You should see the perch run during the spring in the lake. We take the boat out there, anywhere in northern part of the lake near the Peace Bridge (bridge to Canada), rig our lines with a couple hooks and minnows and drop it down. Before it hits the bottom you already have 2 perch on there, not small ones, like 14+ inches. Me and a couple buddies of mine limit out in just over an hour. The only problem is going home and filleting 150-200 perch hahasteelie34 wrote:

trout (especially from a hatchery) have always been suckers for firetiger rooster tails. let all the chumps float their powerbait while you reel in the winner. use a stiff rod for a solid hookset with 6 lb test. you WILL catch fish.androoz wrote:
might go to a derby this saturday at a local park lake. 1st place for the heaviest trout legally caught is $1,500 or something along with 2nd place, etc, prizes.
last year 1st place was only a 5 pounder which wouldn't be that hard. but even with like several hundreds of people throwing out powerbait and shit on 20lb test line it'll come out to luck either way.
yeah im probably gonna just set my dad up with my old pole and a decent lure.steelie34 wrote:

Umm... Depends on your nerves actually Could take an hour/week/month. For me it was around a few weeks I suppose. My 15yo mind had ragequitting saved there back in -95 so the gear was leaning against the sauna a lot
If you have someone teaching you, it'll be faster. I had to learn almost everything by myself so it took a while to get the basics. Still no pro. The technique is different with different flies. Good to learn with the ones that will keep on the surface so you'll get the right moves memorized.
Watch some vids online. Get a basic gear and go to a stream with a whiskey bottle and ask some old farts to show you the ropes. Especially get info on how to tie knots with these things. Otherwise you'll end up losing plenty of flies and line.androoz wrote:

there is a shit ton of books and info online on it anyway though.
I used to match fish in the UK but i was a pole angler myself.androoz wrote:
Just wondering if anyone here enjoys freshwater or saltwater fishing. Always been a freshwater guy myself. Throw out a 6 foot G. Loomis with a 2-3 pound test ultra light. Just jig it with a lip ripper or whatever plastics you got. Favorite place is going out to Mammoth but it's several hours away and we don't go too often, love float tubing Alpers there though. I could fish for hours on end, just love it, dunno why.
You guys?
