Boom is still in. Look closely at this photo. You can see the lines of barrels holding back the ice. You can see the break in the boom ( line of barrels in a line pointing downstream). Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
I heard the boom removal has been delayed due to the amount of ice on the back side of the boom. Looking at the camera, ice is going through the area that broke this spring in the wind event we had.
Lots will be tight to the bottom but I catch a ton of browns on high divers and cheaters. As August rolls around, the numbers only go up of fish up in bath water. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
This needs to happen. This has been an issue since they closed snagging. From snagging to poaching deer, fish and game fines are a joke in NY state. I just read a story about a guy in Ohio that poached a deer and received a $43,000 fine and loss of his license for 10 years. I would think that is a great way to keep guys (some not all) from breaking the laws! In NY state he would have received a hand slap.
1000’ of wire fits perfect. There is a slight space for backing but IMO it’s not worth the hassle. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
They do not survive well with alewife as the main forage. The original strains are gone and the ones they stock are doing ok but not great. The Canadians stock 600,000 a year and get less than 20 returning adults a year. That would be wonderful for everyone...….
No one is saying all trib guys are unethical snaggers Dave. I know tons of respectable trib anglers and have fished with some of them. It is the bad apples that I hate and b*tch about (both land and boat). Here is a question you might be able to answer Dave: How has TU not used its pull to get the state to do more about the issues on the LO tribs?
Spoons off riggers, slide divers, wire divers, leadcores, coppers and drop weights off plainer boards depending on how deep they are. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
