April 2 Lake Ontario Salmon Symposium in Port Credit

[jimmay]

Posting this here for those who live close to the border or take advantage of the great fishing on the Canadian side. Attendance is free but advanced registration is required.

 

The Port Credit Salmon and Trout Association is pleased to announce that we're hosting our second Lake Ontario Salmon Symposium at the Waterside Inn in Port Credit on April 2nd.

The program has been developed in partnership with the Lake Ontario Management Unit, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry -- but we've been able to hold them to the principle that all the topics should improve catch rates for those who attend.

Here's a taste of the line-up:
- Randy Scott's 30 Year Angler Diary Revealed: Over 12,000 fish including 50 Chinooks over 35 pounds!
- Lake Ontario's Trophy Chinook Salmon Fishery: Prey Fish and Chinook Salmon Dynamics with Perspectives from Lake Huron and Michigan
- Tagged Trout and Salmon: Tracking Fish Movement in the Open Lake
- State of the Lake: A look back at 2015 and ahead to 2016
- Frank Krist: Chair, Michigan Department of Natural Resources Lake Huron Citizens Fishery Advisory Committee. Board Member, Hammond Bay Area Anglers Association
- Participating Speakers From: University of Windsor, United States Geological Survey, Great Lakes Fishery Commission, New York Department of Environmental Conservation and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry.
- Silent Auction
- BBQ social.

All proceeds will help fund the work of our local association, and beyond. We recognize that salmon cover a lot of water out in Lake Ontario. We intend to support good work that supports the big picture.   

Space is limited. Please Register at: http://bit.ly/OntarioSalmonSymposium
