Congrats and good deal...............

Does anyone have a report on the conditions of the launches at the Fort? Are they open and safely usable at current water levels?

I ordered some crawler harness blades from CWT on a "gift certificate" issued by them, and they arrived with no problems.......

Net your fish head first. I hold the back portion of the handle with my right hand and support the handle where the handle meets the hoop with my left hand..... also holding the net basket with my left hand. You hold the basket tight so that it's not flopping around in the flowing water. When the time is right, let go of the basket as you slide the net handle through your left hand (powered by your right) to capture the fish. Mission accomplished. The only time it fails is when you get impatient and try to net the fish "early". then all bets are off..... The pinchpad pretty much takes the place of manually holding the net basket, and keeps the basket tight and out of the way.

There is really only two major spawning runs on the US side. The Kings stage in front of the Niagara River on the "Bar", and the Salmon River. There are minor packs of staging Salmon at all the ports in between but usually not as heavy of concentration. We kill them every year at the bar as long as the weeds coming out of the river don't clog up the lines

 

When do you start to see staging fish off the bar? 

Nice day, and nice report! Congrats.....

Don't rule out feral dogs........ but the best know is to find a track.... everything leaves them.

Very nice report Jeremy..... congrats on the christening and the fishing. It's great to see that the new boat has some good juju .... but with a new boat, you know we need some pics.

That's a great photo and a beautiful fish.... congrats to the both of you!

Nice Report Buddy....... glad to hear that things are running well. I might make a trip to Niagara County on Saturday morning.

They've gotta be hunting all the time now to feed pups....... or at least that's a theory..... in addition to being pinched by the hi water.

Sweet! Congratulations........ Brined Breast, smoked, and sliced thin on a sammy is pretty tough to beat.

You gotta give us a little more of the story......

The first one is the hardest one........  

He's the MAN!, and good job to the coach...... I love the side x side photo. What a smile.

Great photo Money..... or money photo..... you pick.

Keep at him Matt...... he'll mess up.

Looks like a little more water coming in the next week.......

Very nice....... please circle back with a pic of the mount....

You're due buddy! But you might need a snorkel tomorrow.....

That's amazing....... Congratulations!

A little damp in the woods, but what a great morning.

I've shot tungsten shot for a couple of year now Bill, and really like it. Not the hevi-shot, but an old Remington goose / duck load. Remington HD. They're not giving tungsten away, but for the number of round you go through a year, it's acceptable. I shoot it at turkeys / foxes / coyotes, and think it performs very well. 

Have fun guys..............Good Luck. Be Safe
