He designed the Berkley im 7's and 8's steelhead and salmon rods and has worked for Luhr Jensen, Berkley and now Wordens/Yakima baits. A fishing legend !

I like the white 3" worms wacky rigged. I keep them in my spawn sack container in the ooze that way I can switch between the two and the worms smell like the roe. CHOMP!
actually a steelhead is a rainbow trout that lives in a lake and spawns in a river, and a rainbow trout lives in a river and spawns in a river but they both are rainbows!! steelhead turn chrome in lake because of there diet (i think more shad,minnows,ect) and if they go back in the river they will turn back to the rainbow colors because of diet and spawning reasons...
I didn't see the fish bite the worm, its already hook, and also how come the float are different ?????. btw i did catch steelhead with these pink worm.
@elgene1 you need to go to ifish.net and join. its a forum full of salmon and steelhead fisherman from the northwest. i am from portland oregon. go to that forum and introduce yourself in the community area and tell them you wanna get into salmon and steelhead fishing and they will help you out. i am a member and have learned so much cool stuff about fishing and specific rivers i like to fish. look me up on there my moniker is lucasmorter
no offense but y'all don't know shit about this game unless you're drifting with a baitcaster or a centrepin. I've seen Canadian anglers mop up to the limit in 30 minutes uisng these techniques while the other dudes spend all day with spinning gear and 10,000 fruitless casts with spey and fly rods. Look guys, the big leagues of steelhead fishing is in BC, so just do what the pros do and quit wasting your time with these parlor tricks.
I bought the small,pink,1.1.oz glass container of Berkley gulp earthworms a while ago,didn't say anything about being for steelhead.I'll try this idea though!was also hoping they worked 4 pond panfish and ice fishin..please comment back...I used the maggot's and they worked and the crappie n trout nugget's but they fall off way to easy...thank's nice vid...
@freakmaverick i will take ya fishin using this product and tell me it startles fish after i land "pinks,coho,springs,steelhead and trout"all in the same day it is a great product try different ways of putting it on hook and after you put it on right you will catch fish
@hmongboy9161 A steelhead is a larger ocean dwelling type of trout that returns back to the rivers or streams a couple or few times a year to spawn. that's why they are so much bigger and much more fun to catch! there is also redsides. these are basiclly steelhead as well bu are land locked and do not go out to the ocean. Hope this helped
who is the idiot that says steelhead are flossed with flys? clearly you are clueless, when you flyfish for steelhead you swing the fly 6 inches below the surface and they come up on it dummy. you just dont have the talent to flyfish. p.s. st croix rods are shit. sage all the way for fly and drift.
Holy crap you guys!!! We all watched this video because we love to fish and want to learn more about it. Who cares how you fish, as long as you go out there and have fun doing it.
The fish in this video are all fair hooked. The one that is hooked with a jig...the jig head is on the outside of the snout with the hook planted firmly in the inside of the mouth. Buzz is an upstanding sportsman and would not use a accidentaly foul hooked fish for a video. Buzz is a fishing rockstar here in the pacific NW. If you ever get a chance to see his seminars... Do it. You will learn a lot.
it could be worse this could be an advertisment for a 3 ounce treble hook waiting for a great snag. everyone has they own way of doing things and if its legal then by all means it isnt that bad
fucking bait dunkers! Fishing this garbage for such a beautiful fish should be illegal. What a bunch of Bubbas and Jim Bobs! Bait dunkers are a bunch of tools!
I'd rather get skunked on a fly rod the rest of my life that catch a thousand pigs on a bait rig. For the most part, bait dunkers are "POACHERS!"
@psychofishfan Where you fish for steelhead. I am in northwest PA and fish the creeks of lake Erie. I fly fish also and would not chose any other way to fish for these amazing steelhead. Always catch and release.
@paintball227 I fly fish for Steelhead on the American, Sacramento, Yuba, Feather, and Trinity rivers in CA. I live in Truckee/Tahoe area and I'm a commercial fly tyer
@psychofishfan Wow, what a elitist, with that "only what I do is appropriate and nothing else is" attitude, I bet your a real fun guy to fish with. You are the type of guy who gives flyfishers a bad image. Fly fishing has its time and place just like every other method, none is better than the other, in the end its all about getting out there and having fun. Oh and this is not even bait, its a soft plastic which makes it hardware.
@turkey2003 Elitist, yes. After dunking bait in my early years, I realized that you can master a bait rig and there is nothing left to learn. You sit and wait and hope that something bites. How about a challenge? Especially for a fish as great as a a Steelhead. Chucking power bait or worms takes no tallent what so ever. The only thing that you need to know is how to rig up propperly and the rest is pure luck. Fly fishing is a challenge. You should try it sometime and give up the dunking crap....
@psychofishfan I've done my share of fly fishing, not much of bait dunker myself, hate sitting around, but I don't care if anybody else does it and will still do it on occasion. I am and will probably always be a crankbait addict, love tossing them. In my opinion, the real challenge is learning to read the water, the weather patterns and the environment and how that will affect the fish. Once you got some of that knowledge you can usually find willing fish.
@psychofishfan I'd rather have a fish bite my spawn sack, then to floss them with a flyrod anyday... So if you want to call a person actually catching a steelhead biting a poacher, look in the mirror, or better yet where your fish are hooked in the mouth. I'm not saying no steelhead bite a fly, but majority of them are lined.
@psychofishfan also i think your missing the point if you respect the fish so much why fish at all, for sport? seems arrogant, the idea of catching fish is to eat them otherwise aren't you just torchering a "beautiful fish" and interfering with its life for your own petty self gratification or selfish fulfillment of self image I'm pretty sure this makes you Satan...or maybe your right and I'm just a bloody handed heathen

