Although I catch more than enough summer steelhead bank fishing the Columbia, I haven't really fished them out of a boat in the Columbia.
So we were in the experimental stage fishing areas we haven't fished for steelhead before and trying some proven gear that I have caught them off the bank.
This one hit the #97 Brad's Wiggler (red with black dots).
Bob also had one other "takedown" that didn't stick on that plug flat-lined 80' off the stern.
The only net we saw fly all day was when Bob hooked this respectable summer steelhead.
Just wished I had had more than 2 hours sleep and not spaced turning the digital camera on earlier when this steelie was fresh and going spastic on the surface.
Great video! Just moved here to N.W. Will bass fishing equipment work on these type of fish?
