    It's real simple. When the net bag is clipped in the release it cannot flow with the boats current out into the fish and into the hooks in the fish's mouth before the hoop is under it. This isn't rocket science- just a helpful little aid in case you don't get the whole net under the fish at the right moment.

    No, had mostly light stuff out. Should have ventured out & plan to do so this weekend. I'm also gonna set up some flat lines w/ something heavier than my 6lb browns rigs. Let me know how you make out.

    To be honest w/ you I just use old worn out releases.

    2 Things about netting: 1. Resist the temptation to reach way far out to net the fish at the first opportunity. 2. Hold the net like a harpoon and when the fish is right there plunge it under and then pull net up & out by the hoop- not the handle (it will eventually break). I like to electric tape a release to my net handle and use it to hold the net bag so it doesn't flow into the fish and get snagged on the hooks, the release will pop off the net as the fish goes into it.

    Nice bit of early summer steel action in 30-60 FOW. Took fish on short cores, flat lines and slide divers, sticks and spoons. Marked a bunch of lakers but didn't target them. Something burned off to Canada on a flat line and snapped off so there must be some big kings in the mix. El Capitan keeping a close eye on the lines... Pictures came out sideways after uploading- not sure why?

    Get some glow for b4 first light, some green combos,some flash for sun, some dark purple,etc for cloudy for cloudy conditions. You should be able to put together 6 combos that will get you going in the right direction and Tom Allen's site is a great place to get them. Don't start reading posts and buying every ff combo that people mention. More fish have probably been caught on a white paddle and a green fly than 2000 people could eat in a lifetime.

    You need to spend more time fishing and less time polishing Hey are you gonna fish Barney's spring fling?

    Fishing only Outdoor card is $10, 1 year conservation fishing is $50. 10 day is around $30 so if you are going to cross the line more than 1 time more than 10 days apart in the calendar year you might as well go for the 1 year dose. Very easy to do on line. I wish our system was as simple and I really like the plastic card instead of a limp piece of paper that gets ruined easily.

    Another excellent day on the browns with some real nice Coho action mixed in. Best stretch for us was in front of the Marsh, mix of blk/silver and orange sticks. 2 to up to 2.5, 10 FOW. Kind of rough coming in in the 16'.

    Outrageous browns fishing. Spent hours at a time w/ at least 1 fish on and resetting another rod(or 2). Epic is the word that comes to mind!

    Kind of a tough day for us. Managed a few browns but no steel & couldn't buy a laker out near the can. Water was 36. Gonna do Oak Orchard tomorrow. As we were pulling out at Lewiston the trucks from the hatchery in Altmar were dropping baby steelies into the river - pretty cool!

    Power pro backing to core w/ Albright, core to 20# mono w/ Albright, Mono to swivel w/ Palomar, swivel to FC leader w/ Palomar, FC to snap w/ Palomar. Never had one fail in 7 years.

    Launched at the Coast Guard station (no dock). Hit some good browns about 3/4 mile west in 10-12' where we found stained water. At first the hot lines had colored sticks but after the sun came out the outside lines with black/silver where better. Just kept working the same colored water. Best fish was probably 13+, very few cookie cutters. Weird day, one minute it was 86 with a south wind and a few minutes later it was 45 with a north wind. Got real hot by afternoon.