@cr1oss more like a granola crunchin, tree huggin, douche bag. catch and release is and has been a better way to enjoy the "SPORT" of fishing WITHOUT causing serious harm to the fish! Pick up a pole and give it some time. you'll be fishin like a mad man in no time.........and probably get back on here and apologize to everyone for being a retarded douche bag. lol
@kodeykinder20 mwah ha ha ha ...apologize. you make me chuckle sir. You started off strong with ""s and CAPITOL WORDS but then then you got soft and tried to take and educational stand on the moral high ground, and the half hearted profanity at the end just wasn't enough to save you. Steelhead are best used as bait while trolling for sealions!! I"M GONNA CRAP IN A SPAWNING BED!!. (I'm really torqued that psycofishfan is still getting more press then me) this better get your attention, jackwagons
@psychofishfan wow. youre the type of person that gives fly fisherman a bad rep. guess what. i do both. and i love it. if i ever saw you on a river and you called me a poacher for drifting a float and a jig, you'd more than likely wake up with your head laying on the rocks. you'd probably also discover all your gear floating down river and your rod in about ten pieces. i'd still be there fishing of course and making sure i didnt kill you. hell, i'd probably even give you a beer
So Many Experts - So Little Time - Go Fish!! God made SteelHead from the rib of a Rainbow, so all of the experts would have things to talk about around the Fire! They ALL taste good Smoked! Steelhead eat more junk food - that's why they smoke up a little better than a Rainbow! Junk Food = "Little Fat Girlies in the Ocean"! 10-4 BOb.......................
i actually DO fish the great lakes for steelhead quite frequently. ive done research and they ARE genetically identical. ive done some research and found that a certain salt in the ocean and that there are growth hormones are mixed in with it. that is also why fish in the ocean are so much bigger altogether than fish in freshwater. that is my final statement.
a steelhead is a steelhead, not a rianbow that got bored and decided to go to salt, they are genetically diferent because of that,
and mr. walley dude, steelhead get bigger cuz they are steelhead and they go to salt,
geeze it sounds likw you guys are a bunch of great lakes "steelhead fishermen" but its fish from my state that are brought over there, have fun with our rejects
go to google and put in steel head and look for the link for wikipedia one raindbow trout is what pops up not steelhead but just go to the link and read up on it, they are one and the same
how about you actually go look it up or talk to anyone who fishes for steelhead. the only dfferenece between steelhead and rainbows is that rainbows dont have access to the ocean and steelhead are just rainbows that got into a river that leads to the ocean
@stillrob420 Rainbows and Steelhead are the same fish, a steelhead is just a costal rainbow that has genes in it that give it the urge to migrate to larger water, be it the sea or the great lakes. The only reason steelhead are bigger is that their is more food in the ocean (or great lakes) than a small creek or lake. Same reason a king salmon stocked in a lake only grows to a 2 pounds, when a king from the same hatchery stocked in a creek with access to the ocean grows to 20 pounds.
@stillrob420 Wow you are ignorant. I bet you think that kokanee and sockeye are different also. Lol look at it this way. 2 kids one grows up with the same predetermined genes as the other. They are meant to be 5'7 but one has better food than the other. The malnurished child will be smaller. That is the difference between the 2. One is just fed more therefore grows bigger.
@stillrob420@lukelongaker You are dead wrong. Marine biologists have long establhed that steelhead and rainbow trout are genetically identical, @MrWalleyedude's "research" aside. The "andromous" steelhead is larger because in the ocean you become a succesful hunter and grow bigger, or you become something else's meal. Despite the behavior differences and the obvious color differences (different food sources), these fish are the same. Look it up dude.
@lukelongaker "A steelhead is a steelhead, not a rianbow that got bored and decided to go to salt, they are genetically diferent because of that," Congratulations for spelling rianbow incorrectly. And Kudos to you for ending a sentence with a comma! ROFL. You just failed 2nd grade english and Evolution 101 in a single poorly-typed sentence.
mmmmmarcus and andrewh4 : steelhead and rainbow trout are genetically identical. Steelhead simply live in water where they can access the ocean to spawn. however, you are wrong about the name. fisherman originally called it the steelhead because of the steel-gray appearance on the insides of the fish. today, that has dissappeared. no one knows why. also steelhead get larger than rainbow trout. no one knows why this is either.
