Free to a good home

One 9 year old, Starlight Creek Angling Society chewing West Highland
Terrier. Take him before I ship him off to a market in asia.

At least the little **** has good taste, he ignored my wife's "left behind"
book alone.

Shoot, I thought one of your cane rods needed a new home.

How big is he and what size hook do you think would be best?

About 20lbs and I would suggest the Mustad Sea Demon 7731AD 16/0 for a
start.

They say there are some huge lakers in Yellowstone Lake so I was just
wondering. ;-)

Deliberately fish for lakers? Harumph. I caught a 12 pounder (small btw) on
an 8 weight in Labrador. I've seen little brook trout give a better fight.
It was like bringing in a log. Big disappointment. Now, if ya can put that
pooch into some northern pike...........

Not always true. Sue and I had backpacked into in small lake in the Wind
River Range and were camped near the outlet of a pretty little lake. I
was fishing the outlet having a ball catching lots of little Brookies
when out of the depths a big laker came up and took the Humpy I was
fishing. It looked like an alligator coming out of the depths after all
the little Brookies. Very cool on a five weight.

On a dry too! I've heard that they will hit a dry once in awhile. I hooked
into one on the Rapid with a nymph - a small nymph - and he used his size, not
his power, to break the 5x tippet. I was using a 9 foot 4 weight and was
surprised that I had him on for so long (maybe three minutes) before he moved
into a slow current and broke off.

It was a shock even though the ranger that had told us about the lake
said that there were Lakers in the lake, but I figured they we be in the
deepest water.

I caught a couple small Lakers, 1 to 2 pounds, while fishing for
Grayling in northern Saskatchewan and the Grayling were much more fun.
