[QUOTE="eliminator, post: 226936, member: 3874"] Just an updated salmon report: Great Plains Trout and Salmon club had their annual derby yesterday on Lake Sakakawea. I fished the derby and did very poorly---had reasonable success on friday but zero for us on saturday. There were 49 teams in the derby, 20 of the teams had zero fish. There were a total of 56 fish caught with biggest under 8 lbs. The total winning weight was I believe 20.75 lbs for 4 fish. I heard that this was the lowest winning weight they have had. Don't know if that is true or not but not much caught all day long. There have been better days out there but it has been real inconsistent so far for me. For supposedly having record numbers of smelt in the system something doesn't add up with small fish. They seem to be getting smaller each year overall. I am still hoping that the best fishing is yet to come but really don't want much to do with them when they get close to dying. Right now they are in good shape, nice and silver and nice color to the meat. Most fish are coming deep and on a lot of different colors and herring so I don't see any consistent pattern at all. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] As far as length of leaders used: if you talk to 10 salmon fishermen and women you will probably get 10 different answers to that and length behind the ball. All you can do is try different lengths and see if you can get something that works on that particular day. Every day can be different. Speed can also vary from day to day. [/QUOTE]
