Check out www.salmonriverguide.com for one of the best experiences you’ll ever have. Shane and his son David will put you in some monster fish while other boats watch

Dave's NET SKILL'S are On Point!

As an avid steelhead fisherman in Michigan and a fan of your channel, this was awesome to see! Thoroughly enjoyed.

Dude, that is one of the best reactions I’ve seen from momma clams

I lost my Mom to Alzheimer's, but she loved to eat my meals when I cooked for her. It's so great to see you and Mamma Clams in your videos! Either with Erin and Madeline or Mamma Clams, all of it is great!

DANG that river is rippin! Beautiful fish!! Guide is a beast with that net..lol

Really great fishing for steelhead. Great recipe with the miso saki glaze.

I absolutely love watching your videos!!!

Thank you brutha! Seeing you spoil your mama just warms my heart! Nice vid too!

Will, part of the reason the fillets on Lake Ontario Steelhead aren't bright pink is because of their diet. An ocean run Steelhead from the west coast eats a diet of mainly shrimp , which causes their meat to turn the pink hue. In Lake Ontario, the main forage is minnow based; Alewife, smelt and emerald shiners. Years ago, when Lake Ontario was first stocked with Steelhead, their average size was way better than it is today. Fish up to 20 lbs were fairly common. Today, with stocking and breeding occurring locally, the average size is way down. If you want a truly exceptional trout fishing experience, come further west to the Niagara River. It is absolutely amazing and 20-30 fish days are not unheard of. I have lived nearby the river and have fished it for 40 years. PM me if you want to come up.... and bring Keywest Waterman with you!

Yum, great time, glad your channel is growing, almost 22k. I grew up upstate and trout was a fish you hoped you caught. my largest was a brown 28".bice job will!

Shane and David are the best

I just Love Momma Clams !!!! She is 100% Honest in Her appraisal of anything you cook.... And as always you have left me Hungry with nothing to eat ...........

Beautiful place to fish! I’ve been there fly fishing and it was a blast. Couple tips if you go. 1. May want to leave the dog home. When the salmon spawn they die and sleeping next to a dog who has rolled in 20 dead fish is not pleasant. 2. Be cautious wading the current is strong and the rocks are slippery. 3. You’ll likely see several bear, which is pretty cool! If you want to fish actual Lake Erie hit me up Clams!!!

From snow to flames. Great alchemy

Captain B’s sent me over!

Momma clams is so sweet and genuine. Makes me miss my mom

I’ve been looking forward to this vid after you showed that lunker off on insta last week!

Right off the rip I’m loving that cabin!

Happy New Years and all the best in 2024 to the Clams Family!!! Beautiful Ep. Brotherino! Deeeelish!!!

Yea Boy, been ready for the new Video!

21:54 don’t worry about the color that’s a great fish, our brains are broken from the dyed stuff at stores. Also if you are worried about leaving some on the fish and enjoy learning try the butterfly method for fileting, tried it last night on a 14in rainbow and it was incredible.

Salmon river is awesome!

Will I’m so happy that your channel is crowing I remember when I joined you when you had probably less than 1k subscribers Happy new years God bless you an mama clams 😊 wish you both else but the best for you and your future

My husband and I really enjoyed this video. Fish looked delicious and love seeing Momma Clams. Watching from Ontario Canada.

Mixing it up with steelhead! Looks delicious.

Love the video! You are cooking in my wheelhouse.....cook some king oyster and bok choy on the grill with a little seasoning and some hickory smoke! Did that several time this past summer, delicious! Bok choy in chicken noodle soup is amazing too! Great to see the old Weber hanging in there......set it up with a direct and indirect side....you will be surprised! Happy New Year to you and your family!! Safe travels!

Epic video so beautiful! Happy Holidays to you and Momma Clams ❤

Blew my mind too, never knew that there were any Salmon or Steelheads in N.Y.!

wow brother...you were right next door. I would have taken you...I am on the shore of lake ontario between Niagara falls and rochester. Great stuff!!

Great looking meal as always Will. That second fish was absolutely massive. Tell Mama Clams we love her.

Never been. We have them here in Idaho.... again never been love it man!

Wow! Looks great! Happy holidays mama Clams!

After your last q and a video it all makes sense now. I was always very impressed with your knowledge of Asian cuisine, not knowing that you were a professional chef. You should never let that cat out of the bag. 😂

Aloha. I forgot, congratulations!

Dude, you cook up such amazing dishes! It looks soo delicious! Thank you for such an amazing video, as always!

Well Will you’ve out done yourself buddy👍fantastic looking fish and a beautiful place to fish. my mouth is watering just watching you and your mum tucking in 😁😁😁😁

I catch all the types you mentioned at the beginning in downtown Chicago!

At last something I can relate to with your channel! I fished the salmon River many times when I lived in Syracuse NY. Way back when you caught fish by snagging with a weighted hook I caught a nice steelhead there myself. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

Look extremely delicious. I love to eat home cooked fish. Need to try that one.

Aloha Will. First of all, happy New Years. When I lived on Lanai, I started working at a remote fishing lodge in Alaska. I went up early every season to help get the lodge ready, get my fill of spot prawns and Dungeness crab, and most importantly, to catch a steelhead! Legal size 36”, all wild. Only kept one, but it was delicious. Good on you.

Nailed it.

Mama Clams!!!

Will happy New Year compadre. I just had to rewatch for the miso marinade. I’m gonna try that on some of my sockeye. Looking forward to June!

