Actually there was an article about the fishing in Oswego County last year in one of the Syracuse papers. They quoted a study by some Cornell people on the industry and impotrtant drivers of spotrfishing. Derbys,it turns out are the mainstay of the industry. Should derbys stop then the industry would suffer a significant blow. If I can find the article I will post it for you.

Wind Turbines on Lake Ontario!
chamberpresident replied to chinook35's topic in Open Lake Discussion
This project called GLOW for Great Lakes Off Wind is huge and will devestate the entire eastern basin of the lake. I am working with Shawn Doyle and others to stop this. The chairman of the NYPA Richard Kessel has stated that if we do not want this they will go away. Unfortunately, in a meeting last week and subsequent e-mails with H. Douglas Barclay it is clear they are not planning to go away. RFP's are due back to the agency in June, before our summer customers and residents arrive. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2011. Developers are right now working on their proposals. The agency does not require approvals from local municipalities because the State ownd the bottom of the lake We need many people to show up on Tuesday at the Jefferson County Courthouse on Arsenal Street across from Stream International. The meeting starts at 7pm but we anticipate heavy union turnout to support the meager jobs this will bring to them. If you and your friends can make it you might help send a message to Albany. Come early and come strong. We need contributions to continue television and radio ads. You can contribute $5.00 $20 or more at our website http://www.preservethegoldencrescent.com This group is working with the newly formed Joint Commission to Protect Lake Ontario Communities comprised of goveernment, business and citizen leaders. All funds raised are directly used to inform the public of this outrage.
