reading this, I’m sure that 4/1 will be just a few days away and a more accurate prognostication might be in order. If you engaged in the
appropriate winterization of your boat, you should have minimal prep work to do. Usually, a good wash & vacuum job is in order to begin with. I like to get a good coat of wax on the boat before launching in the spring as the boat usually doesn’t get pulled out again until sometime in August. Last year, instead of us-

ing a polish on it, I applied a coat of “Mother’s Wax” and I couldn’t have been happier. The mid-season clean-up was quite easy and the wax held up very well. After a quick wash down in the fall, I still had a real nice base coat of wax in place. Sure, it was a bit more time con- suming to hand apply the wax, but it was well worth it, that’s for sure. Prior to unwrapping
the boat & initiating the spring “clean-up,” the next order of business is to make a routine check of equipment. Since the first month or
so, after ice-out, is pri- marily “Top water” fishing (I don’t usually run down- riggers until later in the season) there are only the basics to go through. First order of business
is to give the jig boxes a thorough check. I lu- bricated them all up and applied a nice fresh coat
is pretty much confined to trolling single hook streamer flies, most of which are our own design, and we tied up enough of these last month to bring our inventory up to snuff. Final preparation now
brings us to going through our rod & reel set ups. Last year we converted all of our combos over to steelhead casting rods, which are strong enough to pull 14lb lead core line and limber enough for the fish to give you a real fight when hooked up. AJ’s Bait & Tackle, in Meredith, has a fine selection of these rods should you care to drop in and look them over. We set these rods up
with Cabela’s DM-30A line counter reels and have found that this makes a GREAT combo. These I load up with Cor- tland “Kerplunk®” 14lb test lead core line. For a terminal end, I use Cor- tland “Camoflage®” 4lb test monofilament as a leader.
I have been using
this line and leader combo for years and have found very little that would sug- gest any changes. Here’s a tip for you. Of
course, I am probably using my gear far more that the average and con- sequently, have to be as- sured that they are in tip top condition all of the time. As far as the lead core line is concerned, in the spring, 99.9% of your fishing will be on the first four colors of line.

colors. You can get
“Extra” out of your spool of line if you simply emp- ty the real and reverse the line. Now you have 4 – 5 colors that have never
seen the water. Most important is your
leader. Make sure that you are running at least a minimum of 50 – 60 feet of the 4lb test mono and that you check it often. Periodically, you should clip off the fly, as well as a foot or so of leader and retie the fly on. You don’t want to lose that trophy salmon or rainbow because the leader got nicked and broke off at the fly. As a final check, before hitting the water, please inspect and replace if necessary, any or all of your safety gear on board. Life jackets should be at the top of the list as the water is very cold in early spring and even with life- saving gear, your sur- vival rate is a very small window should you find yourself in the water. Don’t overlook checking
your VHF radio (a hand held should be a must even for those of you fish- ing in smaller boats that don’t have a permanently mounted radio.) Finally, make sure you have an alternate power source on board. Specifically, paddle(s), should your engine develop difficulty. Well, this should keep
you busy for a day or two and help to fill the time up prior to the first launch of the season. Should a charter aboard
the Dr. Hook be on your mind, we are taking book- ings and anticipate start- up as early as April 14th
.
