The Atlantics on Huron are not self sustaining. They are a very fragile fish. I don't think they would do well in pen projects. Extremely poor return for the investment. Best chance might be to get rid of the Black River Dam and let them get up into the small headwaters in the adirondacks. In our lifetime this species may go extinct in the wild.

Looks like walworth NY.

Arrow head.

I should come and help you look for that deer.

Level of disappointment at DEFCON level 5. Strapped climber to tree and noticed phone ringing. That can’t be good. Oh, it’s one of my colleagues......that definitely can’t be good.....oh you can’t work cause your sick? Ugh! Back to car, home to iron clothes and off to work to cover. Fgjjvcbbccbncv xsyhjvfddhjjbfguck!!! Deer in all the fields this morning giving me the middle hoof-finger.

At least he will have poison ivy itch by morning

Have not been out since bow season. Me and Mr. Itchy will be back at it for an all-day sit tomorrow.

Sounds like damage from last weekend of deer drives where people are taking shots at running deer Brian.

Nice Jeremy!

No, your unused buck tag becomes a buck or doe tag for late season with bow or muzzleloader privilege. Read regulations, it does spell it out thou somewhat confusing. I asked a DEC officer and confirmed.

I will torpedo release my spring lakers towards the East Brian.

Great photo!

Hmmmmm..........more lake trout = higher Gambler Rig sales. I think we know what is going on here Brian 😂.

Congrats! Is the right antler goofy or distorted in water?

WOW!

Warming trend. Deer feel no pressure to move-feed during daylight.

Salty13, there are multiple stories that cause steelhead mortality.....even stream fisherman. Your level of helpfulness in this discussion has run its course. Go find your waders and dust off your fly rod.

Lucky, I think the idea is with a five king limit, charter captains won't have to venture into steelhead water. Most king fishing takes place inside of 200', and their ain't many steelhead in that zone. Saves on the gas bill for the charter operator also. I am not saying there should not be some form of short- term tweaking of the regulations to help steelhead recover, but try to make it a win-win. The cuts have been in one direction for a couple of decades.

Dave, you are doing a lot of deflection to the DEC. The DEC would not be proposing these changes unless someone or group approached them. A lot of the charter captain angst towards the trib leadership group comes from the thought that one group of fishermen can effect another groups’ bottom line. Now the LOC has taken steelhead out as a fall division which means someone had to get in Dave Chilson’s ear. All groups would agree catching more and bigger fish is a good thing but it would be nice to see the evidence to back the changes. Why not make the changes temporary to study the effects of the new regulations? To preserve baitfish numbers and keep captains from having to target steelhead, why not increase the king creel limit back to 5 fish until bait rebounds? This needs further discussion in a bigger forum with a larger audience.
