SOLO Canada Steelhead Mission - EPIC - This is why I came to Canada...(DHF Movie #1)

This was one of my favorite fishing adventures of all time. Epic day of fishing on an amazing river in the middle of a picturesque forrest. British Columbia has some amazing scenery and some epic fishing. This was my first time ever traveling to Canada and I hope it's not my last.
If you want to see more videos like this one, here is the last steelhead movie I made: • True Wild - The Chase ...

[@AddictedFishing]

We’re Jealous!! Canada has always been on my bucket list. Looked like an awesome trip.

[@joeoglez]

catching my first steelhead is on my bucket list 😂

[@marcuslarwa9098]

Fuck that 60$ bullshit. Especially if your an out of state fishermen that’s only going to be there for a short period of time.

[@DieHardFishing]

Canada was awesome. I would definitely recommend making a trip up there

[@austinhall485]

Would absolutely love to see addicted come up to British Columbia we have some absolutely majestic rivers up north

[@gameonfishing2506]

They held back on stocking the rivers because they didn't want people fishing during covid salmon was bad this year too.

[@cannistershot2277]

Anyone else notice the nice fish that swims up at 21:40? It appears in the water just under the rod by the 1st eyelet (closest to the reel), swims around for a bit while he's distracted.

[@PillsburyROEboy]

That’s a solid bulltrout for the vedder 👌

[@awsomever]

That second big fish is a bull trout, very hard to find in the us but more common in Canada

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for the ID!

[@joop27]

love your videos.. next time your in canada again find the classified water of the white river for massive bull trout...

[@fletchermah1850]

Been watching you for years. I’m from Vancouver. Glad to see come out to Canada. Looks like the vedder river to me. Good luck fishing

[@michaelreyes2883]

Always authentic videos, never forced, copied, or scripted. One of TOP 2 Channels on the Tube👊🏾

[@scotianatv4565]

Love this video bro! As a Canadian, we only measure snow in cm! Fish are measured in inches 😂

[@DieHardFishing]

Gotcha, still a Canada newbie lol

[@asianyangster916]

Awesome content. You are like the Fish Whisperer bro. Even when no one is catching fish, Die Hard Fishing say "hold my beer" and gets it done.

[@bossdillman7011]

You had a good instinct from experience. Nice fish. Good trip. Been on about 5 steel trips with no fish. Glad you got that beauty

[@downrightdaffy3692]

You have wonderful fish karma! It is because you respect the sport of fishing and follow the fishing regulations. I really love the way you handle the fish especially since you release the fish gently. Great job Adam! 🐬🐬🐬

[@EngGuy63]

Great Vid... you've definitely got what it takes... greetings from Canada... now we need to get you brook trout fishing in Ontario))

[@grandpa_of_2206]

I'm convinced you could catch a fish in a flash flood on a desert highway. Looked like a fun trip.

[@eddycd24]

Good stuff. You might not have heard the phrase before, but "low and to the left" is a good tool to put into your book when landing big fish from the bank. Eyefish coined the phrase, but it will really bring bigger steelhead and kings to shore much quicker. Forces their heads out of bigger water and you get more control. Especially good technique if you're not trying to wear out wild fish. As a life long salmon and steelhead fisherman, just thought I'd throw that your way. Looked like a fun trip! You know you're a steelheader when you leave the country alone to chase em!!

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for the tip!

[@Enrichie]

Does it matter which way the current is going? Genuinely curious

[@eddycd24]

@@Enrichie yes, even though the saying is always low and to the left for some dumb reason, if he were on the other side it would be low and to the right. Essentially just want to angle your road towards the bank instead of out into the river. If that makes sense.

[@eddycd24]

@@Enrichie line in the water effects the direction a fish is headed far more than people think. It started in boats I imagine, but just think about it next time you fight a fish and which way they head in relation to the road angle.

[@stansmith7118]

Thank you for your very hard efforts man. Great vid. Keep on fishing!

[@duanecalkins7432]

Adam you do such a great job on this videos…

[@tomonagaoutdoors]

Very enjoyable adventure! What a day....amazing.

[@gearlist]

Absolutely crushed it, awesome work! 🤙

[@tamalpias]

Adam you don’t every have to fish alone. I am off Sunday thru Tuesdays. Let me know and I will go with you for company.

[@danlewis6157]

Excellent video, man. Great job!

[@codyarmstrong4315]

Welcome to Canada! This is my local river awesome to see you get tight lined and bent up, congrats on the first Canadian steely and dolly!

