    Comparing Sandy to Irondequoit creek is like comparing apples to Kiwi..... You can tell you haven't spent much time on either creek. Before restoration efforts, Irondequoit Creek was a trout stream year round. Sandy serves boiled trout in the summer and has for many many decades. Irondequoit Creek has fast moving water with more areas of gravel and doesn't run through farms. Sandy is a lot of frog water and has flat rock bottom. Irondequoit and its tributaries are 36 miles long compared to 14 miles at Sandy. I'm all for restoration where it makes sense. Totally rebuilding Sandy from the ground up doesn't make sense. Putting some effort into an existing trout stream to make it better does.

    Well, the CDN research vessel is hard at work. (red denotes stops)

    Well done! It's taken a few years and many obstacles had to be overtaken but the Irond" creek restoration efforts are paying off. It's a shame that the Sandy fishermen have been so negative towards any restoration thoughts of Sandy creek.

    Yes Irondequoit creek is currently being studied with electro shocking events by region 8 where with help from Seth Green TU we’ve discovered significant wild reproduction of brown trout and steelhead. The studies have been done in late summer early fall so not in the time frame to find wild chinooks but surely the salmon are successful spawning in Irondequoit creek. This creek does stay open even through the harshest winters with its steeper gradient that keeps water moving. TU has worked with Monroe county parks and towns bordering the creek to maintain wood in the stream. Our “Wood Is Good” program has enhanced not only cover and protection for par trout and salmon but also promotes better bug life. Where once towns and the parks department would remove trees that feel into the stream they now leave them as long as they won’t promote flooding and where canoe and kayakers can portage around wood in the stream.

    Personally , I think this is BS question. The problem as I see it with a lot of this Gov assistance is it is enabling people to seek the assistance instead of pulling themselves up by their bootstraps . And bleeding hearts perpetuate it . Yes some are truly in need of it but there are an awfull lot that use it as a means to survive so they don't have to work. And I have seen this with my own eyes . I have friends that hate Trump . Blame him for a lot of what is their own decision making for many years . Spent their money on frivolous stuff with no thought of the future . The US is supposed to be the land of opportunity, not the land of equity we are turning into . All men are created equal . But that changes as their lives go on . Work hard , be smart and with some luck you can have a better life than those who choose not to .

    This Afternoon I was walking my dogs along the creek in the Spring Lake dog park and as my golden retrievers always do, they jumped into the creek to play and swim. Then I saw them. A school of about 20 kings spawning in the gravel near the rifles. Me retrievers saw them too and they started running back and forth trying to push them into narrow shallows, but they were not very successful. It was for me the clearest proof that I-Creek is a natural reproduction creek. The thing that most impressed me is that these kings were a lot bigger than the ones I saw in the Altmar hatchery a few days ago. This is probably because of the wholesale slaughter taking place in the Salmon River, but I am silently hoping that I-Creek holds a genetic group that is larger than the ones in the Salmon River. Either way, it is very special to see nature in action in a creek that has come back from terrible pollution and is now clean and alive again,

    Without outing anyone, I have had numerous LOU folks fish with me that are the polar opposite of me regarding politics. Some even sport bumper stickers lol (Bob). Humanity isn’t divided by political views. That being said the “tolerant” side is much more prone to not wanting to break bread or lend a hand with those that don’t share their perspective.

    HB2; So if you have a relative, a neighbor or a stranger that needs a helping hand or a meal, would you lend a hand, offer a meal (or a fish) whether you know or don't know who they voted for, where they came from, what their faith is or isn't, what their net worth is or what their zip code is.?

    The mass exodus from NYS has been going on since Mario Cuomo . He tried to tax the hell out of businesses in NY . The Cariolinas said come on down boys and we won't tax you for 10 years , and low and behold , amazingly , they left. My son lives in NC and I'm amazed at the amount of money and growth there is there. Property tax is 1/10 of what it is here . So you can't blame Trump for the woes of NY State . And now we have a commie telling the public the man is keeping you down and owes you free everything . And we are a sanctuary state housing , feeding and paying illegals. Just think how far that 8 billion Kathy sent as a bail out to NYC would go upstate . More cops , teachers , Game Wardens for a few . The state is circling the drain . And Kathy is at the helm , siding and paling up to a commie. So why not vote for a new Gov . What have we got to loose ?

    Many of the state cutbacks are actually a TRICKLE DOWN EFFECT due the current administration's poorly thought out Federal program terminations and cutbacks in favor of corporate greed and power. A lot of this is because we have too much corporate entanglement of the federal government on both sides of the aisle, in Washington as well as in the States. DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS MUST WORK TOGETHER TAKE OUR FEDERAL AND STATE HOUSES BACK, BY TELLING OUR LEADERS TO WORK FOR ALL OF US, AND/OR BY ELECTING NEW LEADERS TO WORK FOR US ALL INSTEAD OF THEMSELVES AND THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS. Many of the DECs programs rely on Federal funds that come from multiple federal programs. They also rely on cooperative partnerships with many of those federal agencies. Starting with DOGE and continuing with direct cuts from the Whitehouse, many of the programs that support those efforts were cut, along with Fed funds to support the state(s) efforts toward those programs. So, for many of the programs, if the Feds stop providing fiscal and/or logistical support for them, the State is unable to continue or fully support them. This is true for water, air, wildlife, health, disaster and all other major life support issues. Malevolent corporate greed has been slowly changing the narrative away from these issues in favor of wall street. Wall street investors have been tripping over themselves trying to grab up pieces of the Crypto and AI waves that have yet to (and may never) acquire a steady footing. Meanwhile, AI companies and Wall Street investors are scrambling to stay ahead of the game without causing any major corrections digital wildfires or societal meltdown. These are things that can only be effectively dealt with at the federal level. BUT WE NEED HOUSE AND SENATE RULES REPAIRS. NAMELY LOBBYING AND CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM. WITHOUT THAT, OUR DEMOCRACY WILL WHITHER AWAY.

    I can respect that answer I've been a registered Republican since 18 years old but I have voted Democrat
  27. Gill-T
    I changed my affiliation to an Independent probably 10 years ago. I vote for the candidate that is best for the country at that time.
  28. fisherdude
    I give you credit you're the first Democrat to advocate for a change for the dec and Lake Ontario. all year long debate after debate complaining about how to fix Lake Ontario and make bigger fish but no one is advocating for a change in the governor's race.
