my myths to add.

I'm a nice guy.

I'm a very poor guide and never put people on fish. (Sin, y_o, ccmt and others can attest )

The "magic" pattern isn't good for pickereye's and bass (musky too).

How does anyone really know what colors fish see best, and how they see them?

I like the red hooks, but not because I think fish can't see them. They don't rust!! Great concept for a guy like me who doesn't take the best care of my gear!

I concur. They sure help homeade spinners last longer, otherwise they get used, put back in the bag and rusting to garbage.

 

Here is a myth that came from my dad, even though its come true on several occassions, its clearly not a fact, as I've caught ling mid-day before.

"The walleye fishing is over when the ling start biting." Often heard near dark while ice fishing.

Fish bite best when the cows are standing.......when we were kids I was convinced my friend Dave could only catch fish when the cows were kneeling...

 

Fish bite best when the winds are from the west

 

Fish bite least when the winds are from the east

Heard that marshmallows work well for trout...
