Good stuff, Ernie.  That place is fun for kids and adults too.  And the fishing right by the hatchery is good for steelies - lots of long-liners though...   You'll see guys fishing pure mud-water there because they know they can bounce a yarn-covered hook down through the slot and snag a steelie.

Hi AbKing:

            What does the long-Liners Tackle look like?
                                                           Thanks

What does the long-Liners Tackle look like?

I'm not sure, Ernie.  Only ever heard about it...  I believe it's a slinky-type weight with about 18" of leader and a single hook...

It's more like a 9 foot leader
