Ep. 7: Trip Recap: The Early Push (Pt. 1)

In episode #7, Kyle and Zack break down the full story of their latest run up to Steelhead Alley — a trip that started with a curveball before they even packed the truck. With the forecast shifting, they ultimately made the call to head up a day early in search of a prime fishing window. This episode covers those first two days as the crew bounced between streams, split up to gather recon, and tried to dial in where fish were holding as the water slowly settled. Some stretches demanded patience and grinding through tough water, while others came alive with steady hookups after working the right runs long enough.From adapting on the fly to finding pockets of fish in unpredictable conditions, this is the story of how the trip started — and how persistence set the stage for the rest of the weekend.
