==================

(Hi everyone, I'm Mark and I've been fishing the Lake Ontario tributarys for 28 years and my best fish were a 13 lb steelhead out of South Sandy Creek, 12 lb brown out of Oak Orchard Creek and a 40 lb King out of the Salmon River. Both trout were on noodle rods with 6 lb test, I like to give the fish an even chance of winning the battle and let me tell you there were moments when I thought they were going to win. Well, I finally picked up a boat that I can put on the lake and I'm just dying to see how they fight in their own. I've heard and read that, especially the Kings, they are quite different in the Lake and I read on one of the posts about a guy who had a 30 pounder peel 600 ft of line off his reel. If you can't tell already, I've very passionate about the trout and Salmon and think you have the finest fishery I have ever seen. All the fish up there are just big and healthy, amazing. Anyway, I stumbled across the website, just trying to do my homework before taking the first trip up to the lake. I think your website is great, so much information and so many kind people willing to share their experiences. Hats off to you all.
