Bored... a video to get you pumped for winter steel
« on: December 08, 2015, 04:30:37 PM »

I was bored today... and I never made a video for my 2014/2015 winter steelhead season highlights, so I decided to put something together to get this winter season kick started.

Just making it has me wanting to get out on the river more.... Hope you guys enjoy! Titled it "Waiting for Winter."

PS, if you recognize any of these island flows, maybe don't say it publicly, and instead chew me out via PM or email  :P I'd also like to remind people that none of this is even remotely recent, so don't go rushing out to find the river are all blown out  ;D

Cheers,
Dan

Well done! I've really had the itch to go out, but as usual, school is in the way. Looking forward to this season and some more videos from you. Some of that water looks amazing.

Novice steelheaders should note how you're staying back and out of the water in the video.  A lot of folks in the same situation would have been out past their knees in the flow making their presence well known to the fish.  Stay out of the water folks!  cool vid.

I did. There is always that one guy who thinks they know where it is, and then decides they need to say where. Regardless of whether it's correct or not, you'll have people flocking to the said system.

I tried to pick clips from my files of last year from as remote flows as possible so that there wasn't much chance of recognition (of course there is the odd not so remote one that I'm sure the odd person recognizes easily).

There rivers, if you get closer than 10 feet to the edge you've blown your chance many times, especially when it's low. It took me a while to figure that out after coming from the mainland, where the fish are so shell shocked that this isn't the case. Typically the mainland flows are also larger and the fish sit out further and are less spooky.
