- Trevor Covich has guided for years in remote parts of Alaska, where hookups on king salmon and steelhead come much easier than just about anywhere in the world. He has had the chance to watch hundreds of clients make thousands of hook sets on fish, and he has acquired valuable insight on the best way to set the hook on a swung fly presentation.

Couldn't agree more! Every time I lacked patience, I lacked a fish on the end of my line. When I gave it a couple seconds for the fish to take and hook itself my hookup percentage went WAY up. Thanks for posting this.
i was new to salmon fishing in scotland 2 years ago and missed my first few takes, i was a trout fisher for 40 years and it was so hard NOT to react to every nip or pull, but after calming down my catch rate is much better now, nothing is more exciting than hooking a good salmon on a fly rod, just fantastic and now i cant wait for february 11th
All of this was good insight Trevor. Having guided both trout and steelhead trips for years in WA, I myself have to mentally adjust day to day whether it's stroking a fish on a bobber, or dropping a loop and letting a steelhead chew on the fly and set itself. I think the best takeaway for people is patience, which just comes from experience.
Top Notch video right here! Great info guys.
"your fly could touch a piece of gravel, and you know - your like a dog on point"...
my story... lol
Great film, thanks.
Been reading 'Greased line fishing' by Jock Scott in anticipation of our new season here and he says exactly that, especially regarding side on fly profile and angle and time of tightening into fish. Guess good techniques dont change.
...been there....done plenty....thanks Trevor.
Trevor is best from BEST!!!
So nice to see, "all" the reel handles on the correct side. Here in Denmark "i'm the only guy", who does it this way.. And you can't teach anybody anything, no matter how much facts and logic you share with them.
watch that fly swim. that is a perfect pattern just the right amount of movement. 5:00
You guys are the shit! I run all your products, had a great trip on the Clearwater recently.
Trevor, what is your most successful fly color for fishing Chinooks? I've have pretty good luck with chartreuse but was curious what you run most.
I assume on the presentation you mean broadside instead of slow fly on the swing?
@ 1:23 oh buddy!
Where were you fishing in this video?
When salmon fishing I was taught never to strike but to wait until line comes off the reel then just lift into the fish gently.
Same for me. Let’s the fish chew the gum! Realy like this expression so nice for me
So with what your saying at 5:00, do you broadside presentation more than classic swings?
I've watched this entirely too many times now... thanks for the vids.
Was that net just standing there, to be ready for the big one, or did it point out some big hole to not walk into or something?
Just waiting for a fish!
It's really Cool, now a days Steelhead and Salmon Eat Steel, Fur, Feathers, Mylar, Plastic, Tungsten, Super Glue, etc. :-)>~ Because Now Steelhead Don't 'Take' Flies they Eat them 😃😁
Simply explained a fish will follow the fly from it's spot, take the fly and go back to his spot so most of the time it's about letting the fish turn instead of ripping the fly out of its mouth, if you let it turn it will hook in the scissors 90 % of the time if not more and it will be landed.
Don't set anything, until the fish is on it's way away from you. Then chances are optimal for the line sliding into the scissors..
What’s with the rain jacket?
Well said, just gotta let em eat.
Dude its the PNW home of rain forests. nobody is caught dead without a rain jacket.
WHO CARES >>>> Your in Alaska >> You loose 25 takes, ahhhhhh but You catch 75 fish 'winks'
Just say 'no' to bassmastering.
I am an equal opportunity fisherman, When I see pretty women I get a Steelhead and want to grab her Bass.....'winks'
