Lake Erie Water Level at record height
Traveling Circus replied to jimski2's topic in Open Lake Discussion
The Catt was raging mud yesterday...… filled with water from the storms of Friday. -
Observation using panoptix
Traveling Circus replied to chinook266's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
Wondering if you could see the fish on "traditional" sonar, or only on the panoptix when they were investigating the cannonballs? Also, did shortening the leads trigger the fish? -

2020 walleye season nears...what's new?

Montana and Ohio are putting requirements in place that effectively stop travel to their states for Hunting and Fishing "recreational" activities. Spring bear hunting in Montana, and the walleye runs in the western basin rivers of Lake Erie are substantial revenue generators for those states, so I'm sure it was not an easy decision. The regs require a 14 day self quarantine after travel to those states, prior to hunting or fishing. I've applied for a Montana elk/deer combo tag for use in the fall, sure hope this is over by then...……….. Either way, I support this type of restriction, and think it encourages good decisions by travelers. My youngest daughter works in the ER at Strong. I worry about her health and safety relentlessly. Whatever can be done by the general public to minimize the impact on our health care providers is in my mind the right thing to do...… but I'm biased.

From wiki....... on H1N1 The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that from April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010, there were 60.8 million cases, 274,000 hospitalizations, and 12,469 deaths (0.02% case fatality rate) in the United States due to the virus.[117] From ABS News on Covid19 In the U.S., more than 55,000 people have been diagnosed and at least 796 people have died. It might not be apples to apples, and you might argue the source quality, but based on these statistics the Covid19 mortality rate is 75 times as deadly....... perhaps that's why this particular virus is getting so much attention.

Regulation change to steelhead limit on Lake Ontario
Traveling Circus replied to reelxite's topic in Open Lake Discussion
Why did we go to 1 steelhead in the tribs then? Just asking............. I don't really think the proposed change will have much impact on fish or fishermen...... charter parties or private.... so meh, I'm OK with the change. In my opinion, what the DEC and us(lake or trib fishemen) should focus on is properly releasing fish. It's been decades since I've gone out on the lake to punch a ticket of salmon and trout. For me, and many private fishermen I know, this game is all about sportfishing for fun. I've spent up to 30 minutes with offshore steelhead over the gunnel, trying to revive them, and in the summer surface temps it doesn't work. The methods that should work will take time and pre-planning. I'd love to see some information (DEC or other) and mortality rates on how to release deep water fish in warm surface waters. -
Not to mention decimating pen reared fish when released into the creeks......... It would be beneficial to see the release process and pens modified/redesigned to allows for an easier release of fish in open water. What happened in Sandy this spring will effect the return of those penned fish at maturity. It would also be nice to have a "season" on cormorants.............
