Back in November of 2022, I had an idea brewing in my head. As an angler who’s passionate about exploring that next destination, chasing that next species, it's impossible for one fish to stop interrupting that train of thought, Steelhead. The absolute unicorn when it comes to chasing fish with a fly rod. Many could agree or disagree, but my opinion stands that Steelhead are one of the most challenging fish to chase, fool, and then catch on a fly. They are unpredictable, they are grabby, not hungry, and they entice us with ease into playing the most angering mind game.
My buddy Derek Litzsinger and I spent all our high school weekends running off from our parents and sports practices to go camp in the back of the truck chasing trout and steelhead anywhere that sounded appetizing. We loved to explore. We drove 22 hours from Idaho to explore some of the most pure steelhead genes left on this planet. We swung for six days straight and were rewarded. I hope you all enjoyed this video.

“Whatever happens from here, we did it. We did it. This is what it’s all about” Absolutely breathtaking film boys. Proud to be a friend.

Man this reminded me of my brother and I. We spent hundreds of hours together fishing for steelhead and every catch was exciting as the first. 50 years old now and it still gets me excited like I am 13 years old again!!!! Great video boys, enjoy all the time and make more time !!!

Appreciate the stoke. One suggestion: perhaps a net for all the fish next trip?

Only 2 fish, but a trip of a lifetime nonetheless. Nothing better than that tug. Great job fellas.

Great job guys, it's something I too have accomplished with a good friend and will always remember and carry with me until I die! These are things that we as fishermen always dream of and few accomplish, look forward to many more years and adventures with your friend and be safe!

Super jealous. I remember my first steelhead on the swing. 2005, October, on the Clearwater. Caught two fish that trip. One 8 pound fish, one fish pushing 20. So numbed to watch that fishery go downhill over the last 20 years. Congrats. Great trip. Great video.
