Lost a three colors of lead along with the 19 strand backer when my “improved Albright” knot failed — braid to 19’strand. Not sure what I did wrong maybe tag ends to short. Frustrating, probably not worth it. Might just go with some snap weights to add versatility Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thanks, yes I’m learning bit by bit. You guys have really helped. Much appreciated. I Used to just randomly throw stuff out there and hope it worked. But paying attention to details and understanding certain situations has improved my success. With an approaching storm front and reduced light today, I changed up my spread to some mag glows and got two bites on raspberry carbon, one a trophy steelhead for Lake Erie, 10 lbs, jumped 7 times!! I also caught a COHO in Lake Erie today, running mini orange dodger and coho fly which I learned from @yankeetroller post. Seems to be decent amount of Coho in Lake Erie if you try.. strange must come down from Lake Huron ?? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Yeah man, unfortunately I don't get to make it to Lake O more than a couple times a year... I fish primarily Lake Erie where the fishing is incredible but we don't have Kings! so I have a lot more time to think and plan rather than the more fun technique -- trying and finding out. I want to maximize the experience for my dad for our upcoming trip -- he's not in great shape -- could be his last. Sorry for all my posts.

Is there any harm in running glow stuff in normal daylight not super deep? I suppose if it was a partial glow with UV qualities it would reflect some light and be okay. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thanks @Keep'n it Reel makes sense. I'm going to label my glow flashers with a sharpie mark and probably separate them in a different box along with the glow flies. Some of them are all glow but others just have a small piece of glow tape the ladderback in glow. At what depth would you consider deep water, low light, assuming full sun. > than say 70ft?

I’ve always paid attention to finding good coordinating color combinations for flasher/flys, but what about glow? Should you match a glow flasher with a glow fly ? Does it matter ? I was in my shop rigging up all my flasher fly combinations and then I turned out the lights and was surprised what I saw… flashers I thought were glow weren’t and vice versa, same for the flies…. I had glow flies on non glow flashers and glow flashers with non glow flies. I’m trying to do better at paying attention to the smaller details to become a better fisherman… but if I’m overthinking this stuff please tell me to STFU!!

Thanks, I mostly have the meat rigs with teasers but will pick up some heads by themselves to mix in Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I am doing some planning for my late July trip out of Wilson and was just wondering if you guys know of any companies that will ship out cut bait? I don't believe there's anything in Wilson. I can always drive out to Boat Doctor in Olcott and grab some, but would rather focus on fishing once I get in town. Familiar Bite https://cart.gltsupplies.com/cut-bait/ used to ship them out but everything on their site says out of stock, so not sure if they are still in business. What is your preferred way to run meat -- with the 3 teaser flies or no teasers, just meat head behind the flasher?

Great to hear reports like this.... hopefully July will be a great month!

I like Malin 7 strand the best, but it's kind of hard to find in the 1000ft spools so I recently bought a spool of torpedo. We'll see how that goes

You feel they run better without? You just using a size 2 or 3 snap swivel? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I’ve been running split rings on all my spoons… but I’ve read some posts about people saying if the manufacturer doesn’t include one, you don’t need one. I just assumed they were trying to save a nickel by not including one to improve the profit margin… seems like the ring allows the natural actual of the spoon to take over but I guess I’ve never really experimented without the ring… What are you guys doing?
