    Found some nice browns just outside a bit of warm, stained water east of Maxwell.

    Went West, looking for warm water or color and not finding it yet. Maybe something just of Boiler pt. Gonna turn and scope it out.

    It is my sense that the atlantic stocking program in LO has some issues in terms of it's rate of return on investment. For what I assume is a number of factors, the atlantics do not seem to compete well in LO and from what i understand the number of sizable adults/ stocked juveniles is lower than for the pacific salmonids. Even in the fingerlakes, where the atlantics are not competing with pacifics, the number of sizable adults seems low compared with the number of juvenile class fish. Perhaps someone with some fisheries knowledge will chime in on this thread but I have always assumed that the atlantics grow slower than the laketrout in the fingers and the kings in LO. I am thinking that this is why we don't see the stocking program for the atlantics work like other stocking programs.

    I killed some more brain cells this morning laying up another set of fiberglass and resin on a seat cowl mold for a café racer build. I'm finding this kind of work has a calming Zen to it with the additional side benefit that I'm less and less aware of this winter (and pretty much everything else) each day.

    I think this one of those "If you have to ask you can't afford it" deals...

    You guy's clearly need to get out more often (LOL)

    Thanks for pointing that out Paul! OK, so I just dumped my 1st 100 bucks into the pot for the 2015 season. Oranges looks good, the Cindy looks good, and I like that 'referee' pattern. hopefully the fish will agree...

    When you hook up with spring kings in skinny water they often blast right out of the water, so you know what you're dealing with. No matter what they do, on our boat, we clear the rods and just fight that fish.

    Don't see a good floating orange and they are a lot pricier than the Smithwicks too!

    Must admit I do not use a leader (don't like swivels or extra knots) and some of these rods are spooled with 6 lb maxi and have only size 27 reels(I have been spooled on those rigs before and try not to run them on LO but there are times when I pull them down from the arch cuz they have a stick all tied on and I've got a break off on another. We usually run 4 rods /side + 1 down the chute. Not sure they make the Starfire 401 1 piece rod anymore- mine are probably 10 years old.
  24. chowder
    Carefully. We run 8lb maxigreen on fully spooled Daiwa 47 lc reels. The rod is the key! We use eagle Claw 8' lights -very, very flexible rod. Have handled numerous spring kings on these setups. you can't be in a hurry and you need to be on your toes! I usually cut off a rod length of line each time I start out fishing.

    I love the orange smithwicks for colored water, can't seem to find them online this spring, need to restock!
