No pictures of the fish? How did they taste?

Loon Line Speed every so often. Wash off with water and small amount of soap after each use. OK, almost after each use.

Inland or lake run fish?

For lake run many tribs to Ontario or Erie will hold trout.

Inland ? in central and western NY I fish a bunch of different water they keep open all year. These are all...

Slow down and have patience. Instead of rushing to the water and casting right away learned to slow down, look at the water and see what is happening. Better to wait, look and learn before I start...

I wonder how strong of a magnet one could use? I?d like the ability to pull the staff with magnetism back when it gets away and is floating down stream. You see the other day while fishing with a...

I have used the Loon Line Speed product for years and like it very much. I do not have any applicator or kit, just apply it with a rag. I have used some other loon products such as knot sense and...

MFTG - Not certain if the SB is covered in this new C&R area. I believe that both the SB and main branch get way to warm in summer to support natural repro. However, DEC believes fish go over the...

Know these listed waters fairly well. IMHO these are good regs, but there have been some loud protests from anglers who use bait. Seems to me having a small C&R area simply provides more fish in...

How many ways are there to determine a trout?s last oral intake? Thinking as a volunteer firefighter / EMT perhaps we can provide the trout a substance to induce vomiting? Or, maybe we can attempt...

Was attending a work seminar at a hotel in Syracuse. Seminar was interrupted when first tower was hit. Some at this seminar had fellow workers who died in the first tower ? insurance business. ...

Also saw the sad news this morning. My 5 y/o son loved him and I enjoyed his shows and more so his apparent passion for what he did. A very sad loss. Yes, a very freaky way to go. I?m no expert...

I always wear the orange hat when fishing during deer season. Never had a close call and hope I never will. Plus, it is a very similar color to some of the sucker spawn I tie for steelhead?maybe it...

Not sure about a BB change, but I no longer squint when reading this :lol:

Tying the sucker spawn can be done a few different ways. I?ll show you how I do it and we can try to use the material you have and see what happens. Not sure if you saw my other post regarding C&R...

Not only do you need to worry about the correct color, but you also need to consider how the fish like their eggs. You know, sunny side up, poached, scrambled?. :lol:

Use natural & lighter...

I tie a pattern that is similar to the Nobby Hopper on this site. Difference is I use yellow yarn instead of chenille. Twist yarn at the hook bend to give hopper a butt, then rewrap yarn forward. ...

What a funny and great story. I will have to give that a try. Anyone ever try fishing for woodchucks? They outnumber the rabbits in my area.

Chris, If you fish the Erie tribs frequently then I guess you probably know (but others may not realize) that the stream water is most likely too warm right now for a successful C&R. When the water...

You can have good and bad days fishing for Steel or any fish for that matter - no matter how experienced you are. Fly fishing requires patience. I think you need to be prepared to spend time...

DeaDrift, I see by your profile you reside in Buffalo. My residence is 35 miles South East of Buffalo. So, it would be very possible to meet up on a stream. If you like you can send me a private...

My vote is for fall ? September through November. They go on a feeding frenzy to fatten up for winter. Did well in the fall years ago in WI and also more recently in NY.

Similar situation occurred a few years ago in New York State. I recall lots of well intentioned ideas to save us all by spreading as much mosquito killing aerosol as one could buy. Based upon my...

Swinging streamers can be fun and effective. Cast upstream from the spot you are targeting at about a 45 deg angle from the bank. Throw a quick up stream mend so the streamer sinks some. The...

See link below to Hooked on Fishing - Not on Drugs. I do not have any first hand experience with this program. It sounds like this program is designed as a preventative process as opposed to...

Gig & all, thanks for all the info!! Hopefully these discussions will help us all to be a little safer and will benefit both us and the wild animals.
