Lost/Stolen rod

Hi all, not sure if this is the right place to put this, but my favorite rod has gone missing. I last had it at the boat launch at Perkins Pier. It's a 9ft 9wt Orvis H2. I have a $100 reward to anyone that gets it back to me!

Re: frostbite shore fishing for lakers updated 10/31/2017

Definitely windy, wasn't able to cast past 60+/- feet with the 9wt and a stripping basket. All three fish were super hefty and well fed, no snakes. The 3rd was actually foul hooked in the pectoral, which is why there was no photo taken. Still surprised to foul hook one of these fish in 30-40 FOW.

Wind was rough today from the VT side, went 3 for 3 on the fly from shore. 2 were pretty clean fish, looked good. The other had a 16" or so lamprey still on it, which is happily dead now.

Re: Hatchery brook 10/13

Flossing is a way of snagging that appears as legit fishing. It's extremely popular in Alaska, and basically legal there.

It sounds like they'd be more open to a complete closure than a nighttime closure. I couldn't agree more. Perhaps markers setup to surround where people cannot fish?

Re: Hatchery brook 10/13

Banning the night fishing is a great start. Greg- I agree with you, you can definitely get lakers at night. However, you can easily get them during the day as well. Better to let the salmon/browns be!

Re: Hatchery brook 10/13

Agreed. The cove should be roped off from September-December 1st. I've seen some crazy shit up there which has made me stop going back.

Re: Winooski Fish Lift

I have trouble handling a 6 1/2' fly rod. I would think you could cast across the river, but the back cast must tricky. Hoping the rains come and raise the water levels. A 16' fly rod doesn't have a back cast, it's a spey rod. My buddy caught a smallish, but nice looking steelhead out of there today.

Re: Fall 2017 Hatchery Brook Observations:

An even better idea would be to not allow fishing from shore during the salmon run in fall. There's a guy that goes there with a treble hook with 3 "eggs" and drifts it through the current snagging fish. It's not a particularly ethical place to fish.. I hope you turn him in... this thread...
