  1. Rudd don't eat eggs just the plants the fish lay their eggs on
  2. Do you think those rudd are trying to spawn too i wonder if pike prefer them over alewives at all
  3. It is actually possible that tiger was there to try to spawn from what i have heard the females can but the males cant so they would spawn with a pike and the young would revert back to pike
  4. Thx was the tiger the one in the photo
  5. According to surveys done while the pike population is still suffering they are also starting to find chain pickerel and was wondering if anybody has caught any in the river themselves or know anything more https://dec.ny.gov/sites/default/files/2025-02/lakeontarioannualreport.pdf (page 118) https://globalnews.ca/video/7007691/new-invasive-pickerel-caught-off-wolfe-island-in-kingston https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/ec7e/dd30fc6045255b57b9eaf1f2f8a66a8ce9e0.pdf (First One Documented in 2008)
  6. Something i dont hear talked about is the size of the alewives could that be an effect or cause of smaller fish
  7. Fair but any fish species that is reliant on natural reproduction is gonna hurt every time a big fish is no longer there to spawn
  8. Fish goes back Has a decent chance at spawning Genetics spread to offspring if they are successful
  9. Does anybody know why ny doesn't do slot limits?
  10. Thank you for the heads up unless the rain this week takes care of it
  11. I was wondering if recently anyone has been down to the Conesus inlet and had footage of the pike making it over the dam as i have only heard they were making it over this year but have no actual footage and is also quite a drive for me
  12. DEC has failed to put in slot limits i think some people also don't know about fish recovering from barotrauma and other factors where the fish don't make it I think people are less considerate or worried about the stocked fish species especially considering how focused on the trout salmon the dec tends to be
  13. Idea is to mix it in the hatchery food so eventually the fish will recognize it if one tries an occasional goby and they will start
  14. I dont think the hatchery has that much to do with it i think its either less abundant food or something driving them to spawn younger then they used too
