Hi. My fihing friends and I have been using car batteries for 15 to 25 pound trolling motors. They’ll last most of the day if you don’t fight against the wind all day. Will a "deep cycle trolling" battery hold a charge a lot longer during use? How much longer? Is it worth the extra money? I’ve been researching deep cycle batteries and there seems to be a wide variety of opinions on the types and what brands are true deep cycle batteries. I.E. Gold Carts use them too. Can anyone recommned a particular brand or company in general "In their humble opinion"? Thanks. Please email too if possible. Fred the Fisherman.
Car batteries, die after a few deep discharges and recharges. You can get a Deep Cycle at Costco or Wal-mart for less than $50. Will survive longer than the car batter and give you more trolling. Bill

Hi Fred, You can buy deep cycle batteries from Sam’s Club, Costco or Wal-Mart for ~$50US. I have bought some Trojan deep cycle batteries for ~$75. I heard that Interstate and Sears Diehards are good. I just bought a Rolls deep cycle for ~$125 Be sure to charge them with an automatic 10 amp charger as soon after you are done fishing as possible. Also try to charge them once a month if they are sitting for long periods of time. It can take 12 hours to fully charge a battery. Bill Kiene Kiene’s Fly Shop Sacramento, CA, USA www.kiene.cim

I have a friend who once fished with you, he said you were a good fisherman. That friend is the best fisherman I know, matter of fact one of the people you speak of knowing mentioned his skills in one of his books, but to talk to him about fishing, not once will he tell how good he is. Good fishermen don’t have to brag about how good they are and in the overall scheme of things, it is just not that important George. Wayne

We have 3 balloons off the back of the boat with live bait fishing for Kings.
Can anybody tell me what this means? I’m not being able to picture the balloon part. Nets? Actual balloons? Just curious–thanks. Mart

Sure. He’s using partially inflated balloons as "corks" to float his live baits within a certain range of the top of the water. The balloons are easy to see and when a smoker takes the bait and runs, the balloon goes under. This is a common tactic for bass fishermen, too. They’ll attach a nice live shiner to a hook, tie a balloon a couple of feet above it and let the bass gobble the shiner and take the balloon under. Balloons also present one with a way to take advantage of wind or current. There’s also kite fishing. — Harry Krause – - – - – - – - – - – - Ignorance or Apathy? I don’t know and I don’t care.

By the way, there is a downside to using balloons. Many of them are discarded in the water and unfortunately some sea creatures that eat jellyfish (like turtles) snarf them down and can’t digest them. They die. This used to happen with condoms, I suppose, but no turtle with a brain would go near any of those disease-laden wrappers.

Mart, Believe it or not, they even sell different sized kites to use depending on the wind conditions! I don’t bother with kites, but I’ve been fishing with a guy who does and it works quite well. What Harry didn’t mention is you use the kite while drifting. BTW, shore fishermen also use kites to get their bait out farther than they can cast… Depending on the direction the wind is blowing, of course. :) Dennis

<SNIP But who cares what of it is true and what isn’t, or who was "in on it" or who wasn’t?
Quite a few people care what is true, and what is not. Nobody on this group was "in" on anything. There was no collusion of any kind. I had no contact whatsoever with anybody else on this group regarding my actions. People who know me figured out pretty quickly that I was behaving at least oddly, and formed their own opinions. For somebody who does not care at all what other people think, you sure are curious. As Mr. LaCourse more than fairly observed. He also thought I was behaving like a loony, but he was prepared to forgive and forget based on past experience. I am also most grateful to him for his fairness in this regard. My arrival "out of the blue" as you put it, was the result of a person attributing opinions to me, which I have never averred, and do not hold. To whit, that "Gink is worse than spent nuclear fuel". This was e-mailed to me, and as a consequence, I responded to the post on ROFF. The result was a personal attack, with no regard whatever for the truth of the matter. I responded in kind. Thus began the whole episode. MC
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – <SNIP I’m not sure how the people that Mike has been "arguing" with are supposed to know this. If this IS true, he is doing it at other’s expense and it has really gotten old. If it’s just a typical ROFF argument, like I think it is, so be it. People will look at the two sides as they will. There are always two sides to these things. Willi Willi, I fear you err in this respect. I was not arguing, there would be no point in arguing against a personal attack. You basically have two choices in such a case, either you ignore it, and hope everybody else does, or you defend yourself as best you can. It is not necessary to "know" why you are being attacked, it is sufficient that this is indeed the case. I limited my "attacks" to those who attacked me. All attacks of this nature are done at somebody else
Hello Fly fishing men and women ! I’m going to NS next summer, in the Cape Breton area, for camping and fishing. Please tell me of good rivers for fly fishing. Robert
As a frequent visitor to Cape Breton I can recommend the famous Margaree for salmon, but the Cheticamp and Middle Rivers are good too. The Middle is primarily a Fall run salmon river though in the summer you can find brookies and Cape Breton’s unique strain of sea-run (Steelhead) rainbows that run the Middle River. Though rainbows usually run in the spring. Almost any inland pond will have good brookie fishing and most of the coastal streams get a run of sea-run brookies in summer. Summer, be prepared for blackflies! They can be brutal at times. If you can put off your trip to the fall you’ll find less bugs and better fishing. Most of the salmon rivers on the island fish better in the fall, though the Cheticamp is known as a good summer river, early July best, of course depending on water levels and temps. For camping, you can’t go wrong with a campsite at the Cape Breton Highlands National Park in Cheticamp. They have campsites right near some of the better salmon pools on the Cheticamp River. For real fine lodging and good meals I heartily recommend the Normaway Inn located in Margaree. Remember to take a ride around the Cabot Trail, Cape Breton Island has some of the most breathtaking scenery to be found in Eastern North America. Have a good trip, I love it there. Don D.

