  1. Another great post kisutch ! I to am " grateful to have lived through " that fantastic fishery which crashed in 1994 with the arrival of the zebra mussel which changed the ecology of Lake Ontario !

    Fishing the south shore from Port Dalhousie at those glory days we did not have much chance to compete in the Star derby as compared to the fish on the north shore !

  2. Lot of great information " Kisutch " from Lake Michigan were our sport fishery started in the 1960s ! Ditto on the Lake Trout agenda which is alive and well in Ontario to " restore the ? native fishery " 

    As we saw it the major collapse was in 1994 with the ? arrival of the zebra mussel along with the exit of the smelt !

    The life cycle of the Lake Ontario Lake Trout has not been established , but clearly some are living a long time !

  3. Last spring all of our Ontario boat ramps were closed with apparent police presence ! There was NO COVID 19 on Lake Ontario and no Lyme disease ! The police presence imo could have been better served monitoring compliance in supermarkets [ several cases of COVID 19 have probably been traced there } I have seen multiple violations without action on the part of the business ] 

  4. Toms can be nasty Kevin ! Saw a video of a tom on his back beating away ONE coyote ! We had a resident tom who " attacked " my wife's car when he saw his image on the side door and she would not walk our dog for fear of an attack ! It may have been that the fox had learned a " lesson " with toms and felt it wise to stick to mice !

  5. Was it a coyote ? Maybe it was the way it was held but as I saw it the head was too big as was the body ! The real danger of these oytes if if they cross with a domestic dog = coydog ! Possible to get the worst of both !

  6. Re " mice and rodents " ! Coyotes regularly take fawns [ have found remains of same taken by coyotes ] ! Our cotton tail bunny population has been decimated also ! In town pups and small dogs go missing on a regular basis , multiple eye ball reports !

    Nesting birds eg. pheasants have all been wiped out & our goose population is way down , I have found the nests torn up !
