Just a fyi, regs are weights need to be 4 feet from the hook. Lining is the technique you are talking about, Salmon don't eat anymore once they hit the river.

You are so wrong... They will bite out of aggression and will eat upon entering the river.

I have watched numerous kings and coho's drop back to take my fly, please don't spread misinformation.

Once the salmon have been in the river for more than 2 days yes they will not bite or eat they will spawn and die.

I said they won't eat, which has been scientificaly proven as their stomachs beging to shrink. Aggresion? I guess so, we can debate that forever. Where did u get the 2 day rule from? Not sure what misinformation I was spewing, the fact is weights must be 4 feet from the hook, trebles are a no-no and targeting Salmon on beds is just not right and may be in violation.

anybody on here tried fishing lake Oontario this time of year? Ive read and been told theres lots of them staging up in the lake by the tributary entrances before they go up the streams. I have a 17' deep V and have downriggers and the right equipment but not sure it can handle it. I fished Lake O 10 years ago outta toronto on a family visit and we were on a 27' ocean boat and there was 3-4 foot chop out there nothing for that size baot. I know I can handle 2-3' max and been reading lots of fish caught in under 100' of water but alot of guys fish the "big blue" 200+ FOW. One of my buddies' brother goes every year in the fall w a 17' similar to mine and they seem to catch fish just wondering if anyone has experience up there........thankx
