I go over the options available for fishing salmon in small rivers. I cover centerpin, baitcasting, and spinning reels, as well as line, floats, and leader material.

I'm glad you liked it. Not very in depth, just an overview.

They make a spinning reel with a free-running spool, hit the button and the spool rolls. I'm like my bait casters though, I've had the same Abu's for a few decades. You are on point about mono, there's a lot of stretch and shock-absorbing, braid is pretty unforgiving.

I'm excited about the video on why coho bite. So far this season I have only got one to bite lol.

Your experience is normal. This time of year it's possible to run into a hungry school of them and limit out, but most people don't get one every time out. I've had several on, haven't even landed one. The video is already filmed, I just have to edit. Give me a day or two.

My first time fishing the Vedder in over 7 yrs was Friday. Brought my 7wt , float rod , and ml spinning rod . Caught fish on all. Hatch coho on croc, and pink jig under a short float, on a spinning reel. First year not just using fly rod. And another hatch on sunday on my 6wt floating line pink fly

A spincasting reel is the reel little kids use that goes on top of the rod like a baitcast. The last rod/reel you pointed out is a spinning reel. Daiwa Regal 3000 is a super reel. 22lb drag and never breaks. At $80 it’s a smoking deal. Good video Petr!

I guess it's called a spin casting setup, but the reel is a spinning reel. I don't even remember exactly what I said. It's a long monologue to do without any mistakes. Thanks for the clarification.

@@petrhermanadventures9509 all good. I used to work at Cabela’s and people would ask for a spin casting setup and then get mad when I showed them the spincasting rod and reels. 🤦‍♂️

We see you explaining the tackle, but can we see you actually use the tackle to catch the fish???

@petrhermanadventures9509 10 ай бұрын

It' is not my intention to show you fishing videos. I think it has a bad impact on the sport where the video gets filmed. I don't want to blow up spots. Sure there might be a bit, but I have to be smart about where and when.

Is 100 yd of 20 lb braid with mono backing enough for the Vedder? Will any fish take me to the backing? Thanks.

@petrhermanadventures9509 4 ай бұрын

I fish mono with backing. I only spool on 40 yards or so, never had a fish take it to the backing. If you want to fish braid, I'd recommend 40 pound braid with 10 to 15 foot mono bumper on the sharp end. I prefer mono for float fishing because it's more elastic and I lose fewer fish, but for jigs and spoons I use braid because I get better casting and hook set.

@petrhermanadventures9509 10 ай бұрын

Yes it is! But a 25 pound chinook barely fits in there.

@Ihtiandr13 10 ай бұрын

Why cant i have a heavy line but the leader matching the rod specs? Is there anything wrong with this set up? I mean the braded lines are pretty thing to work with. So i got the thicker one for convinience but it's double weight of the rod. But the leader is 10lb.

@petrhermanadventures9509 10 ай бұрын

There is no problem with running a heavier line. The rating just tells you what weight the rod was designed for. Most people run a 10 to 20 foot mono bumper on top of their braid so that they don't leave main line in the river if it gets hung up.

Petr; you are missing the single hand fly, switch and spey? :) The fun starts when you have to decide what to take, otherwise you end up carrying 5 rods and the landing net! :)

@petrhermanadventures9509 10 ай бұрын

when my freezer is full, then I might start playing around with the starvations stick. It always looks so beautiful, but I don't ever see the fly guys carrying fish home. Ok, I'm joking around but there is some truth to it.

Interesting video. Centerpin might be a fun fly fishing-adjacent technique I'd like to try sometime. Do folks ever use flies in any of those gear setups instead of eggs/beads?

@iancollings5047 10 ай бұрын

Typically not the flies you are used to, but those big balanced leeches I showed you, some people call them jigs, like the one he showed in the video. :)

@petrhermanadventures9509 10 ай бұрын

Yes, it's definitely possible to drift flies under a float. Coho like brown muddlers, blue attractors with flash and salmon egg immitation patterns. Easier to get flies into strike range this way too.