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks 👍

[@jamestownvirginia8463]

Okay Adam, you take me steelhead fishing and I'll take you musky fishing. The states or Canada work, you catch a musky... You'll never forget. Great video. When musky fishing it's the same thing, run and gun, but when they hit.... Hold on.

[@shawnfarrell9772]

You will have a blast, been there done that but on the east coast. Still was a blast and you will have fun. Big fish and good people, enjoy bro. Some beautiful fish that last one had some great coloring on it. Our trout season starts this Saturday here in Vermont and we are on it, can't wait. Till then I have watching you to keep me going. Thanks kid for your time made me drool can't wait till this weekend here.

[@byunique2]

Way to go Adam, so glad you figured it out on Day2! You were on fire!

[@mattbrown7483]

Great video Adam. Awesome to see the steelhead jumping, that was quite the fight. I like the commentary style editing; it adds to the overall quality when making a longer video. So, kudos on a very successful trip all around.

[@DieHardFishing]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@StevenDelCastillo]

Excellent video, Adam. Thanks for sharing dude!

[@t-bonejones3576]

Cooked shrimp is a great bait for so many species but especially bass and walleye. And did I mention everything eats shrimp? Like everything !

[@theoutdoorlife4665]

Comment 100 🎉- great content man! Always catching, always educating the viewers. Definitely inspired me to get out there more. Tight line’s brotha 🙏

Thanks Adam, great video and pretty fish.

[@jesparza602]

Awesome trip man. You're living the dream! Great to see you growing as a fisherman and person. Great content!

[@k00ey]

My dude is officially addicted to steelhead. Props on the hard work and effort put into it!

[@RGB06084]

Great video from the commentary and editing perspective too Adam!

[@xGorexGirlx]

Adam great video. Thanks alot for sharing. Go Giant's!

[@johnfishingclown6415]

Man Adam! you stuck it! Toad Steelhead! great footage too... Congrats! you made it look easy! thanks again for the great content. take care.

[@PabloGonzalez-vw6jw]

Great trip, love the steelhead content. Thanks for sharing your set . Keep up the good work.. Idea for next salmon trip, where I fished in the past is Sitka Alaska. Sawmill creek..

[@manfredurl6031]

I really enjoy watching your videos Adam and your friendly , happy ,personality is a major plus besides the great fishing you are showing us in your videos . Thank you greetings from Canada

[@RGB06084]

Excellent example of what is called reading the water Adam! Congrats!

[@fishsalmon8747]

Beautiful….fish on🤙🏽😃

[@wayneroberts7852]

Awesome video man! Way to get it done solo!

[@atatterson6992]

Great job man. Love the attitude...

[@raybaby]

This is one of my favs from your channel. I watched it on my TV multiple times. Steelhead is the 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 I watched all your episodes for your first steelhead also which is how I came across your channel. Keep it up. STEELHEAD Fish On !!!

[@Justin-zs1ql]

Another awesome steelhead video. I absolutely love steelhead fishing so I say more chrome.

[@moondog-HMB]

Great format in this video. Really digging the narrative setup of upcoming scene.

[@stoweman34]

What should you do next?…You should come to Oregon and teach me (a newby) how to fish. I recently purchased a 21’ North River Seahawk and have no clue how to fish…accept Kokanee. I live 2 min from the Columbia and also have a beach house near Garibaldi (Tillamook Bay), I figured I needed to take the plunge on a boat if I wanted to learn anything😀. I dig your calm no-stress demeanor! Killer vids!

[@davidamato3690]

Good for you brother!!! A solo trip is great once a while!

[@Chocalateshake]

From the bay area dudes you're creating the best content without a doubt

[@joerosa170]

Great video. What a beautiful trip to Canada.

[@steelhead6368]

Canada has lot of pure nature to offer. Maybe it's just me but Americans seems to think Canada is some hick town country and we all have accents. We aren't that much different than any of you. We just have shit ton of nature and less people. I'm glad you had a good time and hopefully you'll make more visits. Awesome to see good etiquettes from your fishing trip (handling fish, quick release, keeping fish in the water).

[@bnfishin6855]

Cool video! Bull trout in Oregon fight like crazy and are so much fun to catch.

[@colorspacmangalvez5990]

It's nice when a real Fisherman show you how it's dun 💯 love your videos

[@drewmacmillan6954]

Great post! It took me years to catch my first steelhead.. Thanks!

good stuff excellent video!!

