Steelhead nymphing the Feather River & American River! 

Wow! It's been awhile since I've George aka BOW. Tight lines to you all!

Nick, here in Steelhead Alley, we have the largest number of charmers per square mile! If you are ever in the North East, we will get you into some steel!

So glad to FINALLY hear somebody that knows what they are talking about trout/steelhead and the slime layer and wetting your hands. Nice job Nick!

Great river information guys!!

I always wanted to know how to fish steelhead. Thank you InformativeFisherman.

Good knowledge can't wait to be on water!

Great video Nick! It looked like a blast! Thank you for imparting all of your knowledge and keep the videos coming!

Come to erie Nick! We'll get you into some brownies and some nice steelies! Great work as always man your an inspiration! Sucks we have like 15 inches or more of ice right now waiting for the spring run!

Nice video i leave like 5mins away from the american river in sacramento. Keep the videos coming you should make more bass videos nick! Great job once again!

man I haven't fly fished in almost 2 YEARS!!! I should try it again! great fish and great job!! ^-^

Great Music choice!

Caught several big steelies at this exact place with gude Ron Speroni.

You need to come fish Mead for big striper!

Does using a boat allow you to drift through private land? Or is it public land on the lower American? I'm always confused about this, and it makes it hard to plan trips. Thanks for the video.

Would you ever or have you ever considered going fishing for steelhead or salmon in New York. There are some great rivers and fishing there like the Salmon River, Sandy Creek, and Burt Dam and a lot more. Would like to see you go up there

Up in Washington State, (where Steelhead is king) we had a lot of spit hooks after hookups also. It's a Steelhead thing. We would be using conventional gear with eggs and spinners, and they would still spit 'em half the time. Great video and MAD props to those "Fly Guys".

Being so or too technical with fly fishing, scares a lot of newbies away from the sport of flying fishing, and I'm a fly fishermen.

Hey Nick, When are we going to see a Fly Fishing video on catching Stipers? We have been catching some hogs on the Clouser Minnows in your neck of the woods..

Nice vid!I get so pumped when you post a new vid! One question, do you know where discovery park is in sacramento? If you do do you have any tips for someone going out this weekend? my grandfather insists on going for steelhead but i keep telling him its over. But what about stripper and or largemouth what are they doing this time of year. If you were going to go out there what would you do?

low water and nymphing....best way to fish trout in late summer

Lots of good FF info buried in this video..."hammering the nail"...hook setting on downstream drifts...Six-weight rod good enough for steelhead...California has it all

hahaha... stumbled across this one, Big George! go see him at Fly Fishing Specialties, he's boss.

bobbers/// why not just hardware fishing?

Who can take me I’m paralyzed

Has centerpinning for steelhead taken off in California yet? It is very popular in the streams and rivers entering the Great Lakes. It is by no means fly fishing in the traditional sense, or for that matter, any sense. It is just a a long 12' - 15' flexible rod with either a fixed reel seat or sliding rings, a reel that looks like a really big fly reel but it has at least one, and sometimes two, ball bearings that the spool spins on effortlessly. You add a float, a couple of bobber stops, a couple of micro Raven swivels, a shot string, and your choice of fly or single eggs. The speed of the current pulls line off of the spool and you can get drag free floats of 100' long if you want an no one is below you.

Hi Nick can you please tell me what kind of filming gear you use, all your videos look awesome, I always enjoy thank you..

To bad steelhead fishing this season is kinda over, it was good but at the same time wasn't that good of a run if u know what I mean , I noticed it is way slow now , now it's on to the sac river for sturgeon and stripers , great vids nick and fish on bro

Don't take the show on the road Nick. There are tons of fishing shows in the Midwest and East side. Your show is legit cause no one does CA. If these guys wanna see larger steelhead all you gotta do is hit the Eel River, trinity, Klamath, etc. doing a great job doing local waters.

you do need a steelhead report card to fish for steelhead right?

The American is literally 10 minutes down the street from me, but im kinda scared to fish it because im not sure exactly what special tags/ cards you need to fish it and i dont want to get in trouble. Can anybody help me out?

I've never fished your rivers for steelhead but why is it that these fish you are calling steelhead look pretty much exactly like resident, non migratory, rainbows I catch pretty much anywhere in Montana or back east on the Delaware River. The steelhead I catch in Lake Erie creeks are dime bright when they enter the creeks and when they get colored up they get very dark not like these lighter colored fish with pink stripes.

Why are you releasing the fish? Do you guys just want that feeling of CONQUERER? EAT THE DARN THINGS, and if they aren't edible, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!! WWG1WGA
