That is great news. Just please, please make sure you copyright that info so it won't end up in some fly fishing magazine. Because then these sportsman will descent on above mentioned creek and empty it out in no time.

Neither braid nor fluorocarbon has any stretch at all. You must take that into consideration

Putting them in the streams and the lake without proper preparation will not make them come back If we want them to succeed we need to try and convince landowners along the creeks to plant shade giving and erosion preventing trees. Also there need to be projects to remove sediment from creek bottoms and weirs to create fast currents that make deep holes. These weirs should be accessible to equipment that can remove sediment. Once there are deep cool holes in the creeks the atlantics stand a chance to survive . There also is the issue of the Oswego River which for some reason unbeknownst to me has dams in it that make it impossible for fish to migrate. If fish could freely migrate between Fingerlakes and Lake Ontario, the atlantics would probably do a lot better.

Ready for some Laurel and Hardy slapstick

So on walleye you are strictly catch&filet instead of catch&release

I remember seeing pictures a few years ago of ice damming in the Niagara River that actually had ice having been pushed onto shore 5 or 6 feet high. I have always been under the impression that towards the end of winter strong western winds could brake up the ice on Lake Eerie and push it into the river with massive force and on its way into the river causing blockages and all sorts of uncontrollable events. and that that was the reason for the boom. The video seems to suggest that ice passing through the river is very gradual and non eventful.

Sorry, but this sounds very much like opinion and without facts to support it. Please do share some factual evidence if you want to convince me of your claim

Funny, I always feel bad when I get a small fish and I waste no time returning it, specially in spring when the water is still cold throughout and the fish is caught fairly high up. I use light rubber bands with my rods loaded as much as I can to still set the hooks to prevent small fish from becoming hitch hikers.

I find that rods that are over 8 foot length, become cumbersome to use on a boat they get caught in all sorts of things. So my suggestion would be to stick with 8 foot ugly stick rods.

Thank you.

Thanks for the heads up. Do you have his phone# so I can contact him?

I' seriously thinking about joining you there

Pumping it around only moves the problem around If as I presume, it is sand, I would do as the Dutch do all the time. They would pump it to low places on land. Every day when it is dry enough, push it up into a pile until there is a very big pile of sand/fill. Truck it away and put it to good use. The dutch have at least a thousand years of successful dealing with water,muck, sand,wind and waves. so we might just as well use their tricks.

Besides, the state can offer those who were fired at least temporary jobs to do the work. The problem here is that the wheels of bureaucracy turn slowly. I am not sure that there is a Canadian firm involved. These Canadians are quite possibly full time employees of the Canadian government. Maybe using the Canadian manpower and equipment is the most economical way to go.

That is amazing. You are lucky to have seen it and on your kicker. It could have done some serious damage

The problem with that is that gobies are warmish water bottom feeders (At least during the summer). The kings and most trout(except browns) like it cold and they feed around the thermocline. Do you have any suggestions as in how to get enough gobie supply for your idea ?
