April Vokey on the Dean River- steelhead hookup and fight.

[MrFisherman83]

Beautiful Fish April. I can't wait to get out west, im just waiting to finish school for F+W in April and im on my way. Thinking of guiding for my first summer at least any recommendations on lodges that would be good to look into? Somewhere with trophy Steelhead would be preferred :)

[pauldh62]

Very nice catch and release.

[peterdubh]

Everyone is an expert on you tube :( You can catch a really nice fish but there is always a better way to have caught it.

[fishinwflies]

Ignore the ignorant April. By the way, very nice cast. I think it's the only cackhand snap-t I have ever seen on video. Great fish as well.

[VALLEJOcaUSA]

That steelie is "almost" as beautiful as you April! ;) good fight!

@MrDUGGERBOY Don't need to think before I type. I stand by my statement " men can't handle being out fished by a woman" There was no point for u to say could have cast father with your 10ft 8w.another statement of April fishing over thousands of fish makes it sound like this is really easy fishing- believe me, it isn't. But nice back-pedalling, nice to see you back on shore. One should know the water he wants to fish before wading right in! Hate to see any fishermen drown.

@MrDUGGERBOY

That's Kathryn Maroun with the rich hubby (Lou Maroun) and destination extravaganza (she's really kind and sweet, btw). You can let your instructor know that they may want to get their facts straight before sharing. I don't care who he/she is, but I can assure you that they've never met me. Not only have I never been married, but I save for my trips; the ones that are "free" require me to work while I'm there. Anyway, nothing left to say...already spent too much time on this. A.

[rjwfish]

The girl can flat out fish. As far as Duggerboy, maybe you can cast farther.

This isn't a video on distance casting. April read the water cast and found the fish. Bottom line. So you push a cast another twenty feet out, well you probably missed that fish. Good on you girl. I'm teaching my daughter to fly fish, first lesson was, men can't handle being out fished by a woman. Your one lucky woman getting to fish all those great places. If you ever fish the Thompson please leave me a few.

@rjwfish

You are a gem of a man.... thank you.

[leatherman665]

@rjwfish right.... it's not the distance of the cast it's where you put it

[fishinwflies]

That was a nice cast at the beginning. Sounds like it was windy.Was that fly an Intruder?

[bassdeere]

PLEASE bring me fishing with you , April. Love your Videos

[farheezil]

Hey April, we have something in common and it isn't breakfast at Tiffany's. I think it could work out. ;) 

[shakeyfly]

Marry Me... and then take me with you... :)

Nirvana

[pauldh62]

Superb - I just love the way the rod arches round as the fish tires, but the fight is far from over. Landed and released with such poise and grace.

[jahtrout]

Does any flyfisherperson have a better smile than April Vokey?

[Vipergrass]

WHO THE HECK DISLIKE THIS!?!?!?!?!?!?  It was an awesome catch

[AKtrojan100]

beautiful..... that stellie wasnt bad either!

[speyday69]

Fathers that are reading this.......................spe­nd time with your daughters. This could be them. And think of the pride you'll feel when they meet and marry a steelheader and have adventures together. I'ts like nirvana. Way to go, April.

[spahnman]

That girl can fish. I would love to go fishing with her she seems cool to hang with nice to see a woman who loves to fish

[dogi4444]

[iflysw1]

Nice catch & release, enjoyed your Steelhead obsession in Fly Fisherman magazine.

[Mr31ADI]

[bellie091]

[alan4sure]

Wow, absolutely beautiful. Nice fish, too!

[Msquad321]

Well done, Ape !! 

[enzyme12345]

Nice fight in that fish. BC rocks! We have great steelies in WA and OR, but BC is king.

[mountaineerfan05]

Pure awesomeness. I have only a few weeks of steelhead experience and I want more.

[milcua]

Beautiful place, beautiful fish and a beautiful Lady...must be heaven :)

[AtmaRising]

While watching, I was screaming at my monitor, "don't let it Homie get into the fast water!"