What a cool experience that must have been Will. You caught some nice Steelies! Beautiful river scenery and an awesome meal. Couldn't get any better!

Super show…one of your best!

Great video Will. Thank for carrying us along and what a great meal you cooked. I’m sure it was delicious..😊

Happy New Year! Awesome experience, I learned something about salmon I never knew. Delicious recipe that Mother Clams likes.

I grew up catching kings in Alcott, NY a tributary of lake Ontario

It’s so pretty up there . Too cold for me but it looked like you had a great time . Awesome video . Your mom is so cute

Hey will and mama clams Happy New Year's will you have done it again it looks delicious and simple to make i love it.

Another amazing video. Happy New Year Mama Clams & Will!!

Beautiful fish!

Ontario NY. Some good ice fishing in the Salmon River area as well. The other end of that lake is the Niagara River. Different type of fishing but just as exciting. Give it a try.

Happy New Year's Will & Momma Clams... That looked so good... & TNX 4, making it look so easy to make... TNX 4 VID LOL

Hey man good...GREAT stuff!! I live in Cape Coral now but had the privilege of growing up in Syracuse NY so I fished that river as a kid and young man religiously. From the spawn of Salmon to frigid weather chasing steelies as you just did. What a pleasure to watch this, thank you!!!

very nice will, cool trip!!!

Nice video - glad you were able to find a few. You are correct about Alaska being great for steelhead (had the privilege of fishing both the Karluck and the Situk two of the world's best) but your trip was epic as well. Neat that you're able to experience so many amazing fisheries. Keep it up.

Great video! Makes me miss fishing in Erie pa but I don't miss the snow and freezing Temps!

That’s looks delicious and healthy

Happy New Year Will & Mama Clams! Happy to see you both!

I don’t know if Dibs watches but he should definitely watch this one.🤙

Props to those captains for rowing in that current!

This really makes me want to head to upstate New York near Lake Erie to catch some Steelhead ….or maybe Lake Ontario 😂. Either way it looks beautiful. Thanks for the video Will, and as always, the positive vibes.

Looked them up and we are planning a trip next year thanks

Looks like a great trip. I will definitely be looking to book one with them this year. Been planning to get up there for the last few years

Dude! You are in my homeland! lol

Another Amazing Catch an Cook Video , Cheers for this Video

Great video Will! This was awesome I’ve so wanted to go steelhead fishing in BC. But this is a lot closer to N.S. We’ve done a bunch of bok choy where we glazed it with a soy sauce mixed with Mizu. But this looked awesome straight up. What an awesome plate of food. Happy New Year to you and yours, especially Mama Clams. Thanks for sharing!!!

Another beautiful informative video!!

Part of the reason two is because when they’re pure hatchery fish, their skins and meat is sorry is lighter when they’re born wild their meat is a lot more orange. I’ve gotten fish a lot older than that and twice the size of that in the Meats been bright orange, so that’s not necessarily true.

Place looks amazing I would love to go

Love your videos sir. Even my wife enjoys watching them with me. And she's a tough nut to crack with fishing content! I live in ohio, and only recently went salmon fishing in New York myself. We fished lake Ontario outside the mouth of the olcott River. Had a blast. Quick question that's a bit off subject. Whats the brand of hat your wearing with the fishing hook G logo? I like the look and cannot figure it out. G loomis and gamakatsu are the only two I can think of! Thanks again for the content!

Today's lesson : SEO pays off

Man I have fished where you launched that boat in Altmar probably 100 times. We go every year for salmon steelies and browns. It’s about 40 miles north of Syracuse and about 4 1/2 hour drive from me. What was the name of the place you stayed at with the cabins I don’t think you mentioned it. We usually stay at a few places on route 13 depending on who’s booked. Tail water lodge has great food at the bar. And hopefully you checked out Fat Nancy’s. Great video man; fish on 👍🏼 Edit: that looked delicious my man 🤌🏼

Mom! 💪

I’m just seeing this video. I live in GA and have taken 50 plus guided float trips in MT, ID, and WY over the past 24 years. When you set off under that bridge, in that drift boat, I felt like I was riding in it. I prefer steelhead trout over salmon too. Better flavor and different texture. I’m going to research your guide and maybe go in the fall. Where would I need to fly in to?

Have to make steelhead fish dip. It’s 🫠🤙🏼.

yewwwww

Thanks for the tip on cooking off the alcohol. Can you follow your nose when cooking with wine as well?

What a great life😎✌️👍

Love your vids. 👍

24:11 is for the ASMR fans. 😂

I actually jumped a bit when I got a Blair Witch sensation at the open of this video 😅

That things got more tail than Jennifer Lopez

I thought trout season opened April 1st in New York?

So I tell everyone I take steelhead fishing for their first time that they will probably lose the first one they ever hook. It’s hard to describe that fight. For anyone interested in some shallow water videos I have a couple old crappy ones on my channel that I put up years ago when KZfaq was a way to share videos because I am not a content creator lol.

Um did you send some to dibbs

I’ll be that guy. Aren’t those fish loaded with mercury and PCB’s. ?

how much you paid to sleep there???

Why don’t you just clean it like you clean the salmon and then do the rib cage after you get the fillets out it’s 10 times easier instead of pulling the pin bones. You can do it just like you do a walleye cut each side strip it pull it out and there’s no bones whatsoever.

Why can’t you get a good knife? Fillet is killing me

Those fish are horrible! Can't believe that kid let you eat that lol , those salmon and steelhead are nothing like ocean run pacific salmon.

TOAO, great video broder.
