Distrust comes from experiences. We were sold on the idea of increasing water levels on Lake Ontario so more fluffy baby ducks and pike could be born in the flooded cottage yards dotting the bays on the South Shore when in reality it was just a way for the shipping industry to make more money. Hopefully the DEC can show via actual numbers that there is a return on the changes. Generally speaking, what is good for the fish is typically good for the fishermen. There is a fine balance between making the put-and-take fishermen and the C&R fishermen happy. My hope is they study the results of the changes and don't make the regulations permanent until they can prove via numbers that there is a positive effect.
You work? Seemingly everyday there is a new post with you on a sit lol. First day for me will be Saturday. The next two weeks they are suckers for rattling.
Wow !! 600 fish is a ton. Congrats! Zach, you still haven’t answered my PM. Any interest in producing some yellow cedar “Lyman” plugs for us salmon guys?
If a deer sat at the base of a tree and ate every last apple, they would explode with gas! Apples are a “desert”. Deer need a good mix of greens,browse, protein from nuts and lastly fruit. They will eat two or three apples and keep moving. Great kill spots as they make noise crunching them that blocks the sound of you drawing your bow.
Yes. I believe Canadians were concerned about some runs of steelhead that developed off tribs to the St. Lawrence that they considered discontinuing stocking on the East end of the lake.
Take time to go thru these videos. Much of the hard work on maintaining a quality fishery in Canada falls to fishing clubs.

I was a hired gun for Vince lol. Had a blast. In reference to -does the signature of a shark ball matter..,,,I believe the great Vince Pierleoni once said at a LOTSA lecture “everything matters” as it pertains to what we put in the water.
I will call BS on attraction of facets. Go to John King’s website michiganangler.com and scroll thru some of his underwater videos. He has a few with underwater audio on capturing how obnoxiously loud cable hum is under the water. I can’t believe fish can “hear” or detect anything with that hum going on. I spend a lot of effort making my gear quieter and more stealthy. I do own a non-faceted shark and catch fish off it. Don’t buy into gimmicks or snake-oil salesmen......that is how we ended up with Trump.
