    They are fun to catch.  I've caught several over the years in the Menominee River in Wisconsin, which forms the border between Wisconsin and the Michigan UP where it flows into Green Bay, between Menominee Michigan and Marinette Wisconsin (Dad's home town).  They do actually have an open season for them there in the month of September with a season keep limit of 2 fish.  I've never been there then when the season was open, but I have caught them incidentally while walleye fishing in the river.  I've hooked bigger but, the biggest I've landed and released was about 5 feet/60 lbs. That was a lot of fun from shore on a 6 1/2' ugly stik and 8 lb test. It jumped clear out of the water 4 times during the fight.  You see them jumping all the time at the base of the first dam, just upstream of the Hattie St Bridge where I was fishing.  There are some big ones there I've seen jumping that were 7-8 feet long and over 100 lbs.

     

    It would be great if they can get the populations to recover sufficiently enough here to have a season for them at some point, even if it's strictly catch and release.

    I have 2 trip planned to fish out of Olcott, the weekend of 24 of June and weekend of 13 of July, my question is I want to do a kids weekend witch would be the better of the 2 , I’m from Michigan 

     

    There's no port on the lake I'd rather fish out of in mid July than Olcott.  Go with the July 13 weekend.

    Interesting conversation. I've had the Amish Outfitter Redwood boards for years, they have always pulled like a mule on steroids, to the point that I invested in the Cisco Electric Planer Reels because they were no fun at all to crank in by hand.

    Signed up yesterday! Anybody know if LOTSA sends you a confirmation email once you register? I never got anything from them.
    I do see my name on the list of attendees so I'm assuming I'm all set


    Yup. If you show up on the list, you’re all set.

    When I was doing it, I had to process all of the registrations manually and I sent each registrant a confirmation email. After 18 years as the Club Secretary, I retired at the end of last year. Chad here at LOU is running and maintaining our website now and he has everything automated. Once the payment processes, it automatically updates the list on the website.

    I would check property deed for any right of ways. Typically only 5' from edge of road.

    It depends on how the road is designated, most state/county roads are two rod or three rod roads.  A rod is 16.5 feet, so the right of way will extend 33' in either direction from the center line of the road. for a two rod rd. Residential streets are likely 1 rod roads, so the right of way will extend  16.5 feet from the center line.

    Depends on your definition of novice.  They are not going to teach you how to use downriggers, planer board or dipseys or your electronics.  They expect you to know the mechanics.  What they will teach is where to look for the fish during different seasons and weather conditions.  What lure selections based on conditions, light brightness, and bait available.  They will teach you tricks to up your catch.  Honestly this is a must class for just about everyone including beginners.  Just don’t ask the super beginner questions like how do I place my line in a release during the class.  Otherwise this will help your learning curve.

     

    Exactly, and if you really need the basic stuff, there will be basic learn to fish Lake Ontario sessions available periodically throughout the weekend in the 1 hour seminars, that will cover a lot of those topics.

    Do they clip the adipose in coho too?

    From the 2016 DEC Report Highlights:
     
    Each year, DEC stocks coho salmon as fall fingerlings (age 0) at six sites along the New York shoreline, and
    as spring yearlings (age 1) at the Salmon River. As part of a continuing effort to evaluate the effectiveness of
    stocking programs, the relative return of fall fingerling and yearling fish will be compared by adipose clipping
    and coded wire tagging all coho salmon stocked by DEC from 2016-2018.
     

    Yeah, they are wasting their limited resources to conduct a study for which they already know the answer.

    They used to always stock coho as spring yearlings and had great imprinting and returns. Quite a few years ago now they started stocking them as fall fingerlings so they wouldn’t have to carry them in the hatchery for that additional 6 months and coho numbers and returns predictably, suffered as a result.

    They already know spring yearlings do better, switching to fall fingerlings was a financial decision, NOT a biological one.
