Every utility or business that has an outfall that returns water to the lake has to have a SPDES permit. The water returning to the lake has to be very clean and levels are strictly enforced.

It’s coming up at a good pace. Let’s hope it continues. The IJC released a statement the other day saying due to March precipitation and snow pack they expect the lake to be slightly above average. Slightly above average in the past to the IJC means start filling g sand bags!

You know guys will be crafty to circumvent the system. They will just need to think outside the box!

Perch and alewife populations fluctuate with Alewife populations. When alewife biomass is high, perch and walleye populations are low. Seeing that we have a large biomass of alewife, perch and walleye populations are more than likely low.

I have mixed feelings on parts of this. What is going to stop someone from just filling out a doe tag and reporting it just to get their second buck tag? I have heard rumors the DEC is going to make you keep the doe head. If that is the case, roadkill doe are going to be missing their heads. Opening up some DMU's for unlimited doe tags will let guys that want to kill doe, kill doe. Being able to kill two bucks in bow is great until your neighbor on a kills two mature bucks.

We take 55 million gallons a day from Lake Ontario with one plant and another 10 million gallons with another plant on average. Our two plant capacity is 190 million gallons a day. It's a drop in the bucket when Lake Ontario is trillions of gallons of water. With the water being used, water is also being treated at wastewater plants and put back into Lake Ontario.

When are you going? We did a shrimp and crab charter and it was a blast. We brought home 45lbs of shrimp and 105 blue crab.

I fish browns all summer and have the big boards out every trip. If it's banging the beach in August after an upwelling or thermalcline browns in 50', they are out. They are just pulling different rods.

It's all we can do. NY doesn't care about hunting and fishing enough in this state to put the proper amount of CO's on staff to make a difference. The CO's we have now do a great job but are so under staffed.

I’m all for using new and different tactics to stop guys from breaking game laws and abusing the resources. Stricter fines, tickets that stick and using technology like you stated would be a great start.

Believe what you want. Letting criminals out early, sanctuary cities, bail reform, ect. Soft on Crime policies don't make criminals fear the law.

DEC has trouble getting tickets to stick in some areas and the fines are a joke. The guys breaking the law on the tribs don't give a rats a$$. I have watched them snag away in the Genny gorge and see a CO coming and they just run. Stricter fines would be a better deterrent. Seeing that NY favors the criminal, it's not going to happen.

4. You would have to have huge amounts of chlorine in the water to affect the fish. It would be eaten up by the organics in the water. We treat millions of gallons of Raw water from Lake Ontario daily. It takes hundreds of gallons a day to have a low residual in the water. 7. I would say there are a bunch of guys beating them up that is contributing to the die off. Do I think it's the entire reason? No. IMO, it's more than one factor. Hopefully these guys back off the steelhead a little.

If you read the comments on the facebook post, it's from guys catching them over and over again. A fish getting caught every time it tries to eat a meal isn't good. When you exert a ton of energy and can't get a meal without a hook, it's not good for your body.

It's not happening until after they are released after being caught from the reports. Catching them over and over again depriving them of a meal can't be helpful.

Repaint the Stingers that the paint comes off.
