Ok returned to Lake of the Woods. The guage is made by Kelch Corporation of Cedarburg Wisconsin. It’s the number 2 model. See the enclosed picture.
I have also emailed Kelch for advice. It will be interesting to see their reply.
These lines breaking point is typically much higher than labeled. Bug game 20lb is actually a 30lb plus line. 12lb is a 20lb. If you use 30, likely a 40-50lb line
With spoons and plugs hasn’t been an issue but I am a small boat and don’t have a lot of lines in. I fish for fun and catching fish that weigh more than you line lb in open water isn’t a new idea. Historically I feel I get more bites. Back at it in a couple weeks after taking a break, so we will see:)
Sorry guys it's an (A98 ) also has all way points still on it from Wilson Oswego and fair haven where we have caught Fish for the last two or three years
Chinook salmon generally out compete most other trout and salmon species. But King salmon have a very short stay in our rivers as adults and certainly as fry to smolt status. Where Atlantic salmon, steelhead and coho salmon must survive for 12 to 18 months and in some cases a full two years in a river system for Atlantic Salmon.
In my opinion having to survive at least one and possibly two summers in a stream is the much bigger factor on our south shore. However with the electro fishing and angler success we are seeing of wild brown trout in Irondequoit it’s proving that other species besides chinook salmon are having solid success in that stream of natural reproduction and survival.
The state to date has not nearly met its stocking goal of 250k atlantics. While we are seeing more and more salar being caught on the lake and I can personally report very successfully targeting and catching them in our rivers they could be another opportunity on our river fishery as well as more diversity on the lake.
I'm sorry lyteline, I just saw your message. It looks like I just sold it today. I'm going to mark it as ''sold'' and if it does not sell I will contact you first. I live a half hour north of Cooperstown, NY about 2 hrs. from Binghamton, NY. Thanks for inquiring, Dave
