It's not often you can capture an entire sequence, from hook-up to landing of a 20 pound steelhead on film. Here's just such a clip of Nick with our last fish of the trip.

very cool!!

Thanks for share your trip.

what type of reels and lb line are you guys using up there for those brutes? you guys look like you're able to handle these fish pretty easily (I say easy compared to the 5 20lb+ fish that I ahve watch kick my ass)
Shweeeeet vid too bro!

Big reels with lots of line capacity, Ambasaduer 7500, etc, loaded with 250 to 300 yards of 20-pound mono. I used the green Suffix this go around and have no complaints, it's probably the best mono I've tried to date.

You have to remember there is the very real potential to hook a high 30's or low 40's steelhead up there. Herzog reportedly landed a 35 pounder while we were there.

Very nice!!!

nice vid, spoon'n them in those deep pools out in the middle of no where must be awesome, especially when they nail it.

Nice video, bro!

Too cold for braided lines up there?

Damn near too cold for mono. We had ice freezing on the foot or so of mono above the spoon that doesn't get reeled into the guides like candle wax. No joke.

frozen mono did you have any line failures because of it?

no

Point made.

Cool vid.Glad you shared.Easy there bent rods.Good luck,

You're a TOOL, dude. Go eat a big bag of dick.

The "river" hasn't been divulged, and quite frankly after having done it, I wouldn't do it again. There's a reason people don't do what we did, it's too damn dangerous, so I'm not worried in the least about causing an increase in pressure.

IN BEFORE DA-LOCK LOL

I am with Sol, he has always been very good about not disclosing the river or spot he is fishing up there. He has been consistant every year when he comes back with his reports. We all love to dream about that fishery and he is one of a few that can tell us about it.

I like the vid.

Lots of magazine articles about those rivers and the lodges up there do alot of internet talking also. But apparently the whole fishing world is waiting for Sol to post some pics about an unnamed river??

JG the magazine's are 1% er's

I look forward to reading about these adventures .you guys have BALLS of steel just to pull this one off.and if it gets some ones pantys in a wad tellem ta PISS OFF thanks for sharring your adventures .
