Yeah , I hear you about the clowns, but ethical fishing and snagging are two totally different animals. I rarely see kings consistently caught in the mouth in any of your streams other than the Lower Niagara due to the fact the state does absolutely nothing to the idiots digging trebs into the sides of these fish and molesting them in every way possible. Show me someone who can consistanly put 15/20+ fair hooked fish (KINGS) on the bank in a day and I'll no doubt show you one hell of a fisherman. I've had the pleasure of loosely knowing a few dudes up there that can flat out make everyone on a given stream or out of a given harbor look stupid on any given day.... Those guys are few and far between. Not debating that there are guys who can lay the smack down when it comes to Salmon, but for the most part, they are a handful at best. As far as Guides go, we fished the Fall LOC this year right along side of some of the more noted guides on the lake, and when i say that many pulled goose eggs, I am making an understatement. In a nutshell, I still believe that it takes more skill to produce a KING than it does to produce a handfull of trout. Just my opinion.
