you don't have to say "im no expert." We know you are just presenting the very basics, and its appreciated. Keeping it simple is the best way to go.

I've been a stealhead/salmon bum since 1980 , went the whole route , small creeks to big rivers to ocean used everything from drifting eggs to fly fishing my own flies , trolling , bobbers , all of it , everything ... moved to Alaska and bought a boat and chartered for 5 years Back in the pacific northwest now ... simple catches more fish than a guy deserves you are fishing high quality gear and using alotta finese you catch plenty of fish Your more expert than 80% of the guys out there fishing quite apoligizing , I'd fish with you ... Good vid

Love it! First drift....that's my son❣️

I live on lake Erie, Monroe Mich. I used your set up from this video and caught my first steel head EVER! 4 lb hen! Thank you brother!

A quick tip, if you find yourself getting a lot of line twist add another micro swivel above your float! really helps but it does drag in the water so its a personal preference but i don't fish without it since i was shown! Keep up the awesome videos!!

Hahaha I just found this video today and it's hilarious 😂😂 so cool to see the progress of your channel! Keep it up! I just got my first pin rod and can't wait to try it on the Vedder river in Canada

Another good video fish fray!! Boom first drift!

And can i get the exact pin drop on google maps of that first hole

Nice video man. I’ve seen a lot of steelhead videos, it’s my first year trying, and this was much more relatable and simply put. Really helped , thanks !!

Great video! Awesome hookups and your rigging tips were clear and straightforward. Headed up to Niagara River in a few weeks for steelhead - looking forward to using these methods. Thanks for sharing!

As long as you get hook ups like you do keep on being a non-expert I love it

I have the same pin, but I upgraded the bearing to Boca Bearing Abec 7. Super easy to do and it spins way more freely, even on super slow current...

I know some guys who make centerpin rods and the one guy I’ve seen had a 18 foot centerpin for fishing dams for salmon

"He'll be fine he's a skipper" lmao love the accidental drops! 😅🤣

very simple yet thorough, amazing video

I can't believe you have only 8.9 thousand subscribers but your content is great I know by the end of the year you will have at least 60 thousand subscribers

Great river, I wish one day I have a chance to fish in this type of rivers with my unique style of fishing which we use to do in our place. I use to fish with a rod of 20 feet, it would be great in this type of river. Great catches though man...

Nice video love the setup and holy crap a sick chromer on the first drift

Thanks kid ...I havent centerpin in awhile ...u got me going again on using the pin 👍👍

I am new to Center pin myself I have a TFO 12'9" and a Okuma Aventa reel. Would love to use it more often I am addicted.

Hi I just started fly fishing and your vids really help

Hey there, i think we met on the Vermilion River today...congratulated you with a fist pump. That you? Kirk

BIG RIVERS like how they have it in B.C. - 13 to 15', small creeks and small rivers like how we have it here in southern East Ontario - 11 to 12ft rods...... also the pin diamater helps as well 5" for big rivers, 4 to 4.5" for small rivers for faster retrieve

I don't know if you already have a video on this but would love a how to video on how to set up gear for fishing steelhead, brown trout, and salmon, as well as the best times of the season to catch them in Michigan. Oh and also the best gear to handle each type of fish and its surrounding (small river, smaller rod, or etc) Thanks so much

Great video, I'm getting ready to head up north this weekend for trout opener.

Cool video. I want to learn the art of catching a fish when you don’t even expect it, mid sentence. Haha-great one.

Keep away from that re-usable shot. The “fins” create line twist in the current. Bloodrun round shot is the way to go. Also run your heavy shot directly under the float. Then taper down with smaller shot to match float size. Nice video!

Take your auto iso off, and get the right exposure with histogram, awesome video man.

Wondering if you can answer this. 1 can you drift with spinning rod? 2 can you tie a fly to the end of the tippet/leader instead of eggs or bead

company has been around forever, great products for the money

Awesome video man. Great editing too.

That was a fun to watch, great video. . Nice and easy and sweet fish. Don't be so humble .. expert. Nice job.

Try the wingless splitshot, I find the removable ones twist my line like crazy.

awesome video man! going steelhead fishing early in the morning myself!

Is this the rocky river??

Fantastic man, don’t know why you don’t have as many subs as Jon b. I am interested in that rod though, what type is it?