@andrewh4 Nothing sad about this. This is not a fish that they had captured and then hooked by the nose and let him run for a commerical shoot. Nor is it a fish that was caught in a typical foul-hooking sweep of the rod with a large treble hook, it is a fish that simply went for the bait and ended up nose hooked which is not illegal on the west coast. Furthermore, the fish was released. So, please, while the thought of you using up a box of kleenex over the fish is hilarious... get real.
@jlcls1 my POINT is that if those worms are so good get some REAL non-EDITED footy catching a steelie. Plus im venting cuz i bought some berkely vanish flouro and i lost 2 steelie in one day. SEAGAUR
While these products DO work, dont expect the success these guys are having, as they are likely fishing an area that receives little-to-no human contact. In that situation, the fish are stupid and will hit just about anything. Powerworms are best fished in combination with powerbait. If you use them alone, its best to drop-shot them.
Hey Guys! This is Walleye One Spinner Bag Company...we have a new bag out called The Drifter. This bag is really useful with this concept of fishing. Great video!
Cant believe all the critical comments of Power Worms.... They are all I use, color doesnt even seem to matter. Fish them slow!!! Carolina OR Texas rig these things and reel them delicately and slightly jerk'em a bit. Also you might try putting a dash of garlic powder in the bag and squish the bag around a bit to add extra scent/flavor. Bass LOVE these worms !!!!!
DUDE YOUR RIGHT . THESE PLASTIC BAITS WORK GOOD ONLY WHEN THE FISH ARE STOCKED. thats all. I BEEN FISHING 5 YEARS IN CALIFORNIA AND IVE TRYED ALL OF THESE POWER BAIT THEY ONLY WORK FOR STOCKED FARM RAISED FISHES BECAUSE THOSE FISHES ARE NOT SMART LIKE THEM wild ones are. BUT I GUESS ITS BETTER THAN NOTHING.
Bull Sh*t!!!! All I use is berkely power worms!!!! I always catch somethin from all the various types of Bass, pike and large Crappies. They work extremely well. ***How are you puting it on your hook????
LOOK MAIN I TRYED ALL OF THOSE POWERBAITS AND THEY JUST DIDNT WORK. i just wasted my money I PUT THE HOOK EXACTLY THE SAME WAY IN THE VIDEO. ITS JUST DOESNT WORK I KNOW HOW TO FISH FOR TROUT OR BASS AND I KNOW WHERE THEY ARE BUT THOSE POWER BAITS OF GULP ALIVE JIGS JUST DONT WORK.
Well, no offense at all but your not doing somethin right. Try one of those kinds of hooks designed for worms (cant remember what theyre called right now) where you insert the hook through the tip of the worm then turn it 180 degrees and put it half way through the middle portion of the worm so it is weedless (far less snags) then put a split shot about 8 inches or more above the worm OR use a sliding bullet weight. And just DONT cast it and reel it in - dance it around a bit nice and slow!
Float fishing is only effective in slower water. In faster water the water on top is faster than the water on the botom so your float drags your jig/worm at an unnatural speed....if you fish faster water have it set so your jig is 1 to 2 feet off the bottom....steelhead will move to take it no problem!
I was told by a supermarket employee that a Steelhead is the result of a mixbreeding process invloving a Salmon and a trout, either way they taste fantastic with pepper, Adobo seasoning and some garlic powder in the oven.
Try my own personal batter: Flour (obviously), Funyons crushed up to a powder, a tee spoon of olive oil, AND any kind of Samuel Adams beer (because they use lots of hobs). Put the fillets on a frying pan and I like cooking spray rather than oil!!!! Try that believe me!
mmmmarcus, a steelhead is not a rainbow trout, it is a steelhead. What I mean is that while considered a rainbow trout it is a migratory fish thus it is not a stream rainbow trout, but a steelhead. Plus, a wild fish is the opposite of what you say. A wild fish is not dumb, it just hasnt seen 100000s of roebags and worm creations drift by its head countless times. Its stocked fish that you can catch on less exact imitations.
Yeah yeah, you thumbed me down, and want to annoy me, whatever. A steelhead is a rainbow trout that has migrated to the ocean. When Rainbow trout run out to sea, they lose most of the spots on their body, save for the top of the back, and develop a more silvery appearance, especially around the operculum.
hence the name, "STEEL-head". In some populations, Like the great lakes, the change is stimulated by the similarity of these lakes to the ocean And that's my final statement. fag
ya i thought it was a stupid thing to say but they will bite down on the end were there is no hook and hold on for a while then let go, that what they mean.
technically, fish do let go before the hook is set on some bait. that's why you'll get a bunch of hits, but no fish. The key is to get them to think it's bait, turn and swim away; that's how the hook gets set properly. . . .
Um, who gives a damn about where pink worms started? But for arguments sake, people have been fishing pink worms down in the USA before Canada even knew that artificial worms could catch fish. Pink worms originated in the USA for bass fisherman and it got adopted by steelhead fishermen in the USA, then in Canada. Float fishing for steelhead however may have originated in Canucksville or so I hear.

