Muskies Inc. New York Chapter 69 July Meeting

[muskiedreams]

Last year we didn't have any meetings between May and Sept. For this year we decided that it was too long of an interval between meetings so we added one on July 18th, which is next Monday at 7pm at the Moose Lodge in Henrietta NY.

 

Our guest speaker will be John Jarosz who is the Conservation Director for  the Niagara Musky Association. Over the winter The NMA managed a major project to install four large fish attraction structures on the Upper Niagara River and John headded up the project. These structures each involved placing either large rocks in piles or boulder fields with boulders the size of a small car in strategically selected locations to help provide places where fish of all species could find protection and slack current to hold up in. John will be giving us a power point presentation on the project encompassing everything from the funding and planning, through implementation to completion and locations. The next project he has already started working on is a radio tagging study working with the DEC that will involve implanting transmitters in approximately 20 muskies in the Buffalo Harbor and installing 6 receivers in strategic locations around the harbor.

 

John is a great guy and very passionate and conservation minded. He is always very interested in anything to do with improving musky fisheries and the understanding thereof. He also has been working hard at learning the art of catching muskies on the fly.

 

As always, our meeting are open to anyone who is interested in attending.
