Two types of flies used: trolling flies, and streamers - each a different presentation. The trolling flies are usually run either behind a dipsy diver using an attractor in front of the fly such as a Spin Doctor or flasher or the older dodgers and are made from mylar, tinsel, or other lightweight reflective material. The streamers are slightly larger versions of the type of fly used with flyrods and trolled subsurface usually with small amount of weight on leader in front of it on conventional setups without a dipsy trolled at distance from the boat often in shallower water situations or slightly below surface or on it out deep. Thus they are two very different approaches to trolling. In the Fingers green and white seem to be effective colors for trolling flies but it all depends on fish moods too The streamers are designed to imitate or represent hatches of insects or the very young of fish. OR you can make your own subject to your own imagination

Unless someone has been on the short end of the stick and stranded out there they may think dollars and cents is the main issue but once that happens your comment becomes VERY clear. You are right in your thinking safety concerns come way before the money. It only took once to make a believer out of me

I was advised by some top reel repair folks to put some mono under the wire because of the pressure the bare wire exerts on the reel spool the mono reduces it and if the mono is reeled on tight it shouldn't be a problem. If you are using braid for the backer make sure after you tie it on good to use some electrical tape a couple turns around on the spool to keep it from slipping as mentioned above. When you put the wire on make sure the line guide is centered on the reel when you begin as it helps keep things straight.

Seneca (rumor)greenridge power plant got approved
Sk8man replied to Roys Boys's topic in Finger Lakes Discussion
Man... for a long time now I've been concerned about the power grid (archaic as it is) going down. This looks like one more possibility of it happening. It is amazing that the state regulates about every facet of our private lives but fails to protect our vital resources and things that could really screw us over; all for the sake of big money influence. This issue is about a lot more than fishing stuff. -
Seneca (rumor)greenridge power plant got approved
Sk8man replied to Roys Boys's topic in Finger Lakes Discussion
One of things not mentioned is that there have been more than one huge discharges (e.g. 55,000 plus gals in one of them) of sewage down the Keuka Outlet in the recent past. If more happen and are added to the thermal increase during summer it could upset everything. When you talk about millions of gallons of water being heated even in a lake the size of Seneca it is going to have an impact over time possibly changing the very nature of the lake itself by adding to a changing of the PH level and photosynthesis rate and amount of time it occurs. The fact that extensive impact studies haven't been carried out is disturbing. -

Let's step back a little and have a closer look at the nature of what the company is intending to do: it is to risk messing up a body of water that serves as a water source for thousands of people for a freaking game of questionable value controlled in large part by the Chinese government. The job creation aspect may be a myth as the computerization is in large part automated https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin-mining/ -
Off topic - deep sea fishing out of Glouster MA
Sk8man replied to Bike and Boat's topic in Finger Lakes Discussion
I'm not sure about the time frame and species availability then but Dave Marciano mentioned this one to me and said that he had taken Vets out for special outing etc. on their boat so I spoke with the folks as they are located conveniently right downtown with good sized parking lot setup and easy access. I didn't have time to go then but grabbed a brochure. Might want to call them for details. -

Bentpole made some good points and he and I agree on the points which we discussed further in a PM. I am convinced he wasn't trolling to get folks going. He is just very concerned about the environment as I am. We do need to stay focused on the environment and stick together as there truly is power in numbers and we have a very important investment in trying to contain special interests and cleaning up the environment if we are to keep this wonderful fishery.
