Eh, Pulaski relies on the googan brigade of salmon snatchers to keep businesses open. Also, Salmon eggs are not going to eye-up until the river water temp gets into the 50’s. Let the river continue to be the place where future Great Lakes fishermen/ women are born. They have to start somewhere. With global warming, September-October runs are not going to have viable offspring produced. Catch and release-only after Nov 1st.

Ok, you are forgiven.

How old do you think he was now that you got to examine him in person?

Some classics in there.

Merry Christmas all!

Water is coming down Welland Canal.

Smelt are an invasive species. You could not make a dent in bait population via stocking alewives or smelt. If conditions are right, they will re-populate themselves. We have a boom and bust smelt population on Erie. Some years tons, some years none. I think there are periodic wanderings from Michigan + Huron that end up in Erie. We do get occasional Kings caught on Erie as proof of wandering.

Anyone have a fix on where I can get a hold on some black NBK spoon tape? Thanks.

Smelt are bottom oriented. The filtering via mussels have probably effected smelt numbers more than anything. Alewife trawls will pull up very few during the survey.

Damn, you Cayuga guys are getting my juices flowing. PM if you need a mate this winter!

Prediction....pats won’t win a playoff game and Buffalo will beat the Texans. Mad props to the “gamers” that carry the patriots to all the wins, but the writing is on the wall. Allen missed two easy throws to his tightend that would have helped. Funny how he makes the hard throws on the move when he just lets it rip. When he has the easy throws he misses. Frustrating. Great game.

no

There is a pretty large catch and release-only section already on the Salmon River. There is nothing wrong with catching kings, but I would like kings to be catch and release-only stream-wide after November 1st.

Plenty of warm water still. Looks like I could go trolling offshore. https://www.glerl.noaa.gov/res/glcfs/glcfs.php?lake=o&ext=vwt&type=N&hr=00

I would have liked to see less cuts on kings and more cuts on lake trout. Lake trout in Ontario can live for a decade, contributing to more alewives and smelt being eaten than a salmon that lives 2-3 years. Pray for Canadian wilds to fill in gaps.

Anti-hunting organizations love shortened seasons, point restrictions etc. Get with your neighbors and create a plan without state law involvement.

My name is Chad and I enjoy long walks in the woods.

.....made you look.

I am right behind you.

He has been in my neighborhood also. Last year he shredded a bunch of trees in neighbor’s yards. He moves around parallel to the 290.

You are talking in circles. You can kill two bucks per year.

Ya I think you are right with Greenland not Iceland.

There are runs in Canada still-but dwindling. A few years back they did a radio tracking study to see where the atlantics go once they are in the ocean. The results of the study showed a good portion of the fish stocks going up to Iceland (if memory serves). Once the migration pathway was discovered and the info went public, the fishing industry decimated stocks in short order. Research designed to help uncover mysteries inadvertently did much harm.
