Today the mnr and lomu announced it will not collect data from the fish-ladder in port hope this year. After over 30 years of collecting data and using the Ganaraska river as a base for all other rivers in ontario, they said they may do it every other year, which concerns me as it will take a additional 6 months after data is collected making it a total over 2.5 years min to detect a problem with the rainbow runs. they basically told us they had other priorities, as the river had been stable in the last 10 years, but all it takes is one thing to effect the runs . i talked to a person after the meeting and they said it was a RISK FACTOR assessment, basically the lined up all there budget needs and what ever one had the less risk not necessary any risk just the least chance of something happening. this is no way to run a wildlife management like the rainbow runs of ontario

thanks guys

this fish was caught in the ganaraska river .. we used to have pink salmon runs years ago... but not in the last 15-20 years... trying to get guy to send a bigger file of fish.. i was not there and am pissed was not.. . might be able to post a bigger picture of fish

i was not there when my son caught this but it has a head like a pink.... but too big to be one .... what do you guys think

Well i would like to inform you his name (internet name) it is CATCH&RELEASE his is a member of the board here... he sent me a pm with his real name and where he is from ... great to see that we have a guy like that on this board... thank you ...

leechman... here is a picture so you dont think i am nuts lol

yes when i seen it stretched for hundreds of yards on both sides of trees i would have said the same thing

leechman next year about 2 weeks before harvest .. put tinfoil on the lawn under neath tree it reflects the light and turns the bottom of the apples red.... makes a nice looking apple

just came back from my friends orchard.. they informed me that the apple crop is based on the fall .. the buds for next years crops are already set and on your tree.when picking apples be sure not to injure the bud beside it . when the prune in the dead of winter they or summer pruning .. growing apples is simply not putting a seed in the ground and walking away

Hey Roy dont stand to close to the river in port hope this year speically during fire works. lol ..

This guy is from kingston ... police had a chat with him today after i watched him for over 4 hours doing what he does....... i will not say here ... as i probably being called to court... he was in a public place when i took this photo

ron he runs in the door and runs out ... he was on the river by 3 yesterday.. till 830 no dinner straight home to bed.... looks like at this rate with him not eating i will have to drop your suport payments....NOPE hooks and sinkers are expensive ... im raising it

today i was down at the ganny and the salmon are in big time ... there was over a hundred fish caught all but 5 released it was amazing to see the ediquit of the guys and helping guys out . one guy even picked a bag of garbage and when i asked him why he responded its cheap labour for free fishing ... i actually left the river smiling for a change .... thanks guys..

@ ctranter... sorry miss understood... thanks for the info

@ctranter.. it was a chain pickerel that was caught...3 lbs the commercial fishermen have been catching a few as well.. The chain pickerel, Esox niger (syn. Esox reticulatus), is a species of freshwater fish in the pike family (family Esocidae) of order Esociformes. The chain pickerel as well as the trout pickerel and the grass pickerel belong to the Esox genus of pikes.[1The chain pickerel has a distinctive dark chain-like pattern on its greenish sides. Its body outline resembles that of the northern pike. May reach up to 30 inches only on rare occasions. The opercles and cheeks of the fish are entirely scaled.[1] The average size for chain pickerel, however, is 24 inches and 3 pounds. (The average chain pickerel caught by fishermen is under 2 pounds). The world record is 9 pounds, 6 ounces.]

just heard today that there was a chain pickerl caught off of wopus (sp ) island today .. another invasive fish coming our way

it is not illeagle to throw in river under the MNR they have forwarded me off to the MOE and have talked at length with enforcement officer waiting to here back from him now ....sept 7 just got a call back from the mnr apparently it is illeagle to do if the carcass ever washes ashore you can be charged....

natural reproduction of salmon mean destroyed reds for rainbows and eaten little ones in the spring... we should never every allowed them to be stocked in the ganaraska river

come to the ****** river and wipe them all out . i hope not one of them gets to the spawning grounds.... there were lots of fish yesterday and today

well in that case RON he needs back to fishing stuff(not back to school) more hooks sinkers and some walleye fillets and some white fish and you will be caught up on child/stepfather support

oryx we are from a small town.. we live just north of port hope ward 2 in welcome

My son found a wallet with money in it and all of the id as well he carried it with him all morning fishing looking for the the guy who lost it all morning when I went down to take him something to eat he informed me that he found a wallet. I looked in it to find id but came across a comfort inn key card. i drove to the comfort in and inquired about card the guy had left(filming movie in port hope) but his boss was still there in another room. anyway to make a long story short all the money was still in it and the boss said only in a small town would that happen and good parenting .. any way i am proud once again of my son ..AND NO RON YOU CANT TAKE CREDIT FOR THIS

how did you make out today in court RON
