Day two in ALASKA! On a mission to catch a fish of a lifetime on a Fly Rod! We found them in 10 inches of water!!! Merch, tackle, 2022 St. Fair, caps, hats, cups and more at www.fishermans...
Great Alaskan adventure. My dad (God rest his soul) would fly fish up in Alaska and the great NW. Thank you for the vlog. Happy Mother's Day to your mom and to all of the moms out there.
man theres no better way than to have your first steelheading experiance with some real good friends in a sacred place! thankyou for sharing matts! keep slayin bro!
I love that cabin!!! I flew out when I worked for one of the airlines to hunt deer. What an amazing cabin, I won’t leak the deets. I thought it looked familiar when I saw it in the first video. We got dropped off on the lake. We caught some very nice trout and I also hooked into a late run silver salmon in November. I’ll end up going back, be sure to write in the log!
Thank you for doing our Alaska justice! Really enjoy them catch and cook vids. If you ever need a Local Alaskan to show you around for more places to check out, fishing and otherwise, let us know!
fly casting catches are very special to me. I’ve learned from a pal who’s been obsessed for +30 years. he’s advised that you have to be patient & put in the time…like everything else, building hours leads to successes that come more frequent. it’ll happen for Matts this trip & when it does, we’ll sure as hell see it light him up.
Sorry for the prior remark about filming your whole Alaska trip. This is total poetry in motion. I love it. I have never used a fly rod and only use one lure for trout. On another thought. There are only a couple wild animals that go after deer, so be watchful and take care. Thanks for continuing your trip on video.
Many, many things I love of your show but just came to say that transition from the trout cleaning and the oil frying sound that went on prior to the pan shot. Honing yo skills every bit along the way. Thank you man, superb content.
When fly fishing for steelhead, you want to cast down stream at about a 45 degree angle to the opposite bank. This will allow for a more optimal swing, allowing the fly to swing in the deep water as well. You would be super surprised where they are as I’ve caught them in water as shallow as 6 inches and as deep as 10-15 feet. Pink, purple, and blue are super hot colors for steelhead. Check out some intruder style flies, as they like to attack their prey from the rear. The dirty hoh, Senyo AI, hobo Spey, and intruders worked well last time I was in Alaska.
Yo I’m a guide up here in Alaska. Love that spot. But you don’t need 8lb. You can run a lot heavier. Plus you don’t need to play em so much. And swing the bead after the dead drift. Trust me it works. N thanks for not talking about the spots name.
Matts just received some of your beautiful merch, thank you so much! Went out surf fishing yesterday and caught some nice fish here in Ventura CA. Got your ball bearing swivels and had a lot of success with the 40g jigs. Thanks again bro
@@FishermansLife Done and done. Bro I hope you know how much myself and my friends look forward to each and every video you put out. You have made an impact on a lot of people's lives for the better. Bless up you and your fam
You need to hit them when they cone into the river in the fall after the salmon. More likely to take a fly and when hook one the silver lightning bolts are out of the water more than they are in.
Your trout fishing adventures are always a blast to follow trout fishing season just started over here! Caught some wild brook trout right in the middle of the city in my last video/ adventure gotta love it only thing better would be if more kids my age would fish!!!!
Was your butter fish fry famous? i think it's 6-7 years past, as I can remember, I was young buy that that, I had amazing memories with your videos, lot of adventure, i think now i already got old , i watch every video of you, happy to see you again, that was some good memories with your adventurous videos,.
Come fish the Upper Peninsula OG Michigan great streams and rivers especially to the north you’ll get some nice trout and salmon here even if you fish Lake Superior
Hey people! I just recently started RU-vid and uploaded my first few videos, more to come. If you like outdoors, fishing and camping videos, you might wanna give it a try. Thank you so much and have good one!
I just love how Matt is the total opposite of this puritan fly fisherman. I think some of my friends would physically attack him for using a sinker with a fly rod, lol. There's aspects about the snobbery of fly fishing that is just wildly bizarre. The strict "myth" rule system surronding it has this intense appeal to certain people. It's really the weirdest thing.
It's just so much easier.... I've spent 4 years trying to get a steelhead on my fly rod in my local area. Can catch couple a day with floater and spin cast. There's something to be said about building your own streamer fly.... then catching the iconic fish on it.
@@cjmeyers2926 Dude, I'm talking about the guys that argue that using nymphs isn't fly fishing. It's only casting upstream, only dry flies and no help landing the fish. It's completely ridculous but it's just this snobby thing a certain type of people love to love.
11:45 -Man I could just taste that skin. Awesome fish ...Steelhead. They used to run in Walnut Creek (and all SF Bay Area streams) too bad I only saw them run a couple years before the Army Corp of Engineers changed EVERY NATURAL CREEK into a sterile CANAL
Aloha, I’ve stayed at a few of the cabins.mcdonald, orchid,and reflection. Great deal and different fishing, just a bitch getting to. Either hike in, boat/hike in, or float plane. The beauty of it is, your the only one there!
These videos are fantastic . Beacuse it's in Alaska great scenery and s great cabin . Let's see longer videos of both 1st day in Alaska and that 2nd day . These are just to short.
Fun to watch! Thanks for posting. Had a couple of thoughts, though. You brought a camp stove, frying pan and spices out fishing but not a net, enough lures or a stringer? Roughing it in new ways? :)
Looking at the Alaskan Department of Fish and Game web site for Southeast Alaska, Ketchikan Management Area, WOW, the rules and regulations are amazingly complex. Anyway, great video and it's good to see you way out in the wild like that having a good time.
Hey man just found your channel. All the strength to you in this world! I a ctually never saw you in the recommendations, which makes me think my videos will never ever show up on any1 screen with just 145 subs. Oh well. RU-vid is a grind right? Anyway greetings from northern Germany. :)
Hey Matt, I try to tell Folks how to pull the Bones out of Trout after they are cooked. They still insist on on filleting them. What a waste😝. The Trout look tasty👊. JO JO IN VT 💕😄