That first drift had so much anticipation lol

Dude you were slaying them. I like your style!

You are very good at video editing, can you do a video on how to set the depth of the float ? Thank you

Hopefully this works I went wading in EUCLID creek today for steelhead hooked up with one and lost it

nice one, love a first take!

You're too modest dude. Great video.

what he doesn’t show is all the times he breaks off and snags 😂

Have u ever fished Niagara River? Do you think 11’ or 13’ would suit best?

My home river, the steelhead fishing is so bad that you could leave a camera on all day long with fisherman coming and going and you wont see any fish hooked.

Awesome Job.... How deep you Rigged 4 ?

Awesome video man, and you killed em!

Where did you get that pink bead u where using?

Nice video as always, keep up the great editing! I initially questioned whether it was necessary to include such a long speech about your views on planned parenthood, but you made some really cohesive points about the degradative moral effects being offset by the reduction in social pressures caused by the reduced birth rate. I liked the part where the bobber downed!

Where's this at? I'm gonna go to Grand Rapids and Grand Haven in a couple weeks to do some steelhead fishing. DNR reports say they're starting to go nuts for beads.

Nice work fella. Some good action there. Keep em wet.

My first thought was "There's no way this brotha filmed an intro multiple times to make this happen" haha

U just got a new subscriber

Woahhh buddy...Callin' your shots!

Is this in usa?

The first drift like boss

Great intro. It supports the saying that if you are first to a good spot in a river and you do hookup on the first or second cast it is time to move on or improve your presentation.

Well presented. Like the bead tricks. Saves on a bunch of roe bags too. American or Canadian waters?

So for the float so you have to set a depth?

The first few seconds after casting ... *crickets*... Lol! Nice catch though!

Sooo much fun! Your videos got me interested, so I found time to hit up a couple rivers along the lake and land a couple chromes myself for the first time. I was just using my 7’ spinner. Definitely see the value in the centerline and extra length. Perfect intro man, keep it up! When do you usually see them move back to the lake? I’d like to get back up again.

I always watch your videos and like steelhead fishing myself. I was wondering what state and creek is this at?

Whats the flashing lights from?

Great video!!

That's betsi river right

nice rainbow trout.

Excellent fly fishing video! Great educational piece as well keep up the great work!

Good video and nice fish! I want to get a center pin, just a little intimidating.

Never thought to just tie the line to the hook bend!

How deep are the holes at the credit I've never fished there before

Oh yeah, and also, what kind of net is that? A Frabill something or other?

What size shot do you run

My dude your awesome bro!!!

What creek is it?

good video keep it up 🎣

Subd for that first drift call

What happens when you throw a woolly bugger on?

Nice !! Thanks👍‼️

Nice video bro!

I fish the coquet in Northumberland England. We have a decent run of seatrout but it's hitty missy as it's a backend river and if the rains don't come in time the fishing is very poor. The seatrout over here are obviously Brown trout and some spawn and return to sea and come back the next year much larger. Do the steelheads do the same? Ps great vids.

Awesome video! Are you running your leader a little longer then the actual depth on that dropper bead?

What beads do you use

Nice video ! you are good !

How much for the waders and what brand are those

why is your centerpin rod so short?

At least you didn't drift over 4 or 5 other fisherpeople like most other centerpinners.

What kind of rod and reel is that? Nice man

what kinda net do you have?

Is that is conneaut by the route 20 bridge

Do you thinks it’s possible to drift fish salmon and trout with medium heavy bass rod? I’ve seen a lady at Oak orchard catch big ones with an Ugly Stick rod, not sure the reel but what do you think

Nice work, very informative! Do you tip those marabou jigs with anything?

Bro, what video editing program do you use? I'm starting to put together videos and am having a hard time finding something that works well.

Nice dude. Come fish the pnw!

Love the intro

I was getting pumped for deer season, but your videos are making me want to try fly fishing this fall instead!

Im looking to buy a new centre pin reel and saw you have the okuma raw 2, i was wondering if you liked it and if it is a good pin

That is awesome

Yes the length of the rod helps your line stay connected to your float but that's not the only reason the rod is longer! 🤦‍♂️

What type of line do you use on the centerpin . like ur main line

What rods that?
