SALMON RIVER , SALMON AND STEELHEAD THREAD...

[jeffmac85]

Trap Pautzke stuff is pretty good.   I like to mix their products together a little bit to get the best results.  I honestly don't think it's much better than plain old borax for skein.   Btw, jello packets work great for coloring eggs when curing, just mix it up with the borax before you put it on the eggs.  For loose eggs though I really do love the Pautzke liquid brine.   I just follow the directions on the bottle and the eggs come out perfect for spawn sacs every time.   A little trick, I add a 1/2-1 cup of brown sugar in with the brine (might need tp heat it to get it all to dissolve, then let cool to room temperature before putting the eggs in).  We did awesome last year on steelhead with brown trout and coho eggs I did with that recipe.  As long as you dry them out a bit beforehand you can freeze them and use them as far out as 3 years later I've seen

fished Oswego  again this morning and ran into  ole Harold ,was  good to see  ya  buddy! the  fishoswegoriver men had a tourney and  were having fun ,was interesting to watch ....seen a lot of fish caught  my only issue was , why doesn't the  city have the fish cleaning station opened on a week end? the bathrooms were closed too  but blue bowls are  at the  post office  parking lot

the water was a  little better today  and made for a  good bobber drift

water was at  1300 cfs and  temp was 65 degrees

Did a lot of driving around today. Checked south sandy, no water no fish. Checked black hole. Some people had fish but it was slow. Altmar was dead. Stopped for lunch and then made the drive to Oswego again. Got there at 5. Caught another pretty brown just a little bigger than yesterday. But he had a real nice kype on him at 6.5 lbs 23".
