In the 70’s you could fill up the bed of a pickup with smelt at most any tributary. Selkirk was a great place to dip. The introduction of the pacific salmon spelled doom to the smelt. The salmon liked them as much as we do there are still smelt in LO , but nowhere near the population that once was Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

This exact action was taken by the DEC on Little Galloo. It curtailed development of fledgling cormorants on the island. I believe it’s been stopped why , is not known

They enacted the ban on the “ sport” of snagging in 1995. Maybe it’s time to limit the fishing on the Salmon River to the lower sections , say , below Pulaski. And put a “ season “ in effect. Maybe Sept 1 to Oct 1

Gibbs-Delta bought out o’ki. And I’ve never seen anything good come from this company. They discontinued most of their kingfisher II colors Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Try being a little less condescending and act like you care that Lake Ontario and the St Lawrence are way above flood stage and that millions of dollars in property damage have occurred since this BS plan 2014 went into effect. The St Lawrence river drains ALL of the great lakes By holding back water when it should be discharged does not make room for water flowing downstream from the upper lakes. The St Lawrence seaway council is using the GL’s as a huge reservoir. I stand by my previous statement. There is MUCH more going on behind the scenes than we can ever hope to know.

Maybe not in the IJC. A ship’ s pilot perhaps ? You obviously have an interest in keeping the water level at P-2014 levels. I don’t have all the graphs and charts that you present. What I do have is 70 years of experience on LO. My family owned a camp on N Sandy Pond through the 50’s and early 60’s down the road from the Wigwam. I have been on the S Pond for over 20 years In all those years , I can never remember water levels this high. You can spout all the reasons that the level is good. But I suggest you don’t do it face to face with a camp owner standing in knee deep water in his bedroom the property owners have got to band together and start a class action lawsuit against the IJC and P-2014. The threat of losing money is the only thing that will stop the Seaway and ship owners

And if the water level is below the chart datum ( which it normally is at this time of year ). Ships run the risk of grounding Higher water levels make it easier and safer for ships to transit the seaway , both up bound and down bound Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I don’t know about the ecosystem. But it sure is helping the bottom line of the St Lawrence Seaway. Shipping more tonnage later every year. Need high water for that. By the way , the Seaway has already helped the LO ecosystem they introduced the zebra and quagga mussels , spiney and fishhook fleas , sea lamprey , round gobies , and a dozen or so other invasive species. It’s all about the money. They could care less about property damage and sport fishing Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

How would you ship ? In cooler with dry ice ? Overnight ? And can you give an estimate of shipping 10 six packs to 13601 ? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I spent 3 hours at the hatchery today. Lucky13 ‘ s take us right on Beaverdam brook was devoid of fish except for about 20 kings at the mouth of the ladder. They said the egg take is on track , but I’ve been going to the hatchery virtually every year for the past 10 or so , and this is the sparsest run I have witnessed.
