I am watching this video excited because i fish for them every year. I just cant get over the fact that they didn't use a net. They are man handling these fish. Orvis couldn't get them a net?
Tom fantastic job! I have only tried this type of fishing once in my life so I understand the value of this video as an educational intro. Key learning points are rigging your line and reading the water of these great fisheries. Here is a lesson I learned when I went. Do not be tempted to use a fancy pattern that you brought up from the bottom on a snag! I did, and my hook broke on my only hook-up! A tough lesson to learn and a good one! Wow does it get cold up there!
Ha ha ha! "i'm going to pull on three, ok? One . . ." Pulls the fly out and then, " . . .two, three". I 'get' the strategy (I've seen it before), but I'm thinking that this makes you a comedian – either that or a funny bar steward. 😂 Well done and a good tool to have in the kit. The vid almost has me convinced to make a trip into the US North-east – haven't previously been mixed up with steelhead/big rainbows. Needing guidance . . . In your parts, I've only ever 'dug up' some of your better golf courses. 😉 Merion, Pine Valley, etc., etc. Ssh! 🤫 I'm fairly proficient with a fly in Australia and New Zealand, but . . . Reciprocity maybe?
Tom is always with hid jacket Open, I just noticed, getS my OCD`S jumping

I notice you guys are standing on the bank to do your filming.
Do you have permission of the landowners to be there?
If not, you're trespassing. As a steelhead stream landowner, we do NOT appreciate your trespassing.
Don’t grab them by the gills man come on
