[@malonesoutdoors7205]

What a beautiful steelhead! That a fish that’s on my bingo board.

[@FishinAccomplished]

Thanks, yeah, they truly are a special fish... especially since they bite in the winter when there aren't many other options for fishing! Thanks for the comment!

Wow Dan! Felt like I was there and wish I was. Way to go bud

[@FishinAccomplished]

Thanks! I tried to make it as authentic an experience as possible! It's truly a site to behold this time of year... fish or no fish! I 100% recommend! Thanks for watching!

Good to see you guys hook up.I spoke to you guys in the Flats hole.You said you were heading down to the S turns.Nice looking fish.Good luck.

[@FishinAccomplished]

Yeah, it was a bit of a grind that day, but fortunately we got on some action! Thanks for watching!

Nice video. Was there in late Nov, got skunked. Saw a few guys using the center pin rig for fishing. Suprised the splash of the float does not scare the trout. Going back again with my fly rod in the spring.

[@FishinAccomplished]

Yeah, these fish can be elusive! Additionally, my friends and I fished the river a few weeks prior and got skunked as well! From what I've heard, the bite has been tough season... Tight lines in the spring, and thanks for watching!

@@FishinAccomplished Thanks. Also if you don't mind sharing. What size hook were you using? Take care.

An awesome trip once again! so sweet to catch a fish that size in water like that and in the snow. The technique looks a little like fly fishing with a spinning outfit, and that rod tip looked really soft. You just use a bead for bait or sack of eggs?

[@FishinAccomplished]

Yeah... at the time of shooting this video, this was an entirely new style of fishing for me... Honestly, you'd never expect these fish to go after such a simple setup! It IS very similar to fly fishing, both in technique, and in form - super light weight, slow action rod... so when you hook anything of any size, it's a real tug of war, where you have to take your time, for fear of snapping the leader (4 to 6 pound test)! If anything, it is VERY finesse, and these fish can be very picky... We were throwing a variety of different things, but the setup that did the trick was single plastic trout beads (mimicking a single egg) or actual trout egg sacks. Thanks for watching!

@@FishinAccomplished looks finesse for sure, so cool 👍

[@dsmith8564]

You get your hook up at trail ends property?

[@FishinAccomplished]

I don't know the property super well... but this fish came towards where the end of it... near where it drains into the lake
