its been along time since I have fished over on the east end is the little salmon inn still open they used to have good food

I almost always run a flasher/fly on my deep rigger parked in the ice water most of the time that accounts for the bigger fish of the day

we fished that break at 500ft a lot of the smallest kings we have ever caught 2 big lakers and a few steelhead colors didn't seem to matter as long as It was in the top 30ft

thanks guys we decided on heading to the big lake instead

anybody have any news on the condition of the launch and lake in that area

he shall be in our prayers daily

we also were out on monday and went 5 for 19 just couldn't keep the hook in them 1 of the fish we landed was hooked in the side and 1 was hooked in the top of the head so I agree they are just slapping at the lures out of aggression. we were out of the oak fishing 65 -85 ft of water 60 -70 down with spin dr and fly and 1 jplug on the 300 copper

yes you should alot of times the junk lines are the most productive lines in the spread

it may sound like that but if you ask any of the elders that fished the rivers back then and still fish them now they would gladly tell you there is no comparison.

Well said Vince. Bandrus were you around back in the 80's or early 90's to see what a real run was like.Those runs were nuts not what we have had the last few years.

any braid should work albright knot with a dab of super glue

x2

the transducer is right .The battery is new. the red light is blinking. im just wondering if the transducer is bad

everything works great until you send it down more than 10 feet. Anyone else ever had this problem. and what to do to fix it

if i could only have 2 it would be the 72 montey or the white with green dots

FINGER LAKES TACKLE DREAMWEAVER, AND MOONSHINES WORK FOR ME AND SEEM TO HOLD UP WELL

fished Sunday found a good temp break straight out front 200-250 ft went 7 for 8 with 1 king the rest Steelhead with a couple of them being over 10 pounds all trout released kept the King for the smoker,all fish came in the top 35 ft on anything green or black

Notice Chas didnt want the wonderbread spoons

i will second the deep six of the wonderbread spoons as for the sea sick waddler i run them consistantly because they produce for me as do any spoons with black green or glow.Hey maybe i should try a super glow wonderbread. NOT!

10 ft of 30# floro

no we were straight out front in 100 to 180 ft of water pretty much all by ourselves

fishing couldnt get any better than it was this morning.We went 24 for 31 mostly steelies with a few smaller kings and 3slimers we did lose 1 screamer off a 40 ft rigger all the rest of the fish came on splitshot rigs and 3colorcore off the boards.watermelon and mixed veggies were are best producers.wish i could post pics some of the steelies are rather large in th 12 to 15 pound range simply unbelievable. And all fish released to fight another day
