https://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/40209/20191223/water-flows-reduced-at-moses-saunders-dam Even though waters are acknowledged as high they are going to reduce flows now to "reduce stress on the ice cover downstream".

Wasn't it written into the IJC charter that they cannot be sued from the results of their actions? I think I read that somewhere. If that is true that is the primary issue at hand. The idea of private shipping interests being represented by a quasi international government entity is a major red flag. If an entity is immune from any repercussions from its actions there is no driver to ensure its actions are kept in check. Let's say weather had more to do with this like iiwhistler says-if they could be held responsible you can be dam sure they'd have all the data presented in an orderly fashion to depict no fault. You could also be dam sure they would not be lackadaisical about missing opportunities to increase flows when needed. What we have is a bureaucracy that has zero incentive to be proactive and shipping corps shielded from fault. Whether its weather or man-made doesn't matter as much as the fact there is zero culpability.

What were your GPS coordinates?

I saw the snapped off telephone poles and downed trees everywhere in Cape the next day. That was a crazy blow.

Most likely a greenland shark, maybe a bull shark. Hard to tell.

thanks for report

Thoroughly impressed. One of, if not my favorite hauls.

We never made it to the salmon waters but should have. Launched at isthmus. Trolled every walleye spot I know of for 8 hours on Monday and did not get one fish. Should have motored straight to Stony. Probably would have had a better chance at walleye fishing trout in those waters.

Great report, thank you.

Anyone fishing the Henderson area for trout/salmon willing to share a report?

Someone stole stainless screws from your transom???? WTF

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but when I last used it, an 18ft is fine and once you leave the narrow cattail channel go tighter to the right side of creek mouth while following/finding the channel out to the lake.

Its high and rising every day. Its over its mean water mark. Luckily, many of the vulnerable areas that were exposed two years ago have added infrastructure now, but nonetheless folks with property on the shoreline are worried history repeats itself.

Hopefully there isn't a hurricane the night before the opener like last year. All of the floating debris and colored water made it tough. After the opening weekend the bait showed up and made the fishing extremely difficult. I am not sure what the bait was composed of, but I think it may have been ciscoes. Enormous clouds of bait and over long distances. Hard to catch a walleye that has three cisco tails hanging out of its mouth. The few times I did catch multiple fish in an outing it was away from the bait believe it or not.

Just got my Cutco and used it for the first time on a batch of crappies. Never used a knife that sharp before. I almost bled out from nicking my finger with it.
