  1. Lol.. Not liking the long range forecast tho cold front pushing in late Saturday night. Should make for another tough one.. Good luck and see ya out there Mike Sent from my SM-N910V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  2. They do make different lengths of rods so you would need to figure distance from main motor to kicker and make sure rod is long enough to turn motor all the way in both directions. .

  3. Nice job and nice report John... Good news, I got the materials for the All Dressed Up Fly so will have them on the website soon.. I had a crazy weekend getting the family cottage open and docks in the water this weekend and Mother's Day today so I didn't get a chance to fish this weekend but hopefully will be out there both days next weekend.. Definitely see you at Keuka Sunday tho..Mike Sent from my SM-N910V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  4. Okay guys another really really tough decision but in honor of our law enforcement I think it's a great idea that we all decide to name a fly after them with all the stuff they deal with on an everyday basis especially in the world we live in today I think we all can agree on that, they at least deserve a fly named after them.. So BLM FLY (Blue Lives Matter) it is.. Congratulations Irish56 I will be getting ahold of you shortly.. On another note and it's not a bad thing so don't take this in the wrong way or get upset with the site but I've been asked to tone it down a little bit with my advertising on here since I'm not a major sponsor yet but I hopefully will be soon this is an awesome site and I respect the administrators and all their hard work that they do every day keeping this site up and running for us to use without this site there would still be a lot of us in the dark .. Thanks to all you guys for all your help and support it means a lot to me.. I have launched a web page where you can purchase and look through galleries of the Flies and pictures of fish caught on the Flies anybody that catches any fish on the Flies feel free to email me at the address on the site and I will post you guys on the wall, love seeing these pictures and hearing your guys success stories.. We are also the first trolling fly manufacturer "I believe" to have an actual app that you can get for your Android or iPhone device, I will post a link to both the app and the webpage on here. We have also launched a Facebook page you can look us up there under Iron Duke Trolling Flies and hopefully soon we'll be able to play The Name Game on there.. Thanks again guys..

  6. Wow guys!! Definitely going to be an extremely tough decision on this one some really really great names. But in the meantime while we wait for Thursday the website is officially open check it out let me know what you think thanks guys for all the support I really appreciate it you guys are awesome http://www.ironduketrollingflies.com/ Thanks again Mike Sent from my SM-N910V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  7. I was thinking the same thing Rabbit. . If you are tying up to a dock make sure you spin the bow so it's facing out into the Lake and your trim is up all the way and some good bumpers.. Good spot to fish all thru that area and the other side for that matter too... Good luck..Mike Sent from my SM-N910V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  8. Did a little research for you and Big John's website is showing Parts but they say they are all parts that you can do it yourself one place you might want to check and they might be able to help you out I know that they do Scotty and Cannon riggers but try screwy Louie's in Fair Haven New York... http://www.screwylouiessportshop.com/ Mike Sent from my SM-N910V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Thanks John.. Tough fishing for Sure plus the wet weather made it miserable. . We decided to stay in the skinny water and pound boards off the docks.. 5 color and 200 copper did well for us pulling browns to the boat... We did move out to 100 fow later in the morning and we're able to get a couple lake trout of the dipsys pulling a Iron Duke Glow Green Flash fly but definitely had to work all day my crew never took a break for even a minute.. It was one of those days were if it could go wrong it did, many tangles a few broken lines, had to replace 300 ft of downrigger cable on the fly and even at the end of the day when we thought our bad luck might be over for the day we pull in to the launch and have a flat tire on the trailer.. Want to thank Josh and Pat for helping make a quick fix of that... After all of that we were extremely glad to bring home a 3rd place finish. . Great job to all that fished and see you all at Keuka Mike Sent from my SM-N910V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

  15. You can get double keels or I just moved the knot up further to the front of my otter and that made a world of difference. . Not sure how you have your reels set up but mine are mounted at the rear of my hard top and I mounted a small pulley at the front of my hard top to run the planer line thru and that has helped a lot too.. One thing about otter boards is they are great in rough water in the past with the older style boards with no keels have actually had a board flip over a few time and run all the way across my spread causing an unbelievable mess lol... Not Fun!! Mike Sent from my SM-N910V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  16. Nice Brown !! Those fish are their just gotta do some searching. . Pound the planner boards right on shore with bright colored sticks and spoons you'll find some.. Mike Sent from my SM-N910V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

  20. We had a stellar day as well running a charter putting our clients on plenty of fish including a few nice browns and a ton of salmon between 14" to 20" long .. Their arms were tired out by 9 am so we moved out for some laker action.. Was a great day on the water and glad to see you too John and yes was definitely a bit chilly first thing in the morning that why I looked like a mummy all wrapped up in my winter coat...Love the pics thanks againMike Sent from my SM-N910V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  21. Absolutely John... I have the materials on order and once I get a good supply I will add them to available flies.. Great looking fish and pics ... I have quite a few people writing me on a daily basis now and sending pics of their success with our flies and that couldn't make me happier but please don't stop posting them and sending them to me.. Building a website right now and need them for that plus I just realky enjoy reading them and seeing them.. thanks again Mike Sent from my SM-N910V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

  24. Lunch Box has won this week's Name Game he will receive two free unrigged flies .. I just sat down with the family and they all agreed after a pretty tight race between a few names and they all came to agreement on Psychedelic Lemonade. . CONGRATULATIONS LUNCH BOX!!

  25. Well I've decided to get into the trolling fly business.. After building flies in the off season for hobby it has become more of a passion and want to make these flies available to others as well.. I'm building a Web site right now with an online store where you will be able to purchase them in the near future.. Anyone who may be interested in any of these before the website takes off just PM me and I will send you prices on either rigged or unrigged flies which ever you prefer.. Our inventory is building everyday... On the Finger Lakes Discussion forum I've been posting a new fly up each week and playing the name game where anyone who chooses to can take a chance at naming the fly and if your new fly name is picked you will win two free unrigged flies delivered to you door... Here's a few of the flies we have available now but many many more to come in the near future. Thanks Mike. Sent from my SM-N910V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
