Next year I’m getting my cardio up…..I lost a giant chrome coho I chased down river when it was zipping down current…. I was tripping and falling in the river while trying to skip over rocks yelling “COMING DOWN”…nearby fisherman yelling to encouraging me to push and get back up after eating shit half a dozen times….down to a third of my backing. I couldn’t keep up with the fury of the coho and against rock hopping and tripping over; Left me battered and winded with no avail…..8lb seaguar leader gave me all it had to give. At least the spectators and the old timers who encouraged me validated my split second decision to chase and challenge a formidable chrome coho (which I did see jump out of the water after eating my egg well over 18lb) rather than stay stationary to break off and not pursue. My korkers were missing six spikes in total and waders soaked…. I was alive in a way I never imagined, i live for those moments. Tight lines fellas!!!!!
That’s one heck of a battle my friend! Been there, done that. Some of those fresh fish can be pretty humbling, been left out of breathe with severe bicep pain many times haha. The battle rages on! Tight lines to you as well! 🎣
Mike it’s truly an honor to have such a legend in the outdoors community back in my comments section. Can’t wait to have you back here again next year! Keep on preaching pal, I bet you’re a lot of fun in person 🥴
It’s certainly a different type of fishing. I’m with you, I’d rather be off the grid by myself on a freestone river chasing brook trout, but I think it’s nice to have nuance. Those drone shots are from the public water in the town center, when we go over we buy passes on the DSR which is considerably less crowded. First time I ever felt the strength of a fully mature king salmon on a fly rod I was hooked - pun intended! 😆
Man, dont even bother responding to negative comments. I have done this on the lake , really want to try it in the river but the crowds really freak me out.
Haha thanks man. I don’t mind barking back at some of the keyboard warriors on these videos. They usually can’t form a coherent rebuttal, and it helps boost the engagement on the video. Win-win. The crowds on the public stretches of river during the salmon run are unbearable. When we go over each fall we buy DSR passes to avoid the masses. Definitely worth the extra couple hundred bucks in my opinion 🎣
Definitely. I have tried the steelhead fishing out there once, but I tried tactics that we use here in the Saranac River for salmon and trout. I ran into a local guide there and showed him what I was doing and he almost drowned laughing 😅. He was gracious enough to show us the ropes and 10 minutes later he caught a huge steelhead showing us how its done. Excited to go try again.
Absolutely! My rod is a Douglas LRS 9ft 4 piece 9wt. Reel is the Okuma SLV 8/9wt. I have 200 yards of 30lb Dacron backing tied to Rio Gold 9wt floating line. My leader is a Rio Gold 9ft 16lb tapered flurocarbon leader, and to that I tie a blood knot to 2 feet of 12lb Seaguar Red Label abrasion-resistant flurocarbon. I start with two #3 tin split shot above my tippet knot and add more weight as is needed. Tons of options for flies. Hope this helps, good luck if you’re getting out there! 🍀
I know a zack streeter from my hometown in Webster the odds of finding another person with same name is rare like meeting someone with your exact name. I did except his last name was spelled Mac mine Mc same name though that was at jury duty both of we’re wondering why did they call my name twice so we walked over to table and it’s like your Brian nice to meet you, you too Brian 🤣
That’s pretty wild! Definitely some low odds there. Even lower is meeting someone with my exact name. The only other Lawrence Halvorson I’ve ever met was my grandfather 😂
There are definitely fish in the river! I think this weekend should be the best one yet, it still seemed like the run was still building while we were there. Looks like the Oz is on fire right now too! Good luck this season over there, chasing brown trout on Oak Orchard is on my list! 🤝🏼
I couldn’t tell exactly where he was hooked until he landed in the net and by that point was very much not going to make it. The person in the video who asked where it was hooked was actually a DSR official who had no issue with any of it. Thank you for checking the video out 🤙🏼
Seems your superficial hook sets are do to you not having proper line control during your drift. While following your drift, the line should be captured between your index finger and cork. Not free to spool on that shit drag reel. Fish on!
That’s ultimately the fault of the state of New York. In Vermont where I’m from, property lines do not exceed the high water mark against any river or lake, but in New York property lines can run to the center of the river or even across the river. Also as far as funding goes, restocking is paid for through grants from the USFW as well as license sales from the NY DEC, and you cannot fish the DSR without a license. I understand some people have issues with the DSR existing but it can’t be because they aren’t cutting a check to the hatchery every year.
@@WoodsNorth I know the DSR is a little pricey, but it beats the crowds and you are pretty well spread out. I’m from out of state and it is definitely worth the price of admission.
🙄 Why is EVERY video on the salmon river ALWAYS the DSR section and never anywhere else like the ball park or the Pineville pool ect. Not everyone wants to pay to fish a private section of the river.
It’s a pretty big effort for us to get over there, with a large travel commitment and months of planning. I’d rather spend a couple extra hundred bucks to fish at a location that isn’t covered in trash and packed wall to wall with other anglers. I go over once a year, and have always had a great time at the DSR.
Part 2 of our weekend on the Salmon River is live! Make sure to check it out as well! 😎

Yes.
Those bad boys were fighting! Nice catch boys, Part 2🤞🏼‼️
Stay. F-ing. Tuned. Part 2 hittin the airwaves in 4 days 👀 👀

I don't see how anyone can enjoy combat fishing. It takes all the good part of being out there.

I was there Sunday caught one and hooked 3
One-for-three is a good day in my book! I think we had 25 hook ups in 3 days and only put 3 in the net. Good stuff! 🔥

Hi...can you explain what rod,reel and setupleader did u use ?
Absolutely! My rod is a Douglas LRS 9ft 4 piece 9wt. Reel is the Okuma SLV 8/9wt. I have 200 yards of 30lb Dacron backing tied to Rio Gold 9wt floating line. My leader is a Rio Gold 9ft 16lb tapered flurocarbon leader, and to that I tie a blood knot to 2 feet of 12lb Seaguar Red Label abrasion-resistant flurocarbon.

Snaggers
Lol alright
I'm surprised they're running so early! I'm west of you near Oak Orchard and it's still a little warm for our run (as far as I know...).

What are those screws 0:57 ????
They’re screw in studs from Frogg Toggs. A bag of 30 only costs $6.99 and they worked great for me all weekend!
@@WoodsNorth amazing. Those are crucial on the SR. Great filming scenes. Really enjoyed your video. Thx !!!
@@BrankoFlyFishabsolutely! I’ve tripped one too many times chasing fish down without spikes haha. Thanks for watching man! I really appreciate it 🍻
If the hook is not IN THE MOUTH, it is foul hooked and should be released at once. Under the chin is not fair hooked. Otherwise a nice video.

There is black hole
Black Hole is just upriver from the eastern end of the DSR property line. I didn’t fish there this year
Seems your superficial hook sets are do to you not having proper line control during your drift. While following your drift, the line should be captured between your index finger and cork. Not free to spool on that shit drag reel. Fish on!
Ok!
I wouldn't give those bastards a dime to fish what is rightfully the states water and not Private... They don't contribute a dime towards restocking.

We will fish the DSR 2 days then find a spot on the main for a day or two that isn’t crowded. Always a fun time
Man you giving that fish to much line and messing all those guys fishing . Next head down stream or break off. Just saying 😳
Not the hero we deserve, but the hero we need. Thanks for this very insightful comment 🥴
lol that is a GOLDEN RESPONSE!!!@@WoodsNorth
