    And also Cuomo made a speech the other day . I can't stand him or his policies but he did a great job with it . Chuck and Nancy showed some good leadership in congress . Trump and Pence have done good work also . Everyone working together for once . Doing what we sent them there for . It took this . It's funny how every few years something comes up that forces us to work together to solve a big problem and stop bickering . I still say it's being overblown .

    It looks like panic & fear has taken hold of some . It has become apparent to me that To many people in this country fly by the seat of their pants day by day . They are not prepared for a bad situation that may arise . And seemingly feel that the gov will be their to bail them out . This should serve as a wake up call to them ( but it probably won't ) that they should prepare themselves for the unknown that may occur that would disrupt their lives .

    It's an election year All I've heard beforee the last 6 weeks is that The current administration has not done enough about this . So last night you saw what politicly he was forced into doing . Personally , I don't like all the scare tactics being used . It is creating panic in the mentally week . Sure you should prepare yourself , but you should always do that . I tried to but toilet paper 2 nights,ago and the shelves were bare. And this is what the media and Dems want because this is their only chance of getting Biden in there . Can you imagine where we would be with a Hillary economy if this happened ? We would be screwed. Also most of our meds are produced in China .And they have threatened to cut us off. Trump has been saying since the beginning he wants all this manufacturing to come back to the U.S. And he gets railed for it . Guess he was right .

    San Francisco declared a state of emergency with no cases reported . REALLY ? Is this the way it's,going to go from now on each flu season ? 18000 people died from the flu last year in this country . Granted this ones bad but we have had,bad strains before . The media tends to try an scare us and as Americans , we tend to go along with it . And the politicians try and use it for their own reasons . I will do what I normally do and not take the chicken little approach . My condolences to all affected.

    Back when I use to stream trout a lot opening day was Mepps, Rooster rails , panther Martin's or small leaf worms with a split shot bounced on bottom . (Unless of course it was Naples , and we drifted sponge before you could use real eggs) That worked great till the trees popped and it warmed up . Then the fly guys kicked our ass as the bugs started to hatch . So we started doing that . IMO, take your boys to somewhere remote , off the beaten path where you can bond with them and cherish your time with them now because pretty soon they will want to do there own thing . Make it a yearly thing and maybe keep the date the same and make your reservations around new year so everyone can clear their calender . The spots I pm you about are just that .

    Sorry , but for the whole experience , nothing beats the ADKs . So much to do up there . The air is,so fresh . And I could go on . It is my experience that once warm weather hits early June , the stream trout bite turns into a fly fishing bite .

    I think the extra runoff washes more nutrients in the lake , not less .

    My God given rights have everything to do with it . After thinking about this since the dust settled , I have come to these conclusions If someone breaks into my/ your house , they have made a conscious decision to take their own life into their own hands . They don't know truly if someone is home or not. I know i can't engage anyone outside my home . But I can make life hard for them . Lastly , I refuse to cower in my house and hide in a corner and let an intruder control circumstances that could be detrimental to my loved ones or me . I'm not going indiscriminately let the lead fly , but if I feel threatened , they dug their own grave . Not mine .

    A good hook for the money is an Eagle claw LS 374 . I like the 1/0 size for a standard NK 28 or similar . Also for meat heads and I replace At least the Rear hook on a #4 j plug . I use a 2/0 on Mags . Balance is everything . Generally try to match what came on it to be sure . They are sharp , don't bend and are reasonably priced. Sometimes the fish are hooked so good , i have to break the hook to get it out . I like a bronze hook on a black or dark spoon , but I don't know if it really matters .

    I may buy one to customize my rigs . You can also freshen up your stick baits by spraying a coat or 2 of lacquer . Gets rid of that tackle box rash . Some very fine steel wool does wonders Goof off or paint thinner takes off tape residue . You can always paint the front of the spoon all black and make spooks or laser spooks or glo green tape , etc.

    X2 on the Oak Sandy area. Lakeside and Hamlin beach state parks both offer camping . Bald eagle has a full service Marina and is in the center of both . The lake has usually set up by then and the mid summer fishing can be game on that time .

    If you really want to do it right , you need to strip off the finish coat first . It can be lacquer , or epoxy coat . I use strip ease or something similar. Then you can use car polish or x fine steel wool to shine it .the tumbler would probably be great for this . I will then clean of the wax with paint thinner rag for a good bond for paint . I paint with spray cans although I wish I had an air brush . Then a few coats of clear . Usually lacquer. Put on tape if you want . They come out like new .

    I remember way back when fleas first showed up . We were getting this stuff on the line I thought was cottonwood . Fished Mid Aug every day for a week as my buddy was up , it was a real problem the first few days . Captain's were on the radio ( this was before cell phone ) complaining about it . You would see mates on the back off the boat slapping the rods hard down on the water . Couldn't reel fish in , you know the drill . I noticed I wasn't getting it on my cables. Figured it was the wire or diameter . So that night I took 2 rods ,stripped off some line and spliced 150 section of the 40# line I used for squid leaders . Next day , no fleas ! Did 2 more that night and problem was over . After listening to captain's on the radio , I got on and shared it .They blew me off . Told a mate that morning in the parking lot and he procedded to tell me how it wouldn't work . My buddy laughed and I shook my head and walked away . Shortly after that Cortland came out with Flea flicker . I used $2 49 spool of Mason mono ,which did 4 rods . Got on a website that was the predecessor to this one and told them and said remember you heard it from me first . Took a lot of crap about it not being sporting ,it would not work , etc. Guys were saying pink Ande ,spraying line with WD 40 etc for solutions . Now heavy line is standard procedure . It's satisfying to know I was the first to figure it out . No thank yous are necessary I was first,Me and a guy named Frank from the east end who I contacted . He told me he was using 40# because he did not want to loose his expense flasher And found out it wasn't getting the fleas .
