I just got some blanks that he had never finished..The one on the far right was his light blank not hammered you don't see many of those any more and the one on the far left is a 66...I put split rings and hooks on half of the ones I got and the rest I might never fish with.. Great piece of Lake Ontario salmon fishing history.. His spoons are what most copied.. I still have some he hand made on his boat for me and those are retired and in hiding..

I can tell you we took the pens out, they were not easy to move but with 2 boats and taking your time it's not hard. Just slow. And if 50 % of them did not come back in the stream we saved a bunch...there were over 100 birds roasted in the trees just west of the ramp. And if we had let them go. In the stream and they did not scram fast as soon as it got light out in the am all we would have done is feed them. Also the night we did it the lake and stream were almost the same temp do to the cold weather ...and the lake had nice color from the winds the 2 days before...maybe some returned to the stream, but I bet alot of them spread out down the warm dirty water and saved them selves from the birds.. I am by no means an expert on fish but I have been fishing since I was born and spent tons of hours on the water, and have fished for just about every freash water fish in NY. Maybe what we did was a waste of time but there was only 2 boats and 6 people and we gave it our best effort, and did what we felt would increase the chances of as many fish as possible surviving.. also not many people would have used there boats to do this it's not easy on them the pens scratched our boats some but again my boat is made to be used and worth it if we saved a few fish so we all can enjoy them, wether it be lake fisherman or stream fisherman.

Yes it's worth it to take them to the lake..I know it's not easy because I just di the steelhead pens but we did it at night and then by morning the lake had some chop so the fish got spread out..if you let then go in the stream they hang out and are a huge target. It took 2 boats per pen and about 4 hours to do it but I am sure we saved 1000's of fish Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I would start in the dark right in the river mouth ...last few weeks I have fished oak and every time there was color or cool water I killed them early and late. Right in almost casting distance of the wall..even had browns steelhead and a Pike Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Hit the mouth and close early if there is any color then. Once it get full light out off shore.. that's what I would do.. if you want to catch matures start in the dark.. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Just googled it to find the name of the jplug copy. It's a tiger plug, they ran great and got lots of bites but got tooth holes easy Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Lake Ontario United mobile app

No clue if is collectable ...when I was selling tackle we used to sell them to stores in what they called dump bins. It was a huge box that of lures and they were mixed every box had a different mix. The store had no pick of color or size or style. They just bought it cheap and put the box on the floor and people picked though it.. I sold a ton of them that way. I have bunch still but none in packages still and they catch fish for sure. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Lake Ontario United mobile app
