I'd be using Ugly stik ultralights (5 1/2 ft?) on Keuka for those lakers. Thye double as good perch and panfish rods as well

Doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out that this is bad for the lake as is the unscreened water intake that is grinding up the fish and bait.

Pappy you have a PM

As a rule of thumb I use the 1/0 on small spoons (2-3 inches) a 2/0 for most medium spoons and for some mags 3/0. Size 2/0 or 3/0 will work on most mags on real light flutters I may downsize1 size to accomodate the weight change. The eyelet on the hooks comes open from the package so you have to take off the treble and then carefully close the eyelet with pliers

I have always used Mustad Siwash stainless steel #9510XXX salmon hooks in sizes 1/0, 2/0 and 3/0. I have never bent one ever.....they have a long point and rather compressed barb and are relatively easy to get out with just needle nose pliers.

If you just want manuals find some Penn manuals very reliable and last a long time They make both a short (24 inch?) and long (48 inch?) boom. The Penn Swivelmatic bases although pricey are the ones to get (The ones with the shark teeth look).

Check with electrical supply places. In a pinch 600 ft of 30 lb AFW Surfstrand braided copper will work It just doesn't cut through the water quite as nicely as single strand.

Admittedly it can happen but in over 50 years of using the singles I have had maybe a half dozen at most with them through the eye (as mentioned smaller fish and usually rainbows). I would compare this with all of the floaters I have seen while on other boats that resulted from being too long out of water and rough handling while getting trebles out so it is again mainly a personal preference issue and I think better hookups with SS singles because the hooks don't work against each other as with the trebles. I arrange my singles with the hook pointing upward which I think helps with hookset. Good cases can be made either way.....

Matt may be right...the mayflies are a little larger than midges which are about the same size as mosquitoes they both are annoying though Fish do eat both.

Steelhead are highly nomadic and roam all over the place. During the summer months they may be found in 200 ft of water or 600. June is usually considered a "transitional" month on Lake O with the water temps starting to set up the thermocline and the fishing is often unpredictable for nearly any trout or salmon species and each year it can be different too. To further complicate the issue the lake generally warms from the western section then toward the east and from shorelines outward toward depth and it is not uniform throughout the lake and migrating baitfish spawn and then go deeper so the steelies may basically be anywhere in the lake. It often takes a lot of trial and error searching for them and some of the time they are caught as accidental catches like the Atlantic salmon as well while specifically fishing for King salmon and may be found with the juveniles or teens especially mixed in. If you are going to be fishing mainly shallow areas (e.g. within 100 ft.) you would probably be better off targeting lakers and browns percentage-wise to keep the kids interested.

I doubt if Opossum Shrimp look much like mosquitos;however many trout species in the Finger Lakes do feed on the mayfly hatches that occur all over the surface of the water. They were horrible during the Lake Trout Derby on Seneca and do sort of resemble mosquitos.
