    I agree. I use 12lb-14ln line on downriggers with spoons and 20lb flasher flies. I also use sunline, so it is the actual breaking strength. I was using big game but realized it all breaks at a much higher rate, so 20 is like 40lb. I do love divers and have 100 and 150 32lb copper set ups but only use if I have enough people in my boat. I am just out to have fun and catch fish.

    Hard to lean anything from a fish that has a meat rig, diver and 150 cable on him.

    If the fish were as big as they use to be I would be out 1-2 weeks of July again.

    I don't fish derbies unless it just aligns with being out there anyways. I love fishing. I was guide/tournament muskie angler for a while and realized making it business took away from the joy I experience on the water. I do however enjoy taking out new people and teaching them fish. Some of my fondest memories are Lake O with my late father and my Uncle, who I will be Salmon fishing with on a Lake Oahe in July. He is 86 and still gets after it on Lake Huron. I do hope they figure out the fishery. There is something about king salmon fishing when it could be a mid 30's to 40 lb fish. Sure MI and WI still get those fish ,but not like Lake O did. It wasn't just a needle in the haystack. Cranking in mid teens to mid twenties on 30-40 mono, that is just a different deal. I do also realize there are fleas now. It just seems quantity vs quality is the goal. I like giants. These tournaments in Lake O were based on the giants. You get giants, you get crowds again.

    I think people use crazy heavy equipment these days. I use 12-14lb on spools with light rods and 20lb on paddles. I know we caught kings to 42lbs in Lake O with 14lb line. It is super fun. All fishing is fun, but Salmon are super fun.

    You don't have the big fish of the past. We came every summer for 1-2 weeks, but the fishing in Lake O is not better than any other Great Lakes and the salmon are currently smaller.

    Thanks, I have tried them. I prefer the chinooks. In CO for trolling trout usually 11 mile. Super fun with Kokanee rods on the riggers and light rod set up with chinook divers. I go to Lake Oahe and Lake Michigan for salmon a few times a year.

    What sizes and settings for them. Thanks.

    Hi,I have had great luck with size 2 chinook for trout here in Colorado. The larger fish smash the divers. Any reason not to use the size 5's for salmon fishing? I would guess you can run 2 on side as well. thanks.

    Hi, I have been running two divers for trout on smaller lakes with success. I haven't ran them salmon fishing since I historically fish alone and can't run enough rods on those trips. I will have enough this summer and have 4 wire divers and 2 braid. how tight can you turn or do you need to make big sweeping turns? Just curious, I realize I will learn as I go, just won't get much practice and the ones I run for trout and much shallower. Thanks.
