I don't think I would be canoeing the Genesee with young boys.

If you add water to soup it will dilute it. For phosphorus it is a timing issue. Ohio farmers don't start fertilizing their fields until later in the spring. Dr. Weidel check the phosphorus levels from June thru September data if you have it. The data below shows trends but doesn't tell the story of our high water period. https://aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/lno.10055

There was a mud line and debris field that developed from the currents near the power plant that extended out into the midwaters. Bait and kings used that finger of off-colored water as a highway to move from deep winter pattern into nearshore water all spring long. I never really had to go anywhere but near the power plant all year to find fish.

Thanks for posting. Amazing how you were near two major ports and no boats nearby. The older format of pro/am had no culling allowed.

Heavily stocked but not sure how hatchery closures will effect. Water is often too high in spring so July should be ok. If your boys can throw spinners on spinning gear, they can catch trout.

Lots to do around Lake Placid. Hikes, Ausable River for trout (check regs), canoe rentals, Tupper Lake nearby.

CARP off the dock with corn!!

Maybe King Crimson?

Agreed! The hot spoon keeps hitting because of the fish smell on it. I would also agree you don't want fish smell to rot on something. If I actually used meat, I would probably clean my meat heads at the end of each day.

Great place. Go into park in evening and it is like a safari of big game. Estes lake has trout that you can get to with a belly boat. Dry fly midge hatches in evening. The out flow below Estes Lake dam is quick boulder pocket nymph fishing. Small bead head presentations. If you go over the top of divide, the outflow of shadow Mountain Reservoir or the headwaters of the Colorado River get a nod.

Fantastic
