[Instigator]

Spring is almost here!  With that brings the LOTSA Pen Rearing events.  This years Pen assembly day is Saturday, April 1^st.  We will be meeting at the Town of Newfane Marina at 9:30am to begin assembling the net/pens.  Refreshments will be provided from East Side Market in Olcott.

Good news, we will be getting about 13,000 more Chinook salmon which takes the total to 126,000 Chinook and 15,000 Steelhead.

Come out and see old friends or make new friends and support this fishery that we all love.  Please remember to dress warm and bring side cutters to trim zip ties.

LOTSA places a heavy emphasis on Education including recruiting new Anglers to the Lake Ontario Fishery and providing continual Education opportunities for the experienced Anglers.  If you haven’t renewed your membership this would be a great time to do that.  At only $10 membership fee this is a great way to support the local fishery and learn from some of the most experienced fishermen and women on Lake Ontario.   We will have membership sheets available.

Pen Rearing Update

Today we were notified that our fish in Olcott will be delivered next Tuesday, April 4^th at 1:30pm.  Once the fish are in the pens, we need to move the pens to their regular docks upstream of the boat launch.  We were able to secure a second boat (Thank you Andrew) to work with Captain Vince making the move easier.  We will need 10 or 12 people to help with this evolution so if you have some time Tuesday afternoon, please come out and lend a hand.

 

Remember that Penn Assembly Day is this Saturday, April 1^st at 9:30am at The Town of Newfane Marina.  The pens will be placed in the water after assembly, so stick around and help with that if you can.  Please dress according to the weather and bring your side cutters.  Hot coffee, tea and hot chocolate will be provided as well as packaged pastries.
