Only thing good about them is that they’ll eat water fleas.

Apparently they've been in Oneida Lake for at least a few years. We were catching nice size perch there about 3 years ago and they were spitting up those red shrimp in the live well. We didn't know at the time that it was shrimp. We thought it was some kind of a grub or something. The walleye were spitting them up too.

They must have entered Oneida lake thru the canal system that comes out of Lake Ontario. And we're just hearing about it now?

Time to paint some small spoons red.

They'd have to be pretty small. The shrimp were only about a quarter inch long.

Maybee then some of the captains can now run fly fishing trips for steelies with shrimp imitations like the saltwater guys do for bonefish and tarpon.

You would need some reallly long poles to do it like those guys do though. Just trying to make something positive out of all this negative stuff we always hear. Mick
