Great video Rod - thanks for recording my first steelhead! It was a great day!!

Thanks Rod, you're not only a great videographer but one awesome fisherman! I'm Always waiting for your next excursion!.

It's a good day when you are Fishing with Rod!

So awesome Rod! Thank you for sharing your experiences and knowledge with everyone. The work and dedication you bring to the angling community has really impacted all of us. It would be an honor for me to tail a fish for you one day

I wish we had programs like this in WA. Get Patagonia off our backs.

I'm brand new to fishing, only caught 1 coho this year, getting super excited to go hit the Vedder this January and get me a steelhead. love the channel so far dude, hope to bump into you on the river!!

i LOVE Nick! i wish we had some more Nicks over here on the east coast of the island where we need more steelhead so badly! none of the hatcheries here spawn them anymore :(

Another awesome video Rod...thank you so much for all your hard work in documenting your adventures!👍

Hey Rod... Awesome ! Steelhead....one of the most beautiful fish to be caught ....Love your narrative ....no arrogance ....your the best! 👍

I started fishing for steelhead this year and didn't manage to hook one this season. Despite that i've learned tons and been able to appreciate the beauty of the river and a lot of respect for the fish. I find the best way to enjoy steelhead fishing is to appreciate that you are out fishing and for me the more times i get out and don't get a fish the more special and more appreciative i will be when i finally do get one.

Beautiful fish! Beautiful river!! Great episode 👌

5:04 the steelhead is the elite fish I agree.

Very cool! Thank you Rod!

We all sat down to watch the video last night! I am glad you got your voice back and could narrate. It was well made, exciting to watch and informative. Although I didn't catch anything this year, it was just my first year and I learned a lot by just walking the river and casting many (many) times. Thanks for all your tips!! I even ran into Nick one time in that very spot where he caught that fish! And you're right about how watching others catch is just as exciting and renews your motivation to keep at it. The kids and I really enjoyed liked learning about the steelhead hatchery program and watching the huge steelhead being landed by the other fisherman. The other day we went trout fishing, my youngest kid caught a fish and lost it just as we're about to bring it into the net. He was so sad but to console him, my other son (7) tells him, "at least you got to hook a fish, don't worry, even Rod loses a fish once in a while." I think it's so cute that they learn so much from you and I hope they will come to appreciate how lucky we are to live here. We can't wait for the pink salmon fishing season and I hope you will have more on that later!

Awesome as always,.. can't wait to get out again and try get my first

He’s such an unbelievably good fisherman. So casual about it

Very fun hangout Rod. Really peaceful out there with just the river sounds. Man that was a whopper steelhead at the end!

Great stuff!

Awesome video Rod! Thanks!

Great episode. I really like the way you work in some educational material in each episode. Teach people to appreciate the complexity of the fishery, and they will be better motivated and better able to preserve that fishery. And as always, beautiful camera and editing work.

Nicely done Rod. Two Steelhead videos in one day. Loved Kitty's video as well.

I love it and that last fish was a beauty! Steelhead have been my obsession for a long time.

Wow that is a awesome video and thanks for sharing it with us...

Some nice fish Rod! Me and my son are heading out there tomorrow after school!

Great videos..I enjoy all your vids thanks for sharing...

Thanks Rod

Thank you Rod!

Going out mid day is better,Rod knows why. Great video,thanks for the upload!!

Great vid rod 👍

Amazing video!

Nice fishing.. I like the place.. Beautiful.. Awesome... 👍

Thanks for the video

Beautiful fish! It was really cool to see how the fish cage works and how the broodstock capture program works! It would be really interesting to see how they breed the steelhead; I am assuming it is different than other salmon. Thanks for taking us on an adventure!

Nice giant steelhead. Congratulations!

Great video. I like your setup (bait cast reel, I have the same, works great). All the best from Ontario.

Rodney!! Another excellent video!! While watching I was wondering how I didn't bump into you, you were in some of my favourite spots often. I sure felt your pain when that 1st one came off, that's painful!! This video made me feel like I was there also, so great to watch. Keep these coming please!

You’re the best!!👌🏾

we love you Nick !

Great thank you

Beautiful country and beautiful finish! Have to catch a steelhead ( preferably wild/ native) someday. Used to live in WA and tried Steelhead fishing several times but never hooked one. Maybe I was unknowingly doing something wrong. Definitely on my bucket list though! So is releasing it safely back to the river👍🏻 Meant beautiful fish not finish but either way love this video😁

I stayed at home to protect other people and own family , if you upload the video earlier, i might cant stop myself go fishing for steelhead... nice video like always!

Hi rod Just curious I have been east for 25 years now. Does the Capilano still get a early run of Jack coho. Small males 3lbs .Doctors pool used to be great first light hole Usually, a short run Easter weekend was usually the prime time. Lots of fun on a noodle rod and great on the BBQ. Love your vids Miss the lower mainland fishing. Your lucky Enjoy every outing. Would love to see you do a vid on that.

Sweet video! Thanks for sharing! Any idea what rod that was he was using!? Looked like it hard some good power to it! Getting older might need a beefier rod!

Rod thank you for all the videos. Really interested in doing some steelhead fishing for the first time this year. Are these spot secret spots? Or can you tell me where they are located on the river? Thank you, Dwayne

Hi do you know where I can find those floats you are using and good video by the way

Kumar needs a lesson from you on how to net a fish, ha. Nice video!

Hello, Rod thank you for sharing your fishing journey on this river. It's been very helpful for me to visit this river each season. How is the winter steelhead fishing from this river. when is a good time to fish?

shout out from Vancouver Rondaboy Travel vlog

Like your video..... 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🐟

12:56 were you using a clinch knot to tie on your hook? Might be time to try out a stronger knot like the palomar, uni, or snell.

Good stuff. CHEERS from SOOKE

Bullseye cast had to be within inches to get picked up just as it hit the water.every once in a while lol

Hey a bit off topic here but im a new to fishing and planning on going to Alouette lake pretty soon here. My question is, is trolling the only practical way to catch fish there? Can you just cast some rooster tail lures in and reel by hand? Will you have any luck this way? Thanks great videos by the way very informative.

Hello Rod, could u link that video of u talking to ur former professor about the state of the salmon/steelhead fishery. I was watchin it a few days ago but didnt finish it and cant find it in my history

Hey rod. I’m planning on starting up centerpin fishing and I’m just wondering what reel you would recommend.

Man love your videos even though I live in toronto not Vancouver!

Good trick I found is to bring a bike to the river and ride up and down the trails to your favourite spots it saves you a lot of time walking and means more time fishing.

Steelhead? Rainbow? Lol ill leave that one to the experts.lol i remember debating if theywere salmon back in the day lmao!

Watching these vids I can't believe how many fish have fresh or healed seal and sea lion wounds.

While you guys may have a very good wild steelhead fishery PA stocks one million steelhead smolts every year and get a return of at least 150,000 adults! Quite amazing.

That’s good fish karma 🎣

Good Brother

What kind of net is that? Thank you!

can we have more videos with Nate this year?

What month

Do these vedder steelhead take spinners?

new subscriber here..nice fishing...when are the opening of salmon fishing in vedder river or frazer river chiliwack. can i join you fishing?

The spot that your buddy wanted to fish looked the best 🤣 “thought we weren’t suppose to catch fish here” haha cmon man learn to read a run!

Looking to purchase a net what kind is yours?
