  1. One thing I have always wondered about fish weight is the length of the "growing season". Do harsh winters and late springs will yield smaller kings because their growing season is shorter?
  2. NYS Health department gives out the fish consumption advisories not the DEC. It was changed recently and it is meals per month not meals per year.
  3. That smallmouth population will not rebound until the creel limit is reduced. It is silly that the smallmouth population is WAY lower than it was years ago, yet you can still keep 5 a day. Not good management practices IMO.

  14. I will be interested to see the info. One years data does not show a trend. Steve Lapan said it himself that the fish were not their normal areas last season due to the inconsistant weather. This will also affect the gill net surveys for lake trout. Also, The seven years showed an increase in population WITH stocking short falls.
  15. I'm not asking for further cuts Jerry. The cuts they are making are the right decision in my mind. As for protecting breeders, the slot limit should go back to No fish in the 25-30" range. Those are the prime breeders according to the DEC. As for lampreys, I find very few lampreys or lamprey wounds on Lakers. I find way more lamprey and lamprey wounds on browns and kings. I will have to start keeping a log of laker wounds on lakers. I have a hard time believing lampreys target other species when the laker population declines when we do not see many lamprey wounds on lakers in big numbers to begin with.
  16. They need to put the 25" - 30' slot back to keeping NONE in that range. Slots are for protecting prime spawners. The keep one in the sot is stupid. Why have a slot at all.
  17. The laker cuts make sense to me. The adult population is very high and can do a ton of damage. The Canadians do not fish them and they are stocked with very few getting culled out. The kings get boxed and we keep their population in check for the most part.
  18. I did not attend due to my work schedule. I would have been there if I did not have to work. I heard a couple grumblings from guys saying why go when we have no say in the matter. Well, I believe we do. We talked about laker cuts if they were going to cut kings. I thought it would never happen and now it sounds like they are going to cut them. Can someone give a summary of exactly what was talked about?
  19. I will be unable to attend. I will be stuck at work. One thing we need to push is better enforcement on the tribs. I know it has been mentioned before but it is even more important now that we are getting stocking cuts and have to depend on wild fish more.
  20. The offshore bite at this time of the year is mostly spoons and some flashers and flies. Kings are usually deep and in cold water and the steelies are usually in and above the thermalcline. Most of the kings are 100' plus down.
  21. If the lake is calm and the inside bite sucks, the offshore immature king and steelhead bite can be awesome at this time of the year.
  22. The perch run will be late this year. It has been very slow so far compared to the past couple years.
