LOTSA Membership Meeting Thursday July 11 featuring Captain John Oravec of Troutman

[Instigator]

On Thursday July 11th at 7pm, the Lake Ontario Trout & Salmon Association (LOTSA) will be sponsoring a Seminar by Captain John Oravec (Troutman) on Summer Tournament Winning Techniques and fishing for the “Big Ones”. Captain John has been chartering on Lake Ontario for 47 years. He is well known as one of the early pioneers fishing back in the days when not much was known of the lake’s vast fishery. Through the years he spent many hours learning the lake and developing tackle that is still used today to become a successful fisherman on the big lake. For 35 years he has written articles for the In Fisherman magazine. He has also been a contributor for Great Lakes Angler and has even been featured on the cover of the magazine passing on his years of knowledge to help anglers improve their fishing skills. Captain John will be discussing how to target and catch “The Big One “and how to learn the lake and what it takes to land trophy fish consistently. He wanted me to tell you to be sure to bring a notebook and take notes as he will be going over a lot of proven techniques he has learned for almost a half a century becoming one of the most successful “Big Fish” Captains on Lake Ontario.
