Hi Pat,

Your posting is just fine...just others not responding...don't let this surprise you...Lake P.O. fishermen are as tight lipped as it gets when it comes to disclosing any info that might help a newbie. You might be the same way...since it is said of serious Lake P.O fishermen....to become a accomplished fisherman of P.O. it is compared to a concert guitarist...10,000 hours to be really good at it...I am about 7,000 hours into it (during these 7,000 hours…the largest Kam I have landed is 12 lbs….and have had only three sensational runs).


Keep a tight line.

Sincerely,

Ron Harrelson

Pat,


I have this DVD and it is pretty good. It will teach you everything you need to know to get started catching macs.

"Reliable Methods of Catching Lake Trout on Lake Pend Oreille" is hosted by Ron Sharp, a commercial rod-and-reel fisherman on Lake Pend Oreille. This video contains a brief introduction by Horner on the importance of managing the lake trout population, a lake trout, bull trout identification segment, information on general lake trout habits, as well as sections covering all the different types of fishing techniques that can be used to catch lake trout. Sharp clearly uses diagrams, pictures and fishing footage to show anglers how to use dodgers and flies, flatfish, jigging techniques, Lyman plugs, and flutter spoons.

Videos and DVD's are available to check out from the Regional Fish and Game Office in Coeur d'Alene; at both the Clark Fork Hatchery, Sandpoint Hatchery and Cabinet Gorge Hatchery; Bayview Research Office; public libraries in Coeur d'Alene, Hayden, Sandpoint and Priest River; and the Avista office in Noxon, Montana.



For more information on the videos, contact Ned Horner at (208) 769-1414.
