For Great Lakes kings I'll generally use 10-lbs main line, 8.4-lb shot line and 6.8-lb leader. For smaller tribs I'll run hooks from 8 to 12, for bigger rivers I might go to a 4 or 6 (depending on the situation). For ocean-run fish, I run gear that is at least 50-100% heavier.
Hey man, awesome vid. How big was that brown? Do yup figure it was lake run or resident? I've heard of browns wintering over in creeks and tribes from the fall but never seen one caught in the spring
A Jiggy Hex is a beadhead Hexagenia nymph tied on a jig hook so that it suspends horizontally under the float (instead of hanging vertically and looking completely unnatural).
Dude that was Awesome...Is that a GoPro you have? I just got one this spring..havent trieds it nearly as much as I would have liked...but hey..6-8 more weeks...Nice little hole you fished....Is that ON or stateside?

Would you use the 13'6" IM6 for Ontario Kings just wondering if it was powerful enough?
gusuk68 5 months ago
@gusuk68
The 13'6" IM6 is okay for Kings, but you can handle them better with the 11'6" IM6 or the 13'6" IM9. Just remember to take you time fishing them.

The fishing should be great, all the rivers have salmon in them now and more and more trout are starting to show-up!

It's the GoPro with the Chesty attachment. Excellent camera, but the audio recording is terrible.

Can't wait for more man. SST-2 and the 13'6" IM6 is a sweet combo for those rivers!
