fish were moving through the tressle pool all day
the other two places i stoped had fish but i only hit them for a short time and couldn't say if there was much movemnet...just fish
i also hit a smaller trib to the north and was not dissapointed :)
grape koolaid thing is just an easy way to make th eggs purple
i also do lime for green and cherry to make red and pink

i don't know if the way i did it is the right way but it worked for me
i washed the skein in the river, then let it dry for about 15 minutes
when i got home i cut it into quarter size pieces and salted them down with kosher salt
5 minutes later i sprinkle it with kool aid for color and put in zip lock bags
seemed to work fine

pro-cure is ok at best,,, with the Wizard being the best of the choices... salt, sugar and borax are just as good... I would not keep more than a day without curing, others will tell you different... But they don't carch as many fish as I do...
