I've seen that link posted on 4 or 5 other boards, but have been unable to get more than a minute in to it because of that godawful non-musical garbage being played over the top of it. This time I muted the sound and finally saw the entire clip. Why do so many people ruin otherwise cool vids by dubbing garbage music over it?? Tim

Park right in the parking lot at the Artpark Facility at the end of S 4th street in Lewiston. Head south towards the river along the fence and there is a metal stairs down to the water, if you continue south along the footpath, you'll also come to a ravine that you can climb down as well. Tim

Artpark. Much easier access to the water and plenty of fish in that area. The walk down (and back up) at both the hole and whirlpool are not for the faint of heart. with the depth, slip floats work better, expecially if there is decent water clarity. when Erie is pumping chocolate milk over the falls, the fish will be right on the ledge/drop right under your rod tip, but if you've got 2-3 foot visibility, they'l lbe further offshore in deeper water. Tim

You WERE joking.... Right???? Tim

Happy Birthday Bob Tim

Nice fish guys. The only Atlantic I've ever gotten was a slob I caught off the olcott pier at night in September of 1994 on an egg sack. Jumped like crazy, lot of fun. That was a beautiful male in full spawning trim, big kyped up jaw. He was 34 inches and a weighed 14 1/2 lbs. It was such a pretty fish, the guy I was fishing with wanted to get it mounted, so unfortunately we kept it, and then he ended up not freezing it properly and the fins freezer burned and he never did end up taking it to the taxidermist No pictures unfortunately, that was before digital cameras and I never brought my nice 35mm Minolta SLR out on the pier. Wish I at least had some pics now, as he sounds like it was one of the bigger atlantics caught on the lake in recent times. Tim

Rich, hope your Dad has a quick and complete recovery. Tim

Sorry Rich, those guys aren't looking for employment... cuts into the benefits dontchaknow Tim

+1 Tim

I believe it says less than 21 ft, not 21 ft or less, so IMO, you should be good to go. Tim

I'll second that!! Tim

looks like a larger version of the luhr jensen hot shot side planer. Tim

stingdave, Whoever told you that was wrong. All of the pacific salmon species die after spawning, that is their life cycle and th's just how it is. They must have been confusing coho with steelhead, or perhaaps atlantic salmon, which can be repeat spawners. Tim

Oh I understand that, but with the number of fish that don't go to the hatchery and spawn in the river, I really don't think that's a problem, and if that's the goal, I guess my question is, why the coho only? Tim

Now why on earth would the hatchery return spawned out coho to the river? They die too, just like chinook. That just doesn't make any sense to me. Tim

In the tributaries above the first bridge during the specified times of year..... YES you are, and you can thank the unethical, unskilled scumbag snaggers for it. Tim

Not hard to find http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/31420.html Tim

I haven't heard officially, but I know there were a ton of both kings and cohos at the hatchery in plenty of time for their usual Columbus Day weekend egg take. I don't think we'll have a problem this year like we did in 07. I know the Credit River had lots of fish and the Canadians had their target number of king eggs collected and fertilized well ahead of schedule as well. I believe they will be collecting coho very soon if they are not doing it already. Tim

Sorry Bob, we're located in Niagara County Tim
