For god’s sake you all need to drop the Striper talk. It is a warm water species that maybe would run the Niagara but nowhere else. We have the greatest king fishery in the world in our back yard and people want to talk Atlantics and Stripers…..🤔. I don’t get it.
As long as Lake Ontario is heavy with alewives, thiaminase will limit Atlantic reproduction to near zero. Reduce king stocking increases alewives. You want more Atlantics? Stock more kings.
From now until 8/14, EVERYONE on this board needs to comment on the DEC site. Reviewing the document, however, It looks like Atlantic stocking will be the same as it has been.
My plan B exactly. I am just trying the easy route first lol. I can get the tape from Mad River tackle. I usually shelve paint jobs for a year because of the smell they give off -especially the automotive paints. I would like to replace the one I lost this year if possible and it appears they are not making this pattern anymore.
The Canadian shore rolled cold mid-week. Cold water pushed across. I had 56 degrees only 58’ down in the mid waters. If you look at what happened to the Niagara plume from Saturday to today, you realize the lake currents were tearing stable water apart. Water on the move, fish on the move. There is a good reason why you see LOC kings entered in ports further East. At this point predicting tomorrow is impossible but hopefully light winds and the power of the Niagara stabilize things. Pic 1 is from today. Pic 2 was from yesterday
Probably a true account of occasional kings in the river. We get steelhead, browns and lake trout that slide down from Lake Erie into the upper Niagara every winter thru March
Nice outing! So watermelon is back? Going to have to dust some of those off and put them to use again. I wonder if Hammer Flies will be working again? What is old is new again!
