2959]

Muddy river, dark colors! The bullship!

[@derekroper3168]

Really nice video. I learned a lot! What is the bait caster you’re using? That X Series rod looks sexy as hell. Thanks Guys!

[@TonyPhillips-jy7ev]

I’ve found close bank on any day except high sunny days even lakes see big fish cruising the shore line where the smaller smolts hang out

[@angling_oregon5976]

First to the 👍🏼 love the vids guys!!

[@AddictedFishing]

👏Thank you!

[@oakvillefarmer]

What kind of knot do you guys tie on your jigs?

[@stevenlycke2784]

the top water column is the fastest the lowest column is the slowest. if you use a bobber it will drag your presentation off the bottom I'm curious if you use a tight lining method getting your jig in the lower column with mono which sinks better and gives you more contact with the strike

[@kotnhewhohim2092]

I have a shelf here at the bank. I’m literally fishing 1-3 feet from the bank.

[@darrengolding4083]

Up here in British Columbia Canada on a bait ban river we are not aloud to use scent . How can you be able to use it ?

[@SledorFish]

Don't overlook black or other dark colors for muddy water. When I am fishing with a friend I always use a contrasting to color. If they use bright orange I will use black or dark purple. If they use black I will use something bright.

[@northwestoregonfishing1716]

I am not really sure if anyone else does this but in stead of fishing a double bead rig like I would in clearer water, I fish a double rig with bigger baits. A pink worm with a yarnie dropper or a double yarnie rig. A yarnie with a bait dropper etc. I've had a ton of success this way.

[@clayandersen3309]

In a high muddy water situation. Do you guys prefer the full 6 inch addicted worm or would you still snip them down to 4 inches?

[@chunkyboy9624]

High dirty water i like to run a worm or jig then 12 in down a dropper bead (if allowed) tipped with shrimp

[@jerrydell4646]

I would use an orange beed or or a chartreuse spinner and get it down deeper

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

Sandy or clackamas? I use a large sand shrimp to “search” the water for hits then figure out where they are and scale back

[@shaunlehman664]

matanuska high neither lol

[@genedavis759]

True silver plated spinner or spoon .

[@joebrowne1909]

One thing I haven't seen y'all cover is yarnies, atomics and glowbugs. Do you guys not use them? Seems like there are way more colors one can make with yarn then you can find in beads. Especially when one gets into tying atomics and starts layering colors to make new colors. Plus there are no size restrictions as you can tie a glo bug as big as you want.

[@smashdtrash3432]

There are literally hundreds of colors available to purchase in beads. In sizes 1mm to 20mm

[@ChrisG9978]

That water would be considered "clear", "high-viz", and very fishable for any of the great lakes tribs in Western NY...I'd probably be using subtle presentations and 4 lb fluoro in Lake Erie tribs if they looked as clear as that river in the background of the video! Great tips though guys... ;-)

[@jairofleita7881]

Spanish subtitles please!!🙏

[@calebd4317]

It’s to bad there’s no hatchery fish in that river anymore. I live 2mins from there

[@nicholasyebra1988]

That’s sad 😞

[@MichaelPhillips-jw4bj]

'' to bad there's no human raised fish in my river. After all its just like a stock pond, not A LEGENDARY home for steelhead of thousands of years''... Hatchery fish in such a place is always sad. Who knows, all that science that keep saying hatcheries hurt populations might be right.. If not you can start hatcheries again or fish a stocked pond

[@poormansoutdoors.6765]

Which state are you fishing in? it is scenic there!!

[@shawnbowen6833]

One thing that should be mentioned for people new to steelhead fishing, read the regs and definitions. Dont know about Washington, but in Oregon rubber molded imitations of eggs and worms are considered bait and cannot be fished on rivers where bait is not allowed.

[@jonathanoehlert5672]

Wow, that is rediculous!

[@jonathanoehlert5672]

If they dont want people fishing, they should just say so

[@shaunlehman664]

I’ve never heard this before interesting
