Was this directed towards Me?
I've been a part if PUSHING this industry in Southern Ontario for close to 10 years...
We've done numerous shows on them over the years with the few shows i was associated with, and helped to bring products in the country to help folks get interested in these fish, to help control the population Art.
THe less interest people have in them, the worse off we are.
BTW, if you liek eating fish, eat a carp... Its like Halibut (If you leave it in clean water for a few hours.
FYI, Zebra mussels have done leaps and bounds worse for the Walleye than carp, or suckers ever could...
All in the last 10-15 years...
Pottsy is 100% right, my buddy lost his pond too in this
The Koi place you are talking about is still open though, unless its different than the one Im thinking of (Vandermeer Nurseries?)
They are still open though... 1
Yep.
I used to live in Sarnia Ontario for 26 years. I remembered as a child catching 25lb+ Salmon.
In the last 15 years the fishing has gone to hell in Lake Huron/St Clair River. The zebra muscles,carp "you guys are nasty for eating those, especially out of our great lakes
"
But on topic to this.
I remember for a few times every year, you would see 1000's of dead shad and the odd sucker all washed up on the shores. This happened for a good 4 years.
I used to also work for the fisheries there and you should have seem the 1000's of suckers that would be caught in the nets.
Yes. These fish and zebra muscles have indeed, ruined the fishing by a extremely huge margin in Lake Huron.
The good old day's of fishing down there was amazing as I remembered it. And this all wasn't "THAT" long ago either
But!! the fishing here where I live now is better then anything I have fished in my life
:On a side note, I do believe the mnr has something to do with it, that or it could be those chemtrails :S or the many other chemicals that have been spilled by refineries etc. Who knows. I am sure man is to blame.
Edit to add: Also the water level in Lake Huron, dont know about the other great lakes, but in Huron it has fallen at least 4 feet since the 90's.
I know this because back then the water came up to almost the top of the rails going down the walk way where the St Clair river is, now if you go there, there are rocks out of the water.
It's the Americans stealing our water.
