Just bringing this back to the top. I'm guessing that there are quite a few people going in soon for fishing!

I'll add my list when I get back (sometime after June 10)

chadwick,

We need to talk about fishing. Let me know when you will be coming to Ely, I desperately need to counsel you about this stuff!! :)

My 8:
1. Mepps size 4, gold blade, bucktail
2. Jointed Rapala, black and gold, don't know the exact size about 4"
3. Yo-Zuri minnow bait, silver with red and yellow, 3 3/4"
4. Yo-Zuri minnow bait, silver, 6" for trolling
5. Buzz bait, black
6. Beetle Spin, 1/4 oz, black
7. Rapala shad rap, bright color
8. Senkos, white 5"

It goes without saying that I'd replace most of these with terminal tackle, jig heads, floating jigs, hooks, sinkers, etc. but that doesn't really lend to this topic.
