I was actually out in my kayak until the wind picked up, but on the ponds rather than the lake. It looked great out there.

Somebody playing hooky lol? Nice morning, nice fish.

Awesome reporting, Pete. Thank you.

Nice pics! And Happy Birthday. I was torn yesterday between hitting the lake or Honeoye. Chose the later and didn't regret it

I hope there's resolution soon and not too many folks are impacted.

Disagree about The Fish Thief. IMHO, they did a great job. Many interviews with families that historically made a living fishing. I wasn't watching explicitly for anti-fishing sentiment, but usually that sort of thing would set off my radar pretty quickly. I mean, they even talked about how king salmon were the savior of the lake after the alewives got so bad they needed to use bulldozers to clean up the beaches. Anyway, I went in thinking it would be schlock and ended up really enjoying it. Everybody should watch it and figure out for themselves what they think!

x2! I think I'd mentioned at some point here or elsewhere that the lampricide belongs to a class of chemicals that was used as weight loss drugs in the last century - until folks started dying from heat exhaustion! Dinitrophenol uncouples your mitochondria and wastes energy in the form of heat. Makes them work harder, ergo the weight loss, but - just like non-shivering thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue - generates heat instead. Lovely. The things people do. At least they're used now to exploit a selective vulnerability in lamprey. Still toxic to other species at high enough doses though. Interestingly, these drugs are currently being applied at very low doses in therapeutic trials to combat Parkinson's disease, since they can elicit a mitochondrial stress response that helps prevent the consequences of a problematic quality control system. Cool, right?

All good points! I was of course just using hyperbole to illustrate the point that it's always easier to offload the burden on someone else's shoulders. We are all in this together. And I, like you, think that the national debt is one of the largest problems facing us. But I want to make sure before hack and slash cuts that we are actually making the problem better not worse. I think that one of the words in DOGE is "efficiency", but I'm not seeing it. There's a great article in NY Outdoor News regarding the recent cuts to the Park Service. I agreed with the final take that the intent is to limit services to the point where privatization becomes necessary. And there goes the neighborhood. Our National Park system is the envy of the world. It would be a shame to lose it.
