I had a response to a thread I did a while back when I made my clousers . Buddy said I should tie some on a siwash hooks for behind dodgers for salmon trolling. So i did and wait to hear back how they work. The green and black one has a trailer hook. It stuck me like 6 X tying the front hook.😂 Hooks I used are super sharp and strong The trailer one. I call it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I BITE BACK

Sock style on a baitholder hook.

Sunrise, Wheatley Provincial Park, 2019.

So after 30 years of owning a tin boat , I finally bought a new fishing boat. It may be small but it is just me and my dog. It is a 2020 Alumicraft escape with a 50 hp Yamaha. Now t he fun begins, I have not bought any new boat gear in many years so What are my needs. I was looking at a terrova 55lb 12 volt running of a AGM 31 series battery . Not sure about fish finder to be honest i never really used the old one except for depth but i would like GPS maps but nothing to fancy Then of course all the little odds and ends that you all have added to make fishing life better. So here is you chance build my boat to a fishing machine. Boat is coming soon so i have to get shopping Where do you guys by your stuff. Thanks Everyone

Yup, I've used it a few time. Brian, yeah. The Williams basically becomes the dodger in this case. Remove the hook , run a lead and tie on that fly.

20mins might be a stretch

Great looking boat! I run s 16’ aluminum and a 12v 55. I find wind can kill it so I use it in conjunction with the wind and control the drift mainly, then it lasts much longer. Im putting a spare battery in this year so I can go all day.

Lmao and this is why I don’t fish simcoe. The 30 dollar sky dome air canada centre parking in innisfil was enough of a joke to make me never want to go back.

I think we are going to turn on comments and see how it goes. People are posting things that seem to request replies. Hopefully it will go well if it does then we will keep it going if not we will turn them off again. Art

I'd tie them with a second hook facing up as a stinger , dodger fly was the hot setup 40+ years ago when Lake Ontario was Coho fishery. Blue zone ( but that name evolved later ) 20 feet down, Red Luhr Jensen dodger blue Jonsfly , six feet behind the ball , Cohoes all summer until they stacked up at the mouths.

Well I went right to the #16 this morning . I have to say,it was fun . I have a mag lite,so it is very easy to tie once you have the basics down . Also they are time consuming,but it,s not like I am whipping up a wolley bugger.LOL Using thinner thread diameter is another learning curve for me. Cannot be hauling on that thread . Also making wings that small is gratifying to me. Now to go and give them a go . Might be a couple of days as we have rain now . I looked for a pencil with a eraser on it Gil, so it would show the true size. Not a one in the house. LOL

Thanks for that...if we get out I will let you know! Right now I would call it 50/50

Now we've lost Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben. The world is screwed!
