So since this year class is supposed to be small in number the fish should be huge ...right

Bb, I'm not sure about the numbers but from the lake reports and pics I have been seeing ( watching and studying ) the fish themselves have been smaller. Many in the 20-23 # range, very , very few over the 25-30 # class. But hey it's still early and the biggies might just be smarter then the little guys..

We might have been spoiled with larger fish the past couple of years-personally will be very satisfied with fish in the low 20s, heck, even the high teens are great IMHO.
What a GREAT place when fish only in the 20s are noteworthy-- lol.

20 lbers are fine with me.I remember a few years when I was hoping for those 20# fish because the 30# fish were wearing us out. Now that I'm older and feeble the 20# fish will be just about right.

Made a trek to Rochester over the weekend, a nice way to celebrate my 61st.  Drove up Saturday, fished yesterday with my daughter and her boyfriend.  Fished with Capt Sam Zucco on the Dream Catcher out of Shumway Marine.  Hoped to get into some kings/cohos but no such luck.  Had a real good bite with lakers and a brown with the biggest laker weighing in at a shade under 17 pounds until the rain set in about 10:30 AM.  We boated more than a dozen lakers between 12 & 16+ pounds.
General complaint by the capt was that the salmon numbers appear to be down in that area of the lake.

Made dinner reservations for tailwater lodge for that last weekend in September....The few pictures I've seen show a nice interior and my guess is the food is good as folks are saying it's busy on Saturday night.

Might be trying it next week with  family. The one thing the area really needs is a place for a nice dinner. The one downtown never seems to be open when we are looking to eat out.

Hey if you got it then burn it up. The one thing I can say though is you will never get respect from the working man by flaunting it .

Don't choke on a chicken bone

Great way to spend a Birthday  !!
Thanks for the tips.. I can only hope to be so lucky ..

Yea when I was up early last week there wasn't a car in the lot.
Guess the 10 years of tax breaks is the real reason for the place....

Great way to spend a birthday, Gerry.
