Good to see Marlin doing a tutorial, think your hookup was definitely karma! So many things that seem simple but take years to pick up, always good for a refresh and to help new people out. I’ve yet to catch a winter, but for salmon if I’m keeping fish I like to have a way to carry the fish to make it more comfortable. Weather a simple rope/stringer or the ol addicted bag. Thanks for all the content and great products

Thanks Marlin!! One bit of gear I've added to my arsenal is a Mustang MIT 100 life jacket, in camo of course. I do a lot of solo bank river fishing and get into some "sketchy" areas. This minor bit of safety kit should be worn by all of us for many reasons. You guys can easily partner with a supplier and promote more river safety. I grew up rafting many NW rivers and have so much respect for Mother Nature, especially after flipping and wrapping rafts. Stay safe and Tight Lines!

All of your Okuma recommendations are spot on. I never deal with warranty issues. I just suck it up. I broke a few GSP Okuma rods my fault, so they just sat. Then a new Okuma X rod started losing the eyelets, so I contacted Okuma. Not only did they send me a new X rod but made me a great deal to fix the other two GSP rods I broke. Best company out there. Their no hassle warranty is true. Great recommendation Addicted Fishing.

I’ve literally been doing this exact process. Hoping to go to Michigan and catch a first steelhead with my 17 yr old son. I’ve been researching for about 5 months hard. Stockpiling gear and bait/lures/knowledge. I follow the chain of researching broad then clicking every extra link and branching out. Locals help a ton. Joined hundreds of fb groups, insta accounts, email lists… research the best bait shops in the area. Do they have boat rentals, guides, etc. USGS helps a TON. Fishidy and Fishbrain. Have 20 plus fishing apps. I love this rabbit hole!
