Saugeen Trip

[Garfield the cat]

Type/Color?

Don't worry about type or color. You plan on catching fish With that many people there?? Lol. Get the Blackbird hooks. I think they're phantom blackbird. They are short and thick enough when u use small bags

Haha try to be. I mostly use mustard lazer with the funky bend in them. Sometimes they straighten but that's when I'm snagged. Bend back in place an keep fishing. Not time wasted. Lol But I have good string ones as well. Don warrie mon, you will learn a lot on the trip

Personally I wouldn't use these at the geen. If you get a hot fish shoot down one of the fast flows the hook will straighten. I've had it happen before.

I bump it up to size 6 and 8 octopus strong there and haven't had any issues . My leader will break or the fish will spit the hook before the hook straightens.

+1
All I use..mostly 8 with a pinched barb.

So is this officially on the 13th?
If you are sleeping in your car - just wear your waders, coat and a winter hat... no problem.
I have slept in my car around the river many times and never been woken up... Although I wish I would have been woken up a few times so I didn't sleep until 10 lol

Can't say I ever slept in my waders, but I am curious now, was it just really uncomfortable after a while?

I've done it. They keep your body heat in on a cold night. But I can sleep anywhere after a beer or 2 knowing I will be fishing good water in the morning
