It's always a good idea to keep a spinner rod with you, you never know what's going to be lurking around that wants to hit something flashy, awesome fish!
how is that STLHD jacket i was looking at that on the site yesterday and it looks like a nice jacket but seems like its just a softshell style jacket which might not be best in the rain
It is definitely not made for rain, although it could probably hold up to some drizzle for a minute it is definitely not water proof.... But, it is perfect for those cold foggy mornings. I love it
Amazing video! I got a question for you or anyone that has an answer for me. I live near Seattle and was wondering if there’s any good hatchery steelhead fishing nearby? I’ve never fished for steelhead but I’ve caught thousands of salmon albeit mostly pink salmon.
Really wish I could help. I do know that the Olympic peninsula is near by and that's some of the best waters in the Northwest. Good luck on your quest. Hopefully another viewer will chime in!
I'm still trying to find good spots on the river to spinner fish for steelhead. I'm not a noob, I hooked a lot of fish on spinners but I just am wondering what do you think is the best river in oregon to fish spinners?
Bo that's a tricky question. All rivers have their own reasons.... But I would say any river with boulders and 10' or less deep pockets. Although you can fish them in deeper water, it's much easier to find fish in that 4-7' range because the spinner covers so much water
You don't want it to hit... Rather drape down as you keep on the slack. If you're dragging bottom reel faster, if you have quite felt bottom, reel slightly slower.
@TheBite2020 sorry for not being clear. By hit, I mean landing on water. So my question is - cast upriver, build tension as soon as it lands and lower rod to help it sink a bit and start reeling or allow it to land and keep slack, let it sink and then start reeling to spin them blades. Thanks for your response.
