X-Treme Alaska Peninsula Steelhead video

Just wanted to share a recent video from this fall with me and 2 friends and fellow Alaska guides, this was our end of the season fun trip for the 3 of us. Hope you enjoy swinging for Wild Steelhead as much as we do. Myself, Chad and Russell spent a week together on a world class Steelhead float trip catching 10-18 lb Wild Steelhead,4-15 miles from the ocean. I wanted to share with people the true scope of getting to these remote areas 600 miles sw of Anchorage with the nearest dirt road 300 miles away. Will be doing it again next fall for 3 weeks if anyone else wants to join us for a week.

Fellas, looks like you had a great trip and did a good job documenting it for sure.
Kind of hard to see you bringing up those wild steelhead on the rocks and seeing them flop on them. Science is showing that they injure themselves on the rocks and it degrades their ability to spawn...... I didn't know this either until a year ago or so. Someone said the respectful foot........ release them out in at least a foot of water.

Especially when there is another two guys with you. Not sure the appeal of skidding fish into the rocks, rather then having your friend tail it in a couple feet of water...

Cool video, surprised by the handling of a guide group..
