  1. You also may want to try running a few really short ones, like 16 inches or so. Watch what happens with the action and jerking motion of the fly or spoon behind the board when you set it. It gets way more action with the short leaders, some days it’s the only way they will hit it, it triggers strikes.

    have to set your drags a little looser because with the short leader, less stretch more leverage for fishy!

     

     

  2. Thanks for the info, it’s a really nice morning.

    started in about 130 strong west wind, a little choppy, some fish marks, surface was 68 down at 100 to get 45 degrees.

    Two hits right away, didn’t get either fish, then a hookup on a big laker, weighted in at 18 pounds at North Rose scale. By then we were almost to Oswego, took about an hour and 45 minutes to get back to Sodus going very slow, very rough by 10 am

    thanks again for sharing info

     

  3. Perfect morning, not a good sign when you hit the lake at 6 am and there are no other boats to be seen.

    set up in 125 headed out never saw much bait or fish out to about 200, saw a few boats farther east, not many. Circled back in to about 135 started to see a few fish and bait pods. Caught a small steelhead and one nice king in that water. 

    45 degree water was 100 feet down, everything above that was 50 to 60 degrees at all depths, Both fish came in mid 50 degree water about 75 down

    good luck
