Thanks for the introduction - in the coming weeks I'll be putting together some slides to walk through during the seminar - we love our brown trout fishing and can't wait for this! Rumor has it there might be a special guest who may present a couple of slides on the topic as well. See you there!

Redundancy - my opinion is you should have one pump that can be operated in an auto mode with a float switch and at a minimum a second pump that you can switch on if needed. The biggest thing a bilge pump buys you in the event of an emergency is time - with a big enough hole they won't keep you from sinking but should be sized to buy you time where you can either find and minimize water ingress or give you a fighting chance to stay afloat should a rescue be needed - especially important in cold water....

For anyone who also plugs into shore power (you share a common ground with the entire marina if you do) you should consider installing a galvanic isolator on board. Galvanic Isolators Explained | BoatUS

My son likes your boat - but it will be a couple years before he gets his first boat! Good luck with the sale - hopefully we are looking at your new boat next year out of our windshield if you are coming back to red dock

How much are you asking - not looking to buy but didn't see it listed in the ad.

No spoons in our spread although did hear a few guys took some on spoons. Best flies for us were A-Tom-Mik ultra green glow (aka 41) and Glow Hammers early. A-Tom-Mik B-Fly, Stud, and UV190 in the sun. A-Tom-Mik Steel Gator meat rig took 3 of our 4 meat bites. Couple other decent kings my kiddo took - nothing LOC worthy though.

My opinion - right now flasher/flies are outfishing j-plugs. As fish transition to skinnier water plugs will get better but on the east end the majority of the kings in 80-120 fow are falling to flasher/fly combos. This past weekend we had 18 flasher fly bites, 4 meat bites and 0 plug bites for a total of 11 hours of fishing across two days - landing 14 adult kings. As others have said fish the marks not the temp - most of our bites came 52 degrees and warmer.

Not exactly. Has nothing to do with prevailing currents - everything to do with the Coriolis Effect - it’s why low pressure systems rotate counter clockwise in northern hemisphere and clockwise in Southern Hemisphere. When wind blows east or northeast it pushes water in that direction. The rotation of the earth causes a deflection “to the right” according to the right hand rule when dealing with vector cross products. The resulting force causes the moving water to deflect to the right so water moving east will deflect to the north thus the warm water near shore pushes north (when looking at it from the south shore) as water moves out It fills back in with colder water underneath and causes the temp to decline on the inside. That’s how it actually works.

I know what it means - it’s just a dumb term in my opinion that doesn’t represent what’s really happening or the mechanics of it all….

First off the lake doesn't "flip" - that's a total misnomer. What actually happens is warmer surface waters get pushed offshore and colder water fills in from underneath. When this happens it can do one of two things - if it doesn't completely ice out it can bring salmon in closer or move them higher in the column where most people struggle to catch them - if it gets too cold on the inside then moving out a little deeper until you find more stable water is generally a better bet.
