  1. Green number 5/0 cowbells called lemon-lime. With a florescent yellow or charteuse spinnin glow,  the type with a peanut fly on it.  Like you said I fish it 5 feet off the bottom but it'll be tough to do that without downriggers.  My last trip out of Henderson a couple weeks ago I caught 22 lakers in 2 days. Down your end of the Lake  I am not sure when your best chances are.   I troll at 1.8 for the lakers.  I am fishing at 150 to 160FOW

  2. Where are you fishing out of? Just a few hints here.one thing a spinanglow is usually meant to be fished behind cowbells if you fish a with flasher and fly a stud fly is a good all around 1 with the 2 face uv flasher. For kings A 124 mm (sz 4) deeper diver set on 0  is a good dipsy style  to use with 30 pound Power Pro and about 250 feet out at 2.6 miles per hour. That should get you about 80 feet down.  A size 5 deeper diver will get you down to about 100 to 110 feet.  A 6 foot leader from the dipsy Is fine But it's gonna be one hell of a Battle to get a good sized salmon into the net. a 5 foot leader is even okay. 21 inches from the flasher to THE back of the hooks of the fly... late  In the year 90 to 120 fow early in the year 120 to 150 feet.  I have a friend I'm fishing with this weekend out of Henderson who has a downrigger on the back of his jetski. we're going to try for lakers I'll let you know  how he makes out.

  3. I just got back from Henderson stayed at Henchens Marina and cabins.  Fished  from 150 to 160 feet a lot of lakers on cowbells, 5 feet off the bottom, and 2-3 kings a day on flasher flies, 90 to 110 down, none of the charters seem to be hittin no more than 2 to 3 kings a day mostly in the 8 to 12 pound class.  It's my first year fishing for Kings out of Henderson waiting to see how this season shapes up. I'll be back up in about 2 weeks.  Send me back a report on how you make out... Good luck

  4. Last trip on big O my fish hawk probe started reading 3.8  Degrees. Which from other information on the website I heard is a death blow for the probe. The unit is 16 months old which is covered under the 2 year warranty from fishhawk so I registered a warranty issue through their website via email they got back to me the same day and are sending me a new probe and said I could keep the old one. I was fortunate it happened while it is still under warranty because I heard other guys that had the same issue That weren't as fortunate. My sympathies are with them. And that's my story
