Chaumont & Sodus: look out for research buoys

[schreckstoff]

A heads up to anglers or hunters in Chaumont and Sodus Bay, there are a bunch of foam floats marking sunken transect lines and egg traps. If possible please avoid these areas.

 

 I added high flyer buoys so these areas are easier to see from a distance. Buoys are primarily around Middle Shoal in Chaumont and Newark Island in Sodus.

 

The traps sit on the lake bottom from now till ice up and help us figure out the spawning habitat quality for Lake Whitefish and Cisco. 
 

Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. 

Thank you,
