Buddy, what I can tell you is out of all of the videos that I watch , you are the best describing and teaching skill are the best , Thanks for making these great videos and I learn alot from them

this is beyond a thumbs up! this fish has always eluded me and was intimidating because i didn't know where to begin. you empower us all with the knowledge you share. thank you nick!

Dude, I have to commend you, you prensitation is priceless. You have narrowed this video to the basic's for the beginner... Thanks

Nice video Nick, very "informative" as always. I live along the Clearwater river in Idaho. We use a lot of the same techniques that you showed. A popular way for drifting out here has been to use a simple plastic bead instead of roe. 1/0 octopus hook, an inch of yarn through the egg loop, a large plastic bead pegged with a rubber band, 3-4 foot leader, a dab of scent on the bead. I also love bobber fishing, I use a snap swivel through bottom of the bobber instead of running the line through it. Simply run the line in the end of the swivel instead of the bobber makes it much more sensitive to a soft bite. Totally Floatatious!

I appreciate you taking the time to write that. Keep me posted on how you do when you do decide to try it! Make sure to check out the show on facebook too, I post progress on episode and do giveaways.

Thanks Glen, lots of new episodes coming!

Great info thank you! Exactly the sort of information I wanted! Well done sir

Thanks Andrae!

I love your videos man. Thanks for putting out the effort, getting out on the water and going HAM on the fish. Thanks brother

Thank you Ricky, I appreciate that!

The scenery where you are fishing is gorgeous, like something you would see in old west movies from the 50s/60s.

True to your name, very informative

I fish steelhead in the willammette valley of oregon and have found that in the summer 6lb cameleon made by maxima i know they are not P-line but still great line it also seems like the fish do not see it or detect it as much as "clear line" in the winter i use 8lb green izorline this line again is not P-line but works great and is very cheep. I have found over the about 10 years of steelheading that spinning rods that are 8'6" medium to light action works great for drifting i suggest lamiglass

I've never fished steelheads before but very interesting and with the info I just learnt, think I will make it a point to make that happen. You couldn't have said any more simple than this and what i love about your video's, Anyone can learn them no matter what level their at. Fantastic video

Thanks Bill!

Thanks James!

Thanks Micahael

Thanks Zeauz!

love the vids nick thanks a lot

I love seeing fish caught and released

Good job Nick. I enjoyed it.

great video and great step by step format guys

Thanks Stefano!

This video made me subscribe.

Nice!

Informative fisherman, you must do more of these :p I'm a big fan of you're channel and always have been! Hope to see more of these in the future :)

Nick: Just watched your steelhead video and as usual, a great job with the rigging explanations and demonstrations on the video. Now I know what mending is! Anyway, great job!

i like your video-and your detail- great job-thank you

Great video, I'm heading this weekend to Trinity River!

Great info, thanks for sharing!

Thank you

Great video!

Thank you for the vids keep em coming

i think its time for another steelhead vid!

Always had good luck for steelhead on small bay shrimp you buy in supermarket.

It's my first year salmon/steelhead/brown/trout fishing and I've already caught and landed 100 plus but of course being my first year I lost a lot also, but I make my own Mariboo flies but I mainly use yarn and I still kill me but great video imma sub, and I see PLine I love the moss Green it's strong and barely breaks on me..!

It's a beginner fishing rod for pan fish for the most part. I don't think of any fishing setup as good or bad as long as your out fishing and catching fish with it. Would I suggest it for this type of fishing? No I would not.

Awesome video 🤙

Nice vid, keep up the good work.

Like your video. I remember I came up with a word once, everybody laughed then I heard it in a song. I am going to try using "Floatatious" in a sentence everytime I talk about line. haha again I enjoyed the video

Very informative one

Cheetos XXTRA Flamin' Hot... Your the first person to notice, good eyes!

Helpful tips

nice

thanks for the tips man, appreciate it :D

what river is this

Nice!!!

sorry if i missed this part but have you mentioned what size or rod/reel to use for kind of fishing you are doing here?rowing, drifitng

quick question, for river fishing salmon on a bottom drift setup how long should a leader be for clear water? typical setup would be mainline to swivel, slinky weight leader and corkie/hook, some people here like 6ft+ leaders, is it really necessary?

Yes, that line is VERY FLOATATIOUS lol

Steelhead is by far my favorite fish. I guess growing up on the columbia river and near many tributaries I never considered it an advanced fish. Just bank plunk with a spin glow sit back and wait for the bell to ring.

do you not use a float with the slinky//???

What size liter do you use with that hydrofloat 20lb??

What part of the river did you guys fish

Is a Zebco 202 slingshot a good fishing pole?

Nick, I love your video's, but the way you guys were over handling that native Steely Dan made me cringe. Up here in the NW we really try to touch them very little.

Hey brotha man where can I purchase everything that's on you vlog thanks

question. How do you know the difference between a rainbow and a steelhead?

So "Steelhead basics" is'nt for beginners ....must be a tough sport

I know all these spots lol

I dont think a leader is necassary. I have caught literally tons of steelhead with 8-lb main line all the way to a octopus hook. I prefer to use the clear sheffield/black bird floats or balsa wood black sheffield floats but a pack of the cork 3 for a dollar floats work just as well.

Can you buy roe? If so where?

lol

yessssssssssssss first comment

Talk about beating a dead horse! Jeez.

I have caught rainbows bigger than these.

A steelhead is a migratory rainbow trout, it does not mean it goes to saltwater

Voice get Lost in that Music!!!! Really do we need the Music ? how about a Egg cure video form you???does the bait lead the weight system or the weight lead the Bait when drifting downstream????

Makes a basics video. Says it’s only for advanced. Yawn.

Why do you blink so much?

Sure don't like to see native fish being handled and taken out of the water. You should be more professional. Mark

Steelhead don't eat eggs they just put them in their mouths and kill the eggs as they see them floating down the river

"thats a wild fish right there" as he holds it out of the water... don't be stupid.. I hope you get fined
