What was your surface temp over there yesterday bill?

Beef you have me the link to a flasher that I can't find now, hook me up again will ya?

We have had 47.8-49.5 for the last two weeks.

Fall in and you'll be looking for your willy for a week.

On a side note, our coho are gone. We sucked rudder this morning.

Did you catch a sockeye yesterday?

Cracked a #22 this morning.

Big king for the year so far.

A pig for sure we didn't catch anything over 20 pounds last year

That's not the one beef, it was green I think

Wow I am truly dumb. Didn't even dawn on me you were talking about a lure...42nd...sorry bout that

Sea sick waddler has been go to as well for the last few years.

That's the site, thanks beef, what color flashers are your go to

I retract the sea sick waddler pattern. Just had a long inside conversation with a fishing buddy. It's not worth a mention. To be honest my buddy ties all his own flies and names them shit like HIVtastic (awesome steely lure) Fuck Canada (nasty black glow laker lure) Poop pants (goby pattern for early browns). Just parouse the atomik website. I like all those ones.

Its so funny, you asked in other threads and in my head I was like WTF is saying this for? I seriously thought you wanted me to give you a rundown of pictures of broads and dirtbags flashing people. In my head I was like 'im not going to spend too much time on this'.

John, when you're ready to get serious, I've got some king flies for you.

They might even sell them on your shore.

I got skunked last weekend, ready to get serious? Patton wasn't as serious about killing Germans as I am about catching kings right now

That's pretty fucking serious, right there. Bill, you better hook him up.

The shitty thing for him is that had he not slapped that soldier in North Africa, he probably would have been in charge of things. I guess political correctness really did exist to a certain degree before now.

A true American badass.

Thanks Dan

Yeah, that Patton guy was OK too.

I'll head to Port early and see what I can find.

My buddy just did all these up for our summer LOC derby.


He's a real crafty dude. Ties all my steelhead gear for the rivers too. Member when I told you I put all my lund baron gear on my buddies boat...this is the dude. Known him since I 6. Look into our LOC derbies. You other great lakers should do this huge boost to fisheries. Awesome tourny and exciting set up cuz of the big purses!

And another thing we do in summer on at least one rod is use the magnum big weenie flasher with the magnum ito flies. Sometimes those huge presentations are key.

Are any of you guys running anything out of the norm with success?

Looking good beef!

Can't identify all the material through the tubes but it looks like quite the smattering.

Funny story, he's been in the hospital to get one of the tubes removed from his you know what.

We don't run anything out of the norm.

90% of our kings are caught on the same three flasher/fly combos.

When they don't want that stuff, we leave it on anyway. When fishing gets tough, you want your proven baits out there.

Sounds like he's been at sea too long.

Yup. 42nd, something frog, and something white glow on white, throw in a purple pattern or blue dolphin now and again. Go half and half with spoons. Usually a yellow nbk or whatever wows me when I open the case. I'm always after the ultimate lure so I like to change up, but when it's tourny time theres not much messing around.
