You got me Tim. But I will say I know places in other states where I can count on a wall hanger trout at least during the season. I have no faith in the Indiana lakes anymore for that.

 Can't wait to fish one of the NYC water supply reservoirs next year for big browns and smallies.

My favorite releases have always been Offshore Releases.
The black ones for regular trout and salmon fishing and the white light tension ones for smaller fish and light biters.
I used the white ones for walleye fishing.
I usually replace the cables with longer ones as it really helps see those fish that like to just swim along after they hit. ;)
