(16) For the Pay Every Day Derby, agrees that the minimum weight a salmon, brown trout, lake trout or rainbow trout must weigh is (22) pounds from 5/1 until 6/15, fish must weigh a minimum of twenty five (25) pounds for entry in the Derby from 6/16 until 9/6. The prize will be paid out each day for the single largest fish. In the event a fish is not weighed in on a given in the prize from that day will be rolled over to the next day. This will continue until an eligible fish is caught and weighed in. ---- found this under rule's are they not final yet ???

honestly this one mite be hard for me to get into , been derby fishing for years , but just got uscg lic's and will be trying too drum up clients , but the real of it is it will most likly be me and my partner and maybe a few paying trips , also if anyone don't know this, a USCL don't make ya a better fishermen , it's all safty and rule's while on the water , would of thought USCG captains, would get the brake . or maybe first year captains ? eather way well fish spring,summer,fall as always , if anything changes please post . and keep up your good work !

i like the roll over set up they have going could stack right up and if your late coming in with a big one you can bring it in the next day , always here guys with storys of the big one after LOC hour's looks like its going too be a good year !

I saw both of the dec reports from 2008 & 07 & 06 , they use too dump em right at russel thats the Greece lake ontario location but now with no stream there , whats the sence of that , and impact of the situation will they head for the genny or go west to ditches and creeks , im just wondering if there going too up the stocking on other streams around the county or even start stocking the genny with browns , seems like the DEC would put em some where that they would have a stream or a river too run , Reason i brought this up is becouse the warm water out flow from the station kept them browns and the bait fish there year around and now there just seems too be nothing holding them there from getting blown down the lake and no reason too return .also wounld'nt mind seeing the genny get them , seeing they get plucked out of I-creek and sandy pretty fast , I don't know think i got cabin fever and fish on the brain , thx for the input

Rob witch area is that , out by hamilin or irondquit ! im talking in between the river and the old russell station , that cove kinda area , are you saying there just upping the number at other locations or there still dumping off fish there in the lake ?

now that rusell station is a thing of the past and i know they used too stock the browns there (Greece) slater creek use too get great brown runs, where will those fish go ? no more stocking there ? or will they just dump them in the lake ! maybe the genny , just wondering if anyone else has thought about this or has info ,looked around on dec site did'nt come up with anything . always did good west of the river. and would hate too think that fishing there is going too go the same way .

german strain i beleave are the larger one's

JAX here ya go , i already got quite a few cindys http://cgi.ebay.com/Rapala-and-other-st ... 2a04064fb9

you musta cought a salmon and fallen down and bumped ur head !

probley a sheap head , lots of them in the river

The falls are on fire

I'll hit the water either Saturday or Sunday,whichever works out better.

I am sort of thinking the 3 or 4 hundred FOW and fishing for steel head.Does that make any sense this time of year or am I wasting my time??

i would't run right out that far off shore this time of year , if you have temp in 150fow id start there and head north ,you'll probley hit em in the 150 too 250 fow .

water is low on the river and don't look good with the resivior also being low . needs a few days of rain for sure

your going too like this one , reason i think i have had good luck with the crimps is i kind of used the knot set up in the mix of it , slide crimps on and up the main line , then i have the main line ran though the swivel two time's , then ya thread the two line's two gether pull tite and crimp, reason being this works for me is the double wrap around the swivel take's all the heat on the strike of a fish , ya i could see failure with crips if there was no raping of the swivel ! just pull though after awhile and bye bye dipsy ,flasher,fly but if done right this has proven too work as good as any , Also the same rapping of line on the swivel should be done should you you's crimps on your downrigger or yes you will drop your weight's sooner or later . all good info in here

I'm with ya guys on the bent hooks seems like i bent more this year and ran alot of new stuff , i was thinking 4x them 2x an't cutting it !

whats in the water up there ??????

water gremlin there is 2 older made in the USA ones on ebay right now , search (martin 72 fly reel) they pop up both of em are under 30 bucks as of a few minuts ago ! good luck hunting

snobber nose salmon

been roling with the barrels for 3yr on the wire if it ever brakes maybe ill try an knot , but correct me if i"m wrong , Don't knots make weak spots in your line ?

i use small berrel crimps , just like doing a rigger but smaller , also with a heavy duty ball bearing swivel.

yep you got it , slap a battery and a fish finder on the front of ur yak and and hang some riggers on the back , you'll get em

first sign is the weather and the 2nd is a down temp probe, seen it coming last week with temps moveing up 20ft a day it kind of rolled slower than most time when it happens over night , should bring the mature salmon closer too shore for there run look out if we get some good rain !

he's just speed reading agian , slow down alittle buffy

no problem and anytime ur ready too go agian , id like too get rays old ass up here but i think he's scared or sometin , Hey how long did in take for ur bro too get some color back into him , was he walking sideway or what ?? lol **** was funny and dam that bucket almost got me going

out the back is fine on a zero setting , i run one out of the cute all the time and two out each side !
