On The Bank - EP1: Truck Camping for North Shore Steelhead

In this episode, we join Wired2fish's McKeon Roberts as he makes a spontaneous 2-hour dash to Minnesota's North Shore, truck camping for steelhead. With game fish season still weeks away, steelhead are one of the few early-spring options—and they’re running now. Armed with ambition, brats, and limited time, McKeon hikes, camps, and battles cold temps and scenic rivers in search of chrome. Along the way, he lands a few North Shore steelhead and shares invaluable tips on reading water, and what goes into chasing north shore steel. Whether it’s navigating tributaries, cooking up campfire brats, or unlocking new river stretches via OnX, this episode delivers the raw, real grind of bank fishing—and everything that makes it worth it. No boats, no shortcuts, just hustle, heart, and a backpack full of tackle. .
