6th Annual Trout Day


Jim W

Recommended Posts

Are there questions out there for the 29th?

Please bring appropriate weather wear, sack lunch and fishing gear if you have it. Both fly and spin fishing will take place in the AM.

Do I hear a 65 and sunny????

Great to hear!

This is going to be a tremendous event and I’m glad to be a part of it. I’ve been looking for ways to kick-start my trout fishing knowledge and this is going to do just that.

Steve, Jim, and others. Thank-You for putting this together. I’m looking forward to meeting both of you and learning from the some of the best in the area. You’ve really gone the extra mile with getting all the donations and publicity for this event.

2 weeks!

Hey guys is this a rain or shine event? I hate to go down there if it is raining and gets cancelled. I am crossing my fingers that WxGuy brings us some good weather, but it is not looking all that promising... frown.gif

By the way Awesome report WxGuy in the Roch. Forum. I bet that was a fun filled week!! Way to go and I am looking forward to to hearing some of your wealth of knowledge on trout at Trout Day.. smirk.gif

Has been and always will be rain or shine. At least we aren't getting snow like last year and a couple others.lol

We are "housed" in the pavillion so we can escape the forecasted "showers" if need be.

Not sure about you, but I have rain gear.lol

Hope to meet ya!

Don't they say the worst day of comfort is the best day for fishing?

Thanks Jim, we will have the gear for the day!! smile.gif Will be bringing some 5 yr. old prospects with me. I will also take others with me, I was thinking to bring some extra poles if there are others that want to try and did not bring their own. Is that okay?

Really looking forward to meeting you as well. Hope to learn more!! cool.gif

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
