Fishing in subzero temperatures is an experience like no other, and I recently had the chance to test my limits when I went steelhead fishing in the icy waters of Red River near the town of Chebbi Back. The temperature was a chilling minus five degrees Celsius, but with the wind chill, it felt like it dropped to minus fifteen. It was incredibly cold, but that didn’t stop me.
I found myself standing in the freezing water, completely immersed in the experience. Despite the harsh conditions, there was something mesmerizing about being in the water, casting my line, and patiently waiting for that telltale tug. The cold made it a challenge, but it also added to the excitement. The rush of adrenaline from the steelhead I managed to catch made it all worth it.
I was able to catch my steelhead in these extreme temperatures, a moment that reminded me just how resilient we can be when we’re passionate about something. I had the water to myself, and the quiet stillness around me was almost meditative. The whole experience felt like an accomplishment, both physically and mentally. It was one of those days that tested my endurance but also rewarded me in ways I could never have imagined.
This experience left me with an appreciation for how fishing can be both an escape and a challenge. It taught me a lot about patience, perseverance, and the ability to find joy even in the toughest conditions. If you ever get the chance to fish in freezing waters, I highly recommend it – as long as you’re prepared, of course!

This time, I had a little experience fishing for steelhead with the Spey system. Swinging for steelhead was truly enjoyable—that’s why they call it ‘steelhead on the swing.’ Here, I’m sharing a video with you so you can see some moments of me fishing for a steelhead on the Vedder River in Chilliwack using the Spey system. Enjoy!”

When I first saw this fly, something told me that it could bring me good luck and help me catch a steelhead. I tied the fly, made some modifications, added a few materials, and took it fishing. On the first day, I succeeded in catching a steelhead with it. I’m very happy to share this experience with you. So far, this has been the best fly for me when fishing for steelhead.

Today, I had an amazing experience with a Campanella fly rod! I managed to catch a beautiful steelhead—a fish famously known as the ‘fish of a thousand casts.’ The precision, power, and sensitivity of the Campanella rod truly helped me achieve this unforgettable moment. Thank you, Campanella, for crafting such an exceptional tool! 🎣🔥”

What an amazing gathering today at the RIO Brazilian Steakhouse with so many experienced fly fishermen! The highlight of the day was our conversation about steelhead fishing with dry flies !!! was also incredibly lucky to win a set of exceptional dry flies tied by Rudy Morzanowski during the raffle. These flies are perfect for steelhead fishing and a true work of art. Grateful for the knowledge, the connections, and the memories shared today
I just wanted to thank you Arnold for organizing such an incredible gathering at RIO Brazilian Steakhouse today. The steak was absolutely delicious, and the company was even better. Spending time with our fly fishing friends and learning from their experiences made the day unforgettable.
I truly appreciate all the effort you put into making this happen. Looking forward to more great times together!