Margaree Forks is the preferred location. 2nd: Just inside the Cape Breton Highlands National Park just above Cheticamp is the river by the same name…and likely much less fished and with likely more fish…. Although fish enter in late June, best is late September… so go as late as possible. Rains. Is cool.

Just wondering if any one has canoed the yukon river from Whitehorse to Dawson. My spousal unit and muself hope to take a holiday there next summer. Any inof or insight will be appreciated Thanks Ward & Cyndi
Ward and Cyndi: A pleasant popular journey that is a bit more varied than the itinerary you outline is to take the Big Salmon river from its headwaters at Quiet Lake (caught large lake trout in shallows here) to the Yukon, then down stream to Carmacks. This is a nice 8 day trip with sightseeing and fishing along the way and lets you explore both a tributary with some class II water, small mining claims and mountain scenery, wildlife and fishing, and the busy bustling Yukon. An excellent family or relative beginner trip with emphasis on history, flora and fauna. Car shuttles can be arranged to start in your vehicle by asking at most gas stations in Whitehorse or through commercial outfitters. Bus goes through Carmacks 1-2 times a day and will take you back to your car in Whitehorse, or get that gas station kid to help again. Try fly fishing for greyling along grassy banks. The main Yukon route is a *very* popular trip with scout dn church groups, outfitters and other large parties so it can get a bit crowded.

Hi Rich thanks for the info The thoughts of floating down the river sound great as we sit here in the grey skies of Vancouver. We will look at the Big Salmon river trip,, as for ferrying the vehicle it should be no problem as we have a relative in whitehorse. How long did you take to drive up from Oregon? And last but not least what time of the summer do you reccommend? Thanks Ward & Cyndi
Dawson City is a great little town (apart from the RV’s). Check out the super rustic youth hostel across the river from town (you have to use the ferry). Never done the river, though, but I’ve driven alongside it several times! Happy trails…

Several years ago my wife and I did part of the trip. Hundreds of people go each year. We paddled from Johnson’s Crossing, on the Teslin River to the confluence with the Yukon downstream of Whitehorse, and then on to Carmacks, about 1/2 way to Dawson. The Teslin route avoids 30 miles of lake paddling, and is a bit more remote. The trip was great. There are no real hazards and lots of wildlife, scenery, and historic sites. Guidebooks and rentals are available. Shuttle via bus. Have fun, Bill Siler
I have done this trip and would advise that conditions can vary from year to year. I did it in 1990 (I think) after there had been some high water. There were a lot of sweepers in the upper part of the river (soon after leaving the lake) that required difficult lining. Also, in low water, the river requires quite a bit of maneuvering around boulder fields, etc. I saw only one other party (in 10 days), so it is important to be prepared to meet any possible conditions. It is a beautiful trip. Big Salmon is clear water (unlike the Yukon) But it can require a bit more skill in some conditions than the Yukon, which is reliably flat and wide. adk mitchell

Provocative posts which encourage fresh thinking about fly fishing are one thing; the boring, puerile, misogynist whinings that are so fashionable nowadays are quite another. Woods Hole, MA USA
[gone with swell foops of the del key] : and Tim. Provocative posts which encourage fresh thinking about fly : fishing are one thing; the boring, puerile, misogynist whinings that are so : fashionable nowadays are quite another. And, virtually indistingushable sometimes…. Tim Walker
I am a begining fly fisherman and I am going to be working in canon city, co for the summer. I will be there from May 15- August 15. I would appreciate any suggestions on good places to fish, shops for flys, and approximate times of good hatches. In other words any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance. Paul
You’ll be living right by the headwaters of the Arkansas River, which has some decent trout (so I’ve heard, haven’t gotten down there yet). Also, you won’t be too far from the South Platte, which is pretty famous for awesome catch & release only, artificial flies & lures (barbless hooks) only fishing. The South Platte will be about 1.5 to 2 hours drive from Canon City, either north into Colorado Springs and then West on route 24 to Woodland Park, and north on route 67 to Deckers, or continue through Woodland Park to Lake George, and go up Elevenmile Canyon road (3 dollar access fee you pay at a self-serve station), to the river. I’m still new at the insect hatches, so can’t give you anything of value in that area. Pick up a copy of the Colorado Angling Guide when you get here, or before if you can find it. It’s got a nice collection of Forest Service maps of the areas. As for shops, I know the Angler’s Covey on 8th and West Colorado Ave in Colorado Springs is a great place for fly fishing supplies and advice, although you should be able to find something in Canon City as well, use the yellow pages. — Scott Ferguson My views are not necessarily Cray Computer Corporation those of Cray Computer Corp.
