Higher runoff, seems to me, logically leads to more "stuff" being washed in the lake. Question is "what's the stuff?" - Good "stuff" or bad stuff?" Articles that I've seen indicate a rise in pharmaceuticals & plastizers. Obviously NYS phosphorus ban in soap & fertilizers has helped reduce phosphorous loading from NY side but what about the effects from Lake Erie & the Canadian side? Erie has algae blooms, which I believe have been blamed on phosphorus loading and the Canadians don't have Federal laws like the US does concerning secondary wastewater treatment nor the same fertilizer laws. I remember a few news articles about raw municipal waste being dumped directly into the lake because treatment plants overflowed in Canada. It's also my understanding that only a few Canadian cities have waste water treatment anything like the US has. (I'm thinking Kingston & Windsor) Hamilton being the most guilty polluter on Lake Ontario. But back on point -something to think about: lake Ontario has very wicked gyres, (circulations, hence mixing - with offshore generally a little slower than nearshore) especially in the winter time. (which has been reversed at least once this winter according to the GL Currents monitoring website) Therefore I would think that high water levels would have a diluting effect of pollutants from the other two main sources, on phosphorous & water quality studies. i.e same or greater tonnage of "stuff" but much more water. (I don't know how many "gillions" of gallons 3 ft or 4 ft of surface water represents) Come on Spring!

Currently bouncing 246.2 to 246.5 at Rochester. Recent Outflows: Tom B. (LongLine) -
Just remember to lower a stacked rigger slowly, so the lines don't tangle.

7 to 10 ft for me

So those fish in the pic came into the cone and then dove way down...right? -
At 3 am Cape Vincent at 245.4. At 8:45 am 246.6. At 5:12am Ogdensburg at 243.4. At 10:18am at 244.2 winds greatly affect current flow. Gyre back to normal direction this time of year but current very strong. Near 20cm along S shore. I'm sure waves on top of that level & gyre doing damage. Probably a lot of spray ice
-
At 7:48 water level at Cape Vin was 245.73. At Olcott was 246.24. That's a 6" difference with ENE wind at only15 knots.

June 3, 2019, max was 249.1 Ft at Cape Vincent. July remained in high 248's, Aug stayed in low to mid 248's

gyre going back to normal (counterclockwise) outflow: Ogdensburg

Marks on fishfinders can be interesting to interpret. If I was seeing a lot of marks like the one on the left and the center, I'd check the angle that the transducer makes to the water level as my boat sits on the water. Thinking that it was tipped backwards too far. I'm having trouble visualizing in 3-D how a fish can be first seen in the cone shallow then go deeper. (unless he was dive-bombing towards the center of the cone) If tipped too far backwards then the first two fish could have been swimming horizontally but perpendicular away from your boat. (hence further out of the cone) If a perfectly vertical cone passes over a stationary fish, it will show up deeper then appear shallower then deeper again. Like an inverted arch. (checkmark). If he was coming up from the bottom then the mark would start deep then go shallower. i.e mark sloped the other way than on your screen. Someone help me on this? Also remember that length of the mark does not necessarily mean length of fish, rather it means he spent a longer time in the cone. i.e. the one on the right was probably a follower.

Such a strong gere on east end probably helps to hold some water back from river. I've seen Vincent go up a good 12" & Rochester down the same, due to winds, in just a few hours.

Rigg'rs & 320's … Don't leave home without them. -
Fish will come out of temp often. If you see followers, shorten a lead on at least one rod.
-
I've run solo for a long long time. (with 8 1/2's) With any rod, after you've lost your 1st two decent fish, you'll have learned what you need to do to get them in the boat. -
How often should I replace my mono? Every year?
LongLine replied to Bustersit's topic in Tackle and Techniques
I replace every year. I also cut a bunch off after a decent fish. -

iiWh' - You complain about low water in Lake St Lawrence yet you forget that that lake didn't exist before the seaway was built. Area became known as "the lost villages." Not only people (over 6,500) but all the houses (over 500) were relocated. Anyone who has built there since should have seen this repeat in history was going to happen, according to your (and your supporters) arguments. The fact that it hasn't happened in the last 60 yrs has no bearing on it. Additionally, you've stated environmental improvements are made with higher and lower water levels. Well, you just got your wish with Lake St Lawrence now being so low. So why complain about that, maybe you'll catch some real muskies next season. Lucky 13 - So the high water is just making a bad situation worse. That's a great justification! BTW, Isostatic rebounding is a tipping of the lake bottom that has been recognized with the St Lawrence going up & the Niagara area equally going down - just like a teeter-totter. (The middle which is like a fulcrum isn't affected) If my recollection is correct, it's something like 0.0035 inches per year so don't worry your grandkids and their grandkids and their grandkids and many many more generations won't have to worry about it.

"profits"....."revenues"..."GDP"..."costs" . You need an economics dictionary as you obviously don't know the difference and certainly can't make up your mind..

Please make up your mind. It either cost shipping $1 billion or it didn't. Given 90 days for summer (even though flow wasn't there the full summer and using the higher estimate): $4M per day x 90days = $360M. 360M doesn't round off to 1 Billion (not even on your fantasy calculator) If it did cost shipping $1 billion when water flows were over 10.4K (as claimed by you from your article) at $3-4M per day then there had to be a minimum of 250 days in which water flow was over that mark. (divide 1B by 4M) I'd like to see your fantasy calendar showing that many days at or over that outflow. It would be a very imaginative design and worth publishing.

Just another example of your reading what nots there. READ the first sentence of your copied article. "Canadian & U.S economies..."
