Winter STeelhead Redemption 30 hookups - 17 landed

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

coiple good trips - got out again with rob today at a different creek and hooked 24 landed 16 between us - NO SKUNKIN

[@waynetardiff9328]

Great vid again, awesome action,trees and all!!!!! 😊

[@truenorthangler]

What a day, Bill. One to remember, glad you got it on film. Lots of dropback fish. Fishing those log jams is sketchy but rewarding when you land them. Beautiful peaceful day out there, goes to show you that untouched water gets you more fish hook ups. Your whole day was on a high note. Loved the float drops.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks Adrian ✌ i was overdue 🎣 i fished with Rob yesterday on a more pressured stream - fished the holes after guys gave up and we hooked 24 landed 16

Thanks ✌ Appreciate it!!

[@flyman451]

I loved the "search & rescue" comment! I can remember quite a few years ago I walked way up stream at Folly's on Elk Creek. It was a solid mile and at 72 years old and nearing dark I was worried would I get back to the car before it got dark.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

we got to make sure we dont bite off more than we can chew lol

[@mikekucik]

Great outing Bill! I would say you had a day that was well above average. Redemption!!

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks ✌ i was overdue for some good luck

[@nickstojanovic8868]

Very nice going Bill. Love the float drops. I must say you are blessed with such a terrific steelhead fishery on your side of the lake. Your stocking program is to be commended. Up here on the north shore of lake ontario we are not so fortunate. Our steelhead numbers are on the decline sadly. The creeks don't get the runs they used to get. We have about 5 or 6 creeks/rivers east of where I live that are within an hour drive from 3 million people. Pressure is high and numbers are down. What's very satisfying to see is as you are panning up and down stream with your camera you don't see another soul, you have the river to yourself. A different story up here. Once again very nice going and keep up the good fishing. Greetings from Toronto.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks man ✌ the creeks get pretty crowded here at times to - i just drive around to i find one thats not as crowded on that day

Great day, 6 more weeks before I can go, thanks for another great video.

Man, what an awesome day of fishing! You are so blessed to have great fisheries nearby. We are blessed as well here in Michigan with the great lake tributaries. Thanks for another nice video.

[@KingJammer]

Wow! Epic day. I really enjoyed the video.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

[@Winkiedoodles]

Bill, a "bit of redemption" was the understatement of the decade. You had wind beneath your wings with all that excitement, and I bet it really made the wading and hiking less burdensome. Be sure to annotate this great trip in your journal. It was outstanding so BRAVO! Beautiful, beautiful fish. Congrats, Don

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks Don i appreciate it ✌ i was overdue for a real good day

Haha, I just thinking that when you said it, think you're being watched, "Squatch", it sure looks squatchy around there, I know or heard at least that NY is full of Squatch's ( or Boogers as what I call them). Well, long as they don't bother you, right? Absolute redemption Bill, I'd say, good deal buddy 👍👍! Stay safe out there bud! Shoot, Bill we all repeat ourselves especially when we get older, I catch myself repeating stuff twice, all the time too. Geez! 🤙🤘✌️

Definitely did not disappoint! Just went to Burt yesterday and haven’t had a float drop. everyone else around has caught plenty full of steelhead, and I’m still sitting on a giant goose egg. You should fish Burt one of these days, so I can definitely not copy your technique 😉😉

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks man ✌ i might hit Burt in a couple weeks if the water gets back to at least 2' visibility - should be some big fresh spring fish soon

@@BillMikesAnglingAdventures what sizes bobber would you recommend? I’ve been currently using 11.0 gram Raven balsa floats. I’ve been feeling like I have overdone it in size

[@wnysportsman]

Awesome day man! I’ve never fished a tributary that looks like that for steelhead, more reminiscent of an inland trout stream with the log jams and deep pools. I’ll make my way out there some day.

thanks man ✌ tough to get them in with the logs

Real good trip. It appears that in the area you fished; not much pressure by other anglers. And they are eating good, as their size showed us. Bill, maybe there is a CNA Medical service, that can provide guys like you, a cna that like to fish. Who can help out seniors like yourself making the trip easier.?? Appreciate you taking us along. 🏞🎣
