Brown Trout Distribution in Lake O

If you’re worried about the insulators… I use Amish Outfitter downrigger snubbers and have new mag 5s. I reached out to canon about them working as an insulator and they said they will work as the insulator to stop the auto retrieve. I’ve used em multiple times and it stops at the surface like it should. So, from bottom to top I have the rigger weight, snubber, probe, then release. Hope this helps.
-
That’s just what I do. You can put the probe in at any point and adjust from there too.

I usually put a spoon on my probe rigger and send it down first and look for temp. That way you’re fishing as you put everything else out.

You want your shallower running lines the furthest away from the boat. So your 10 color. That way if a fish takes, it will clear over the 300 copper as the fish works back behind the boat.

Downrigger release and rubber bands.
greenboatluke replied to Odie 1's topic in Open Lake Discussion
I attended one of Dan’s seminars and he uses Blacks releases and rubber bands. He half hitches the rubber band 4 times around the line so it won’t slip. He’ll use one for light line and/or spoons. He’ll use 2 (just 1 half hitch as the 1st band is a stopper of sorts) or 3 and up to 4 bands when towing heavier gear like FF or in heavier currents. I asked him more about it and he said that you’ll detect (1) shakers, (2) decent fish and have more time to get to the rod and (3) it’ll help set the hook better. You want your releases tight enough to not break the bands but release after some good tugging by a decent fish. This will be my first season trying bands. We’ll see. Hope this helps. -

How do you get the "Fishy" taste out of trout?

You could research/contact some of the bracket companies for specs on the mounting side measurements. Then see how close it would be to your main if you mounted it all the way up at the bumper rail to the bottom of the hull. I have a spring loaded one and I like it, gets it up and out of the water when not in use. Also ez steer would be the way to go to link it to the main steering. I have one on mine and it works well.

Welcome back! I’m on the east end too, in NY though. Best of luck out there!

Not the most current report, but threw together a video from mid-June. Went out for browns on the east end. Found a good amount of fish!

It’s Jefferson and St Lawrence counties that are closed to c&r with artificial lures during the off season. St Lawrence county was actually a more recent addition to the closed areas. And they moved opening day to June 15th, I think to give it a hard date. I think your point about closing more areas is a great idea.
