    I agree..... finally some good collaboration between the DEC and the Canadians. Very interesting data. I especially like the tagging study done on Chinooks. Seems like the Canadians really have their stuff together.
    There has been some talk about the Steelhead numbers.... a guy brought up the effects of a fish being stressed from hooked multiple times in a stream and the ability to reproduce.... very interesting.....
    The good news is that it appears with the warmer winter last year, the alewives seemed to do a little better. We are still missing 2 year classes of them, but the biologist seemed optimistic that the numbers would go up again this year. One can only hope....

    Here is some information on the Tagging program.   I have been told there are still a few tags out there in the lake.  If you find one, please send it in. The information is only as good as what they get back.  Tightlines. 

     

     

  2. UV Tape Peeling

    Just wondering if anyone has found a quick fix for peeling UV tape on spoons.  I have come across a bunch that have started to have the tape peel off on the bottoms or sides before even getting used.  I would just replace the tape but most spoons now there is paint on the tape.  Thanks. 

     

     

     

  3. Here is a short video on GLIER (Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research) for some of the salmon that were tagged earlier this year for a new depth and temperature study on Lake Ontario.  The first sets of information were discussed at this year's Salmon Symposium in Port Credit.  Remember, if you get a tagged fish there is a reward for returning the tags (information is at the end of the video).   The information in the study is only as good as what they get back!

  4. For anyone coming to the Salmon Symposium Saturday there should be a good presentation on Saturday - Prey Fish Dynamics from Brian Weidel, USGS Oswego NY and Jeremy Holden, OMNRF (what are they eating and how that's going). It would be a good time to ask questions. Lets hope all those 3-5 year old alewife in the lake had a great spawn and the YOY had a good winter.

  5. Less than a week to go! Lots of good stuff has come in for the silent auction. The BBQ is ready to roll thanks to marina staff and Snug Harbour restaurant. About 200 people have registered. Here's the Agenda:

    The Port Credit Salmon and Trout Association is pleased to announce that we're hosting our second Lake Ontario Salmon Symposium at the Waterside Inn in Port Credit on April 2nd.

    The program has been developed in partnership with the Lake Ontario Management Unit, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry -- but we've been able to hold them to the principle that all the topics should improve catch rates for those who attend.

    Here's a taste of the line-up:
    - Randy Scott's 30 Year Angler Diary Revealed: Over 12,000 fish including 50 Chinooks over 35 pounds!
    - Lake Ontario's Trophy Chinook Salmon Fishery: Prey Fish and Chinook Salmon Dynamics with Perspectives from Lake Huron and Michigan
    - Tagged Trout and Salmon: Tracking Fish Movement in the Open Lake
    - State of the Lake: A look back at 2015 and ahead to 2016

    All proceeds will help fund the work of our local association, and beyond. We recognize that salmon cover a lot of water out in Lake Ontario. We intend to support good work that supports the big picture.
