Ahh rookie steelhead fisherman. Entertainment at its best

[@jacobarsulic1682]

You’re at the gulf in Ashtabula! That’s where I’m from! Awesome to see pros come to my home river

[@Abandoned_Brane]

i lived right near there, i know those rivers well. i steelhead fished from the late 80s till about 3 years ago. an olive beaded wooly bugger is the only fly you need.

Nice🎣, great video Mark 👍

[@becaliu67]

Grea video I enjoy 200%,please Mark make aots more like this! I loved!

[@gizmocarr3093]

Pennsylvania streams Steel head runs tend to have larger fish. From my fishing experiences this season, we also catch big browns occasionally and some of them are jumbo size trout.

[@jasonnester9514]

I’m a local on these rivers I love when the water is off color or stained

[@jasonnester9514]

I just run 12 mono right off my pin reel to my hook and it works well

[@coreystoner4129]

I use a combination of euro nymphing and indicator fishing. Euro for skinny water that has fish and indication for the big holes.

[@newflyfisher]

Totally agree, we too use a combination of techniques based on water depth and speed. Great advice for all

[@coreystoner4129]

Very good. What also blows people’s mind is I will actually use a 10’6 3 weight nymph rod for steelhead and land them fairly fast

[@scottwitte5189]

Thats a great video, what rivers and tribs were you fishing? I usually fish the Rocky & Chagrin Rivers up near Cleveland. Thanks

[@TheNickbena]

where do I get one of those nets. I've looked everywhere for one and can't find it

[@Abbott_collin]

There should be a episode hitting redbrook and hogback ridge next season

[@brooktroutangler5917]

Hi Mark - were you using the H3 D or F in the 8 wt.? Thank you

[@newflyfisher]

Hi Brooktrout Angler, I was using the H3D. Ive been playing with the F for the last few weeks and love it as well. Forces you to slow down and concentrate on your timing. Thanks!

[@brandonblackburn5437]

Where’s this “chrome” that you speak of???

[@newflyfisher]

They were trying to catch chrome but had more luck with drop-backs. Good point. Of course a few days after they left, a fresh run of "chrome" did come up the river!

[@ossacatiastril4834]

Anyone have a foolproof way of telling apart steelheads from regular rainbows?

[@newflyfisher]

There is quite a debate about the difference between Great Lakes steelhead and ocean/west coast steelhead. We are not familiar with a specific means of telling the difference but perhaps someone reading this does know?

[@dimes3335]

To be a true steelhead, it needs to be an ocean run fish. All Great Lakes rainbow trout are just that, rainbow trout, not steelhead

[@ossacatiastril4834]

@@newflyfisher Thanks for the reply! If you guys don't know, then I won't bother being any more of a nit than I already am and just call them all rainbows XD

[@rayv7623]

where is this spot??