I don’t normally comment but man today cant help it. That was an awesome fishing man. Especially a new spot from another country… ohhh man thats just great fishing! Two Thumbs up bro 👍🏽👍🏽 And Badabing badaboom👊🏾👊🏾😁😁

Very nice video! Whirlpool water is called an eddy!

Congratulations on the Canadian steelhead!

[@Snatchez69]

Hope you had a great time in BC!

[@djandison]

Great job!!

[@idahoducker]

Whatever I'm fishing for at the time is pretty much my favorite fish to fish for. However, out of all the fishing I do here in the NW I think Steelhead hunting might really be my favorite. It really is more like hunting than fishing sometimes. Possibly the most memorable fish I've caught was a 13 pound native Steelhead way up an Oregon river that was only about 25 feet wide at that point. This video was really fun to watch. Makes me want to schedule another trip to the coast.

[@muhibuddinlsm239]

Wow nice fishing thanks for you 🧡

[@shotgunaaron]

Nice work 🤙

[@OffBrandGolf]

21:39 is that a fish behind the rod and Adam's hand???

[@knobz100]

Dude @ 21:40 on your right hand side you had a fish coming while you were hooked😱

[@scottspradau3067]

Nicely done!!! Those were some beautiful fish. It’s always a great feeling when a plan comes together. Our season in MN was challenging this year too. In spite of my efforts, I didn’t catch any 😔 There’s always next year.

[@westshorefishing]

Awesome trip man .

[@tonykurzvideos]

Dude really enjoyed this adventure! Awesome to see you getting on the fish.

[@SEAKR1]

Good stuff man!

[@RUmlas]

Chilliwack? Veddar? Welcome to beautiful British Columbia.

[@UnRaT3Dx]

Do you know the name of the place he stated at?

[@richardmcgowan716]

Looks like you've caught the fever! I've had a bad case of Steelhead fever for 50 yrs. Its been a great adventure

You literally just came fishing in my backyard. Also seems like you stayed right in my neighborhood too. I'll tell you this, I've seen some serious anglers going really hard to catch their steelhead this year and they were unsuccessful. You can really feel extremely blessed for what you've experienced and the good weather! I am also glad to see you posting this footage of areas that are now closed to fishing lol FYI... the largest west coast kayak salmon fishing derby happens on the last weekend of August on the island :)

[@addicted2fishing119]

Super Sick Video Adam ‼️ Awesome when a plan all come together 🍻‼️

That was a beautiful bull! Good job brother 👍

Nice to see you've made it up here to BC 🇨🇦, am I right? Truly a Die Hard fishing adventure heading to Canada to blitz fish for two days! Nice trout. We have cutthroat up here too. Beautiful silver bullet of a fish! Congratulations! What a fight from the second steelhead! So exciting to watch!

[@DieHardFishing]

Yep, BC! Thanks for watching!

[@JigginwithG]

Rad trip my dude 🎣🐟

[@stevensmith2085]

And every year, it’s the rain and certain weather that pushes them into the rivers and sometimes the runs are smaller or they run at nite and it’s only a few days.. or short spurts and you just gotta be there when they come in. They’ll be there all winter though til spring spawn.

[@eriks9576]

Bull Trout. You need to hit the Quinault Indian reservation next winter on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington. Its a pretty crazy experience, huge fish and usually lots of them.....

[@NuclearGroudon]

You should definitely come to bc when it’s salmon season fishing gets crazy here

[@southernoregonfisherman6085]

Dude Canada? hell yeah!😂😂

[@kauaimurph]

Like others have said, you should be super stoked to catch bull trout. They are relatively rare in the U.S. due to habitat loss and degradation in water quality. Only bull trout I’ve caught were deep in the Bob Marshall Wilderness in MT.

[@chriscurren6384]

Felt like I was there with you. Great video.

[@justinemartin7550]

Fishing seems to be very interesting, have the opportunity to try

[@604billyboy]

Haha welcome to Canada eh😁 great to see my home river👍

[@Kaitlyn871]

When you have a fish down blow you like the buck you caught try lowering your rod down then pull up stream and that will. Turn the fish to come up to you. Give it a try. Griz from Wash.

I'd love to see you do some sturgeon fishing, you were in world class sturgeon area on the fraser River! Would have been cool to bump into you I was probably fishing a couple kms down from you haha

That is awesome! Maybe see you next time!

@@DieHardFishing if you want to see chaos you should see salmon season on the lower part of that river haha.
