LongLine

Seth Green made a stop (red) and is on the move southward: Kaho still in port.

I agree with Gator on that one. Exactly what I've heard. You don't want Pinks!

Water? Facilities? Someone complained about "damaged" fish from raceways? I didn't pick Sandy and I'm sure the "powers that be" didn't pick it just to pi$$ off a few fishermen.

"Google" Fish farms to see how they work. "Google" Fish farm incidents/escapes to see effects on local tribs.

Jeff back in port: Probably preparing for public tours on 2 Sept. -"Little Cousin" refueled and on trailer in parking lot at Genny - Kaho in port at Oswego - Seth Green in port at the cape - Lake Guardian in port at Milwaukee.

No record of Pinks ever intentionally stocked in Gr Lakes. CNDs wanted to stock them in Hudson Bay back in 1955, so got eggs from out west. They didn't survive at hatchery. Hatchery disposed of few surviving hatchlings/fingerlings down the "toilet" which led to Current River and Lake Superior. In '71, (8 generations later) some were caught in Huron and tribs in Huron have reported catches since. In '85 NYS record Pink caught in Erie. (40 years later a "big" one caught on the SR) . https://northernwilds.com/pink-salmon-an-improbable-tale-in-lake-superior/ https://www.outdoorlife.com/fishing/new-york-pink-salmon-record-rescinded/ Interesting facts: - Only male Pinks develop "hump" at spawning time. - Pinks very prolific. - Pinks hard to differentiate from young Cohos (similar situation AS from Browns) - Greatly expanded Pink populations cited as detrimental to King populations Vancouver to Alaska. - Often advised never to "flush" aquarium fish. Questions: - What are the odds that guy caught the only Pink in Lake Ontario? - Pink caught on SR had "hump." If Nat Repro occurs on SR, has Mother Nature cross bred some with Kings? **** Back to Spawning areas: Why not put the Sandy AS allotment in a small nearshore fish farm off Sandy? Release after 6-9 months and let them determine where they want to go? Srvival instinct pretty strong. They'll enter the creek or stay in lake until spawning or stray a few miles to find successful habitat. E-W. I.E. I-bay or Oak. If they enter the creek, they'd be available for "trib guys" (spawn or not) similar to the historical stocking of Powder Mill. (.E. DEC stocked a week before opening trout season & and crowds appeared. (Did they only stock spawners?) NOTE: Hatchings & fingerlings require time in creek. These would be yearlings plus 6-9 months and wouldn't necessarily require resident time for growth.

Some threads belong in "comics corner" so everyone obviously knows it is joking around.

"Little cousin" making up for lost time and working hard: Jeff still can't make up his mind. (or maybe lost something up north and went back to get it?)

eVinci™ Microreactor | Westinghouse Nuclear Above shows a layout of facility (sales/innovation pitch?)

Been using an 18 ft'r for years. Only suggestion I'd make is to make sure you have plenty of depth. I.E. from floor to top of gunnel should go well (way) above your knee.

On Erie, WOW! Maybe restoration of the Detroit River is helping Erie.

"Little cousin surveying or dodging ragboats?

Westinghouse unit fits on flatbed truck, but they claim less than 5 acres required.
