Bill and Mike are both the man when it comes to trout, salmon, and steelhead. We don't have many places in Northern Illinois with these fish, but I learn alot from these guys for when I do go out and try to fish for them.
Man, that double-header was a real thrill to watch! It's truly remarkable how you video all the while you're bringing in the trout! Interesting how the bottom contours of the creek changes over the years. What great fishing! I enjoyed this video very much! Great job!
Always great to see a new Bill & Mike adventure. Love it all but gotta admit your catfish adventures are my personal favorites and have made me a better cat fishing guy. May you guys keep making these great videos 4EVER........CYA. :-P
You guys are the best man you don't know how much it really enlightens me watching this sitting here in the hospital. I'm glad you guys got out together bless you guys and Merry Christmas hopefully see from you soon
It's wonderful that you are able to enjoy fishing with your son. Wish my dad was still alive so we could fish together again. Merry Christmas to you and your family and may you have a happy and healthy New year. Lonnie
Excellent adventure, Bill. When I see you guys running the banks and battling those bid, strong beauties it is almost like watching a prize fight. Lots of adrenaline and cardio, that's for sure, and you two are part Viking to endure the cold. Sometimes your streams are icy and there's snow everywhere so it amazes me that those magnificent fish are biting like they do. Congrats to Mike for his 5/6 and to you for the 4/4. Happy holidays, Don
Great to see Mike back in town and you guys spending some time fishing together. Another successful trip for both of you. Want to wish you and Mike a Merry Christmas to you and your families, hopefully you get that centrepin for Christmas, I’ll put in a good word to Santa for you Bill, you deserve it. Adrian
Bill & Mikes Angling Adventures Can’t remember the last time you guys had a double header. That was awesome, browns in the Erie tribs are rare but Mike has the magic bait to get them. Awesome. Adrian
Some nice fish there, glad to see you guys do well as always. Gonna try to get out with Luke the week of Christmas. It's been forever but he's finally off that week
thanks man , thats cool , got to cover a lot of areas when its slow like that to find a dfew willing fish - my brother went downstream and couldn't keep the stocker smolt rainbows off his hook - you made the right choice heading upstream
Fished a few of these holes a couple weeks back thru alot of slush and worked our tails off for one fish.......thats a pretty darn good day in comparison lol
it was slow but it turned out decent by the end of the day , i talked to a few guys that live near the creek and fish it regularly and they said its been slow all year
I follow you all the time ,I missed drift trip in November 15 on salmon river . I wish I was close to buffalo I would love to go fish with you I pay for food /gas/beer .email me ltcstrategies@verizon.net Ican go any time during week my 13 year old plays travel hockey on weekends
When you are fishing that faster water, are you guys putting on extra weight or less weight with the float bobber? I know the current is supposed to move the weight ahead of the bobber so is the speed going to matter?
Merry Christmas to you and yours, thoughts and prayers out for the new grandbaby! You're a really great mentor keep up the great work not too many people left like you anymore
Nice job guys! Love watching yours guys videos, great stuff! I wanted to ask you, what’s the difference between the rainbows and the Steelheads? I never caught a steelhead but they look similar to me, course that’s just me though! Y’all know more about that stuff than me! PS- Merry Christmas to you guys too!
thanks man i appreciate it , just a different strain of rainbow , domestic bows are thicker fish usually and steelhead are more streamlined but not always
Just so you know I've been using the peach beads I ran out of sacks and wax worms and I put a ruffled grouse feather the size of my thumb nail in the bead next to my tooth pick and I caught about a 4 lb steelhead on it on a cheap Shimano 2500 we even got some suckers biting at it LOL I couldn't believe that
Hey Outdoor Angler, skunked is a bad word in fishing but we have to be real and acknowledge that, some days that’s how it goes. That’s why it’s called fishing and not catching.

thanks Don , happy holidays , i guess you get used to the cold when its winter 6 months out of the year at least it seems that way
tough day only 10 bites but we landed 9 out of the 10 fish hooked so it turned out to be a decent day after all - No Skunk'n
Like the video guys! We look forward to doing some Steel Head fishing in the future. Thanks for sharing!

Nice, after we saw you we drove upstream farther and hooked 6 total. Worked it all day with beads. Slow.
thanks man , thats cool , got to cover a lot of areas when its slow like that to find a dfew willing fish - my brother went downstream and couldn't keep the stocker smolt rainbows off his hook - you made the right choice heading upstream
Merry Christmas To your families guys . Cheers from Ontario Canada.

Way to grind out some fish.. They were all decent looking fish and the last one was a beauty
thanks man it was a grind but worth it in the end
Fished a few of these holes a couple weeks back thru alot of slush and worked our tails off for one fish.......thats a pretty darn good day in comparison lol
it was slow but it turned out decent by the end of the day , i talked to a few guys that live near the creek and fish it regularly and they said its been slow all year

Bill & Mikes Angling Adventures catraugus or buffalo
neither of those but its a relatively small stream so i didn't want to name it on the video
I follow you all the time ,I missed drift trip in November 15 on salmon river . I wish I was close to buffalo I would love to go fish with you I pay for food /gas/beer .email me ltcstrategies@verizon.net Ican go any time during week my 13 year old plays travel hockey on weekends
@@BillMikesAnglingAdventures props to you for not naming it!
Nice steelhead! They made you work for them.
thanks man , we did work hard -severe leg cramps and back ache to prove it lol
Good job. Where is this?
thanks , its in western new york
When you are fishing that faster water, are you guys putting on extra weight or less weight with the float bobber? I know the current is supposed to move the weight ahead of the bobber so is the speed going to matter?
i try to put as much weight as i can but with spinning gear it seems like bobbers out front dragging the rig
Merry Christmas to you and yours, thoughts and prayers out for the new grandbaby! You're a really great mentor keep up the great work not too many people left like you anymore
Nice job guys! Love watching yours guys videos, great stuff! I wanted to ask you, what’s the difference between the rainbows and the Steelheads?

thanks man i appreciate it , just a different strain of rainbow , domestic bows are thicker fish usually and steelhead are more streamlined but not always
Bill & Mikes Angling Adventures - okay! I figured it was something like that! Appreciate it Bill! Y’all have a good one!
What kind and color main line do you use?
6lb low vis green stren line
Just so you know I've been using the peach beads I ran out of sacks and wax worms and I put a ruffled grouse feather the size of my thumb nail in the bead next to my tooth pick and I caught about a 4 lb steelhead on it on a cheap Shimano 2500 we even got some suckers biting at it LOL I couldn't believe that
😜👍👍
Hi where is it?
in western ny
Not a bad day of fishing, last I fished it was 1 month ago with prime conditions and got skunked
it turned out to be decent after all a little slow though
Hey Outdoor Angler, skunked is a bad word in fishing but we have to be real and acknowledge that, some days that’s how it goes. That’s why it’s called fishing and not catching.
Alright man!
thanks man
Sweet vidoe
thanks man
Good job guys
thanks man
after you loose a fish they always get bigger by the minute!!!
you know that lol
