Perfection knot loop here. Loop Through the ring ...fly through the loop. The fly rotates with the flasher...for a different action use a barrel snap swivel, and the fly slows down on rotation a little. Sent from my PC36100 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I think we are going to have a lot of water. A lot of water with runoff that will be cold for a good while into early summer. That runoff will also be muddy and will help to warm the shallows quicker which might lead to some better brown trout cover. There is a lot of snow cover all over the mid west northern states bordering all the lakes. The only die off I would hope to see would be the sea fleas. Bait forage will likely be later than usual arriving to the Niagara, but I don't think there will be a big die off, due to the fact of the depth of the lake and the alewife can survive at most any depth that suits their comfort. Smelt are lovers of the cold water anyway. Prepare to fish in colored water due to a lot of runoff and current. June will be tough fishing when transitions become a factor for very cold water on top to exchange with bottom layers. Strong current from the river this summer with all the flow from the other lakes will influence the transitions greatly with east winds. Should be challenging I would guess with hit and miss days until Mid summer. That's what I think anyways...for what its worth? Sent from my PC36100 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Not sure if they are legal to use in NY fresh waters...better check but the bait is usually too small for the mesh. Emeralds are pretty skinny!<br /> <br /> Sent from my PC36100 using Lake Ontario United mobile app<br /> <br />

Just what I wanted to do...wade around in seaweed, rotting and stinking in the sun on hot blacktop while launching the boat. Kinda negates the benefits of having a nice paved launch to use. Just how does cleaning the trailer frame and axles for 30 minutes make a difference after the boat is sitting on bunks covered in it? The seaweed is trapped until the next time you launch, so in my opinion, anyone has wasted their time pulling part of the foul off the trailer. <br /> As mentioned before to really have the issue more in control, it is up to us to be sure the launch is cleared by a long handle rake. If you can carry one that's great, but the public ramps that are maintained by taxes and launch fees should have the ramp cleaning tools accessible. If everyone were using the rake to clear the ramp each time it became cluttered, it would soon be a clean ramp for every launch.<br /> <br /> Sent from my PC36100 using Lake Ontario United mobile app<br /> <br />

Very nice Rick! I can tell that the photo ops on the Yankee Troller have paid off as the pics are very well done! OH! and hey!...welcome to my world of center console fishing...well almost. April isn't quite the same, however that Buddy Davis could be just a little overkill on our "puddle"!

Something like that!...hahaha!...I know, I know!..just gotta find a thesaurus which defines "Something like that" :wub:Sent from my PC36100 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I have read that manufactured cat food from fish can be a problem for thyroid as well as some urinary trouble for male cats. However, I cannot fillet a salmon or trout that has come home, without Jasper tearing my leg off and incessantly meowing for some raw fresh salmon from Lake O. He eats as much as he can hold, and has been doing so for about 8 years without issues. He gets some even when thawed and prepared to cook. Still a cat! Thyroid is a common ailment in cats like mentioned before.<br /> <br /> Sent from my PC36100 using Lake Ontario United mobile app<br /> <br />