You started off strong with ""s and CAPITOL WORDS but then then you got soft and tried to take and educational stand on the moral high ground, and the half hearted profanity at the end just wasn't enough to save you. Steelhead are best used as bait while trolling for sealions!! I"M GONNA CRAP IN A SPAWNING BED!!.

@psychofishfan wow. youre the type of person that gives fly fisherman a bad rep. guess what. i do both. and i love it. if i ever saw you on a river and you called me a poacher for drifting a float and a jig, you'd more than likely wake up with your head laying on the rocks. you'd probably also discover all your gear floating down river and your rod in about ten pieces. i'd still be there fishing of course and making sure i didnt kill you. hell, i'd probably even give you a beer

So Many Experts - So Little Time - Go Fish!! God made SteelHead from the rib of a Rainbow, so all of the experts would have things to talk about around the Fire! They ALL taste good Smoked! Steelhead eat more junk food - that's why they smoke up a little better than a Rainbow! Junk Food = "Little Fat Girlies in the Ocean"! 10-4 BOb.......................

Well here in the northwest as long as its hooked in the general mouth OR head area it is considered a legal hook.

@flyingfisherman776 It's probably different depending on what state you're in. In Utah, if it's not in the mouth it's foul hooked.

i actually DO fish the great lakes for steelhead quite frequently. ive done research and they ARE genetically identical. ive done some research and found that a certain salt in the ocean and that there are growth hormones are mixed in with it. that is also why fish in the ocean are so much bigger altogether than fish in freshwater. that is my final statement.
MrWalleyeDude 2 years ago
mmmmmmmarcus,
a steelhead is a steelhead, not a rianbow that got bored and decided to go to salt, they are genetically diferent because of that,
and mr. walley dude, steelhead get bigger cuz they are steelhead and they go to salt,
geeze it sounds likw you guys are a bunch of great lakes "steelhead fishermen" but its fish from my state that are brought over there, have fun with our rejects

stillrob420 1 year ago
how about you actually go look it up or talk to anyone who fishes for steelhead. the only dfferenece between steelhead and rainbows is that rainbows dont have access to the ocean and steelhead are just rainbows that got into a river that leads to the ocean
eryman17 1 year ago
@stillrob420 Rainbows and Steelhead are the same fish, a steelhead is just a costal rainbow that has genes in it that give it the urge to migrate to larger water, be it the sea or the great lakes. The only reason steelhead are bigger is that their is more food in the ocean (or great lakes) than a small creek or lake. Same reason a king salmon stocked in a lake only grows to a 2 pounds, when a king from the same hatchery stocked in a creek with access to the ocean grows to 20 pounds.

