Wait I just saw this.

Well call me a twat (lol) but I was parked there because that is supposed to be where we are to park.. Not on the side of the road like the signs say and lazy twats did, do....
It's not closed, it's just not completed .. Why ?
Lazy we were not, we walked a few miles each day :)

 
 
What's this about someone calling people twats?
I just reread the whole thread and I can't find it anywhere.
 
 
 
 
PS I will change it back tomorrow for continuity sake.
 

Venturesome Travelers? Somebody got a PM from the Mods! LOL!

Well that wraps up another "Salmon" season for me,I wait all year and it passes in a flash.Now I'm resting a day until I start the chores around the homestead tomorrow.
Overall I had my usual good time fighting fish,enjoying the great weather (a little too warm),and sharing the water with Rich for a couple days,topped off with enjoying breakfast with Rich and his wife Wed AM.
I had lots of success with black,olive wooly buggers and the Spruce Fly.Also,caught a few on egg color,dark peacock,and orange estez.And would you believe I caught a couple Kings on a BH Pheasant tail.In the two trips I played with several Steel and landed a couple,all on a green flashback peacock size 10 nympth.
As usuall the biggest negative of the Lake Ontario tribs is the large number of complete Aholes that come to "fish".Where is your neighbor and friends Clint? The only place I saw the DEC was in their vehicles,they could have wrote citations until they ran out of ink on the LFZ.As Fitchy said it is a shame such a great fishery is ruined by what the DEC allows to continue there.
One fish in particular that I would like to mention.Wed PM I had a fish take a Orange estez fly,after a LONG HARD fight I got a good look at it and it was a Coho and I know it was 20 lbs +.A guy was about to net it and it made one of those last little runs.....and the hook came loose.That was probably the biggest Coho that I can remember playing with in a long time if ever.
I might make a late Oct trip to the SR,but that will be a trout trip and if any Salmon get on my line it will be incidental.

I have some time now because the chores are being delayed because of damp conditions.
Besides the Ahole carrying his foul hooked trophy several hundred yards to his camera here is a couple others.
I was fishing up at the head of the rock wall on the LFZ and observed a couple idiots fighting yet another foul hooked fish at the tailout of the cemetery hole.Because the fish was foul hooked the "angler" that was at the other end of the line was not having much success getting it to his net man.Well apparently they got impatient to land their trophy so the net man decided to chase it.Into the hole he goes chasing it across the river with the net in the water,he now was up to his chest and probably getting a bit damp.This continued back and forth until the "trophy" got off.I was laughing my azz off and if they heard me they did n't show it.
Then there was the four sweepers.These "anglers" were all using the cast, drift,then sweep their line when it reached the sweet spot of the drift.They were foul hooking constantly.What was too funny is that they fought every fish to the net and then heaved it up on shore,got out the camera,and took a picture of EVERY foul hooked "trophy" to brag about.MORONS are abundant during Salmon season!
There's many more,but you get the drift.

Memories of good times had is what the SR is all about.. The Fishing comes and goes, jackasses are a given sometimes..
Anyone up for a Clave ?
My open dates are fri-sat fishing days in 2 weeks until end of oct.
Then Nov will be thurs-fri till the big bang ..
I Know a good place to relax, have a campfire, pitch a tent ,share some stories, or rest our rest our weary bones in a room then jump start into fishing mode..
 

Speak more of this clave thing you write about kemosabe.
How would this work?
Where would it be?
What would the timeframe be?
Personal invitation only?
Enquiring minds want to know.
So do I.

I'm not trying to make excuses for anyone but I wonder how many so called fishermen can actually tell the difference between a fair and foul hooked fish.  I'm not talking about visibly seeing where the hook is, I'm talking about knowing when you have a fish "take" your presentation.  Just saying........

Clint,what is your neighbors take on all this?What goes on in the LFZ is not accidental foul hook ups,it's intentional.When you use 3-4 cannon balls 4' or more from your hook and YANK on every drift you're snagging intentionaly.As far as knowing a take from a snag with the Salmon 99% of the time the fish will rocket through the water and jump,jump,and jump again.Very few Salmon that are hooked in the mouth will jump.Also if you feel some head shaking you got it in the mouth.If you got it in the tail it will wag its tail
There's other tell tale signs but in time you know what's real and what is not,
