Desert Dries - Dry Fly Spey Casting for Steelhead Fly Fishing by Todd Moen

- Опубликовано: 4 сен 2019
- Steelhead are NEVER known for being easy to catch. In fact, the more difficult they are to catch, the more valuable each fish becomes. There is a certain satisfaction in catching a steelhead on a skated dry fly. It feels like a big accomplishment to catch one of these fish in the most pure and sportive method possible. That challenge is the very reason angler Jeff Hickman began fly fishing in the fist place. It was not to catch fish easily. He wanted to learn how to catch fish in the most challenging ways possible. In this video, angler Jeff Hickman uses his jet boat to access the roadless Lower Deschutes River with his guide and friend Barrett Ames. These desert steelhead, most of them just straying out of the mighty Columbia River, are very tuned into the surface and will aggressively rise to a skated dry fly.
As a videographer and an angler, I know that some of my favorite times on the river have been spent with Jeff Hickman, owner of Fish the Swing. In fact, no matter the weather or the location, Jeff has the magic ability to find fish, tell a story worth sharing, or do both simultaneously. Last fall, "Desert Dries" came together just as I'd hoped. It tells the real story of steelhead fishing, where most of the time spent on the river is in pondering life questions while waiting for the steelhead to hit. Here Jeff fished the Burkheimer 6128, Scientific Anglers Deliverance Spey with floating tip and Bauer RX6 Classic Spey Reel in conditions that were typical of the Upper Deschutes in the fall. Revealing the remains of Columbia River Gorge's tremendous and devastating wildfires, the charred and barren landscape made for interesting hiking and challenging filming.Thanks to Bauer Fly Reels, Fish The Swing, Eddie Bauer and Scientific Anglers for their generous support of Catch Magazine.

Not sure how I missed this 2 years ago, but I'm glad it showed up today. As always, great video Mr Moen.
Thanks for watching. Yeah, it’s weird how these video pop up randomly. Please share if ya can. Really appreciate it!
That guy at the end must know that River like the back of his hand to fly so confidently through those rocks and rapids.
Superb visual storytelling Mr Moen! You don't reveal trophy until the latter third of the tale. Cheers!

As a Mexican, I will treasure this kind of video it will make me remember my days Swinging long belly lines on beautiful fall days for anodromous fish!
Thank you Mr Moen!
Donde en mexico pescabas steelhead? Yo pesco trucha en ensenada.
How one could downvote this video, or anything by Todd Moen, is beyond me.
It’s because there’s no video of the actual fish taking the fly from the surface

@@justinphilpott150 just say you didn’t watch the video
Wow, taking that boat down that river takes skill!!! Another great video Todd!
A great watch. It instills a hope our runs will be great again in me. The Columbia River runs have suffered for the past 3 years and this year especially (2019). Keep up the good work Todd.
Great video like always, keep it up!! 👌
love your videos man! keep it up!!!
Gotta love the dry fly action well done.....

Somehow I lost my passion for fishing, I still love your videos! Great job as usual 👌
You just sucked at it then 😔
Amazing footage...gotta get back to the rivers
Nice footage! Raised three, landed two (different river) day before yesterday before grenading the jet unit on the way back to the takeout. Sitting here at home, hoping the re-power gets done in time for more...
Amazing, can’t wait to skate some bugs!
Todd you make the best f####n fishing videos!! Thanks!
Great fishing
OMG! Mr. Bill goes Fly Fishing!
I thought this was just a myth! Amazing video, this channel inspires me so much to keep flyfishing and learning new techniques for new waters, keep up the great content!
Steelhead are just trout and more wise they have such similar behavior in the river system that I will see trout eating may flies along side with the steelhead also the steelhead are chasing the smaller fish around but I truly love fishing of all kinds and it all works just think out side of the box
Top water swinging for fall steelhead on the Deschutes has a special place in my heart
Pense num cara com vontade de estar aí pescando esses lindos peixes com vcs!!! Sou Eu 😀
nice casting too
always cool
perfect
2 in hand and one miss;very nice day on any Steelhead River.Wow!!!!!!!!!!.
As a photog and a fly angler, here's what I have to know; how do you put down the rod for the camera or vice versa? Great work as always.
Amazing video !!! How long for making this video ? Ux180 is a big camcorder, have you feel uncomfortable when bring and use it for a long time ?
Nice Fish! Nice Casting! Nice Music! Todd are you related to Brian from GF/MT? How could there be 8 dimwits that gave a thumbs down...... WoW!!!

Deschutes
Great video but what river was it filmed on and what time of year too?
I'm sure it's the Deschutes.
The hardwoods are telling me autumn on the D
Yes, Deschutes River in late September. Thanks for watching!!
Who’s the opening song by?
was that a foam fly?
Palm Skater
Anyone know what that black foam fly is called?
BK, It's called a Pom Skater.

These are not dry flies they are lures.
What ever people want to call them, they work and are easily cast with a fly rod. Thanks for watching!
