Tippy Dam steelhead fishing 2022. It was on fired - A must see video [Filmed 5-3-22]

It was unbelievable to see these many fish. The last time I saw these many fish was a decade ago - 2012. So many fish that you can see them swimming 10 feet in front of you. It was a good day to fish - lots of fish, few people, and weather was nice.

When I first started watching you grab those fish like that I figured you were keeping them. Then you threw it back!?! Mind blown! Way to kill those fish

[@yyoohh]

Uneducated ppl for sure .They need to be fined

[@ericwakeman6665]

Great day of fishing those don’t come along often! Congrats! I know it has been said but if you’re gonna release those fish you should learn proper technique for giving them the best chance to survive. A net & avoidance of gills are good places to start. Keep up the good work on the fishing!

[@ryanruby8922]

That was me that neted them fish for u guys was for sure a great day of fishing

[@nlvoutdoors5626]

Thanks

[@joetrapiss2668]

Can’t handle the fish any better than this

[@trevanherek6003]

best way to handle a fish prior to releasing...hold it by the gill plate. smh

[@leebarnes393]

Yea these guys are a joke!!

[@hardcoremichiganoutdoors4096]

Some great ethical releases 🤦‍♂️

[@leebarnes393]

It's a shame 😜,such a good day of fishing only to be seen as deplorable your treatment and releases of the fish! Shame 😳, but a GD Net!!

[@DpuckFishingandOutdoors]

[@aviation_tus]

Hello, I’m headed there in mid June. Do you think the steelhead bite will still be okay?

[@nlvoutdoors5626]

Not sure, usually steelhead season is done in April but somehow this year is a little different.

[@aviation_tus]

@@nlvoutdoors5626 ok thanks. Any idea of what I may catch?

[@nlvoutdoors5626]

@@aviation_tus 100% sure if you go this coming weekend, You will catch redhorse sucker... but no guarantee for steelhead.

[@nlvoutdoors5626]

Tie some black and purple flies... you will catch them

[@aviation_tus]

@@nlvoutdoors5626 alright

[@jakejohnson73]

[@nlvoutdoors5626]

[@nlvoutdoors5626]

[@eddietaber9905]

[@nlvoutdoors5626]

[@jasonclark2571]

Could u tell me how long of leader I need to fish tippy thanks

[@nlvoutdoors5626]

Depends on water level But I fish around 4 to 5 feet leader

[@xzavierwarren9092]

What style of fishing rod is that?

[@jamcel3404]

We Salmon fish 2 years ago on this side but we walk down further. What lure were you using for those stellies?

[@tim35000]

That guy in the orange jacket has to be the worst fish handler that l have ever seen ! How many lived after being gilled?

[@carvids8]

What where y’all using

[@nlvoutdoors5626]

At the time, we were using black wooly bugger and beads.

[@boblove6865]

[@chrislowe8341]

Skanker get it done!

[@muskratmanoutdoors2946]

Maybe Don't hold them by the gills

[@stinoutdoors]

Learn how to properly handle fish if you’re going to be releasing them thanks

[@maxpetsch9341]

If you’re gonna release fish, please invest in a net

[@maxpetsch9341]

Oh and roll them around in the dirt too. Good idea.

[@trualbanian1]

when will these start running in the Clinton and tippy damn again?

[@nlvoutdoors5626]

It depends on the weather... usually right after snow melt and temp. gets little warmer with good level of water.

[@twistedstemsfarmms572]

Are the kings in

[@justinjackson1416]

Learn how to handle fish. Jamming your fingers in their gills insures that fish will die, they have a hard enough time recovering after fighting.

[@kennethbrescia9351]

Lots of dark fish

[@leebarnes393]

These are not Salmon, they don't Die after Spawning!! These Steelhead can live 8years and spawn 4to5 times in their life!! Get a clue 🧩,treat them with respect!

[@nickchernoby1508]

Good Bad and ugly tippy

[@twistedstemsfarmms572]

Man they got that river all messed up... Pls remove all walk ways and pls vote to have all dams removed in Michigan... What next is the DNR going to do stop birds fr flying south in the winter come on

[@leebarnes393]