@stillrob420 Wow you are ignorant. I bet you think that kokanee and sockeye are different also. Lol look at it this way. 2 kids one grows up with the same predetermined genes as the other. They are meant to be 5'7 but one has better food than the other. The malnurished child will be smaller. That is the difference between the 2. One is just fed more therefore grows bigger.

@stillrob420 @lukelongaker You are dead wrong. Marine biologists have long establhed that steelhead and rainbow trout are genetically identical, @MrWalleyedude's "research" aside. The "andromous" steelhead is larger because in the ocean you become a succesful hunter and grow bigger, or you become something else's meal. Despite the behavior differences and the obvious color differences (different food sources), these fish are the same. Look it up dude.

mmmmmarcus and andrewh4 : steelhead and rainbow trout are genetically identical. Steelhead simply live in water where they can access the ocean to spawn. however, you are wrong about the name. fisherman originally called it the steelhead because of the steel-gray appearance on the insides of the fish. today, that has dissappeared. no one knows why. also steelhead get larger than rainbow trout. no one knows why this is either.

ok if that is true what about the Great Lakes steelhead? They dont go to the ocean, so i guess they are just rainbow trout?

andrewh4 2 years ago
@andrewh4 Nothing sad about this. This is not a fish that they had captured and then hooked by the nose and let him run for a commerical shoot. Nor is it a fish that was caught in a typical foul-hooking sweep of the rod with a large treble hook, it is a fish that simply went for the bait and ended up nose hooked which is not illegal on the west coast. Furthermore, the fish was released. So, please, while the thought of you using up a box of kleenex over the fish is hilarious... get real.

While these products DO work, dont expect the success these guys are having, as they are likely fishing an area that receives little-to-no human contact. In that situation, the fish are stupid and will hit just about anything. Powerworms are best fished in combination with powerbait. If you use them alone, its best to drop-shot them.

Cant believe all the critical comments of Power Worms.... They are all I use, color doesnt even seem to matter. Fish them slow!!! Carolina OR Texas rig these things and reel them delicately and slightly jerk'em a bit. Also you might try putting a dash of garlic powder in the bag and squish the bag around a bit to add extra scent/flavor. Bass LOVE these worms !!!!!

WSARMENIANPOWER 2 years ago
Well, no offense at all but your not doing somethin right. Try one of those kinds of hooks designed for worms (cant remember what theyre called right now) where you insert the hook through the tip of the worm then turn it 180 degrees and put it half way through the middle portion of the worm so it is weedless (far less snags) then put a split shot about 8 inches or more above the worm OR use a sliding bullet weight. And just DONT cast it and reel it in - dance it around a bit nice and slow!
DrVegasIII 2 years ago
Float fishing is only effective in slower water. In faster water the water on top is faster than the water on the botom so your float drags your jig/worm at an unnatural speed....if you fish faster water have it set so your jig is 1 to 2 feet off the bottom....steelhead will move to take it no problem!
cobias 2 years ago
You have to hold back on the float in faster water and fish more lead with a different shape of float.

That supermarket employee didnt know what the hell he was talking about. A steelhead is merely a rainbow trout that went to the ocean.
mmmmmarcus 2 years ago
mmmmarcus, a steelhead is not a rainbow trout, it is a steelhead. What I mean is that while considered a rainbow trout it is a migratory fish thus it is not a stream rainbow trout, but a steelhead. Plus, a wild fish is the opposite of what you say. A wild fish is not dumb, it just hasnt seen 100000s of roebags and worm creations drift by its head countless times. Its stocked fish that you can catch on less exact imitations.
andrewh4 2 years ago
Yeah yeah, you thumbed me down, and want to annoy me, whatever. A steelhead is a rainbow trout that has migrated to the ocean. When Rainbow trout run out to sea, they lose most of the spots on their body, save for the top of the back, and develop a more silvery appearance, especially around the operculum.
hence the name, "STEEL-head". In some populations, Like the great lakes, the change is stimulated by the similarity of these lakes to the ocean And that's my final statement. fag

guitaristdf 3 years ago
technically, fish do let go before the hook is set on some bait. that's why you'll get a bunch of hits, but no fish. The key is to get them to think it's bait, turn and swim away; that's how the hook gets set properly. . . .

Um, who gives a damn about where pink worms started? But for arguments sake, people have been fishing pink worms down in the USA before Canada even knew that artificial worms could catch fish. Pink worms originated in the USA for bass fisherman and it got adopted by steelhead fishermen in the USA, then in Canada. Float fishing for steelhead however may have originated in Canucksville or so I hear.
