    The hot fly

    When cutting them make them as thin of a strip as possible. If going for a tail no more than the hook shank and about a half. You don't want them just grabbing it and let go. If wrapping it on a hook. Start wrapping it and every wrap leave a little space. As for color just a waterproof...

    New World Record Shellcracker

    If they got that big around here I would fish for them. Would make great bait for a toothy.

    Anyone fish the Allegheny reservoir?

    Could rent a boat if you wanted. As for the minnow net. I would take it and get some nice size creek chubs then go out. If you want that pike. Big lures or any big panfish will work. They’ll sit in the coves not very deep water.

    Not so much now they’re still there but Lake Erie pretty much took that over.

    Anyone fish the Allegheny reservoir?

    They keep up with a lot of stockings below the dam. Plus those fish really never leave they just stick around below. Good air flow plus it stays colder all year round. All the baitfish coming out. It’s amazing how the trout stay there in schools. Guess since they can’t swim up anymore and blocks...

    Anyone fish the Allegheny reservoir?

    I don’t really fish the lake since it’s a pretty big lake and gotta cover a lot of water. Be careful in the yak or canoe it can be choppy out there. Definitely watch for the crazies with the bigger boats. I would do a lot of trolling or drifting so you can come across something hungry. Might...

    I find that there is fisher people who are for sport and some are for dinner. I’m just for sport I don’t really eat fish so I’m always out for the best fight I can get. I agree the smaller the better taste but unfortunately those musky have to be 40in or bigger just to keep not unless I read it...

    They say walleyes have big eyes for a reason and that’s to hunt at nite with no lights. You’ll scare walleyes away from what I hear. That’s why in summer the deeper they go. Plus the water gets to hot for them. Don most people who use lights are saltwater not really fresh waters.

    I’m trying to improve my minnow

    That’s why wide gap hooks work great for this but the only problem is they take more weight to flip. I’ve noticed that even tying to much material around the hook point can also stop a good hookup.

    I’m trying to improve my minnow

    More weight on the hook shaft. That’s how I know they will ride up. I’ve found the extra round bend and big hook points are a pain to ride up.

    It’s a very strong current at times. But I’m not fishing in the current. I fish where it begins the slack waters on the edge. Sometimes it creates something like a little whirlpool. They lay right in those rocks waiting for the baitfish to wash in.
