the purpose of the boom is so people do not get washed over the dam if they capsize their boat on the water . if they do the boom is suppose to lead them to show so they do not have to fight the current )act like a weir and help you go in a certain direction at least that is what i was told when it was being installed

159 fish now over the ladder and through the counter

lol there were only 2 guys working and if i saw that i would be driving over and asking why only two guys out of 14 working .. with that said only 4 were mnr the rest were volunteers and it was a bi yearly fall arrest course for saftey. and you may be correct but once the navagation act goes through it will need to be removed as it will not be needed ??? next time you are in the area stop by, have a good one

its not meant to be straight it is to be on a angle to lead people to shore, who may get stuck on said boom .. and i am just saying what the mnr engineer said. i have been on that river for all my life and there has never been a boom there, once they identify a problem they must make it correct

There is already foot steps on the boom at the exit of the ladder

There is to be no bow in the boom it is to lead people to the shore not stuck in middle the only reason I know is the mnr engineer was scratching his head and explained how it was to go. And I know alot because I ask question there is no law on questions lol

counter is now it it was in yesterday late in the day .. we now have 67 fish through the counter as of midnight last night... the water temperature is 0c as of 10 am . would have been nice if the GRCA put the boom across river the right way..

buddy on the right was casting way above the bridge when the warden took his buddies away to give them a ticket and every cast he looked over his shoulder to see if warden was looking and casted as far upstream as he could..ti told him what the F are you doing you will get one to .. he then threatened me and told me to keep my fing mouth shut .. i said now cupcake dont let the walk over here stop you from coming over here. some people are just plain dicks.... from talking to a guy on the river that knows this group also says they do fish walley quite a bit if you know what i mean so keep a eye out for truck and guys

They were warned 5 minutes before the CO showed up. Their response was "who cares". My day was made when they walked by me on their way to the officers truck , " I guess we should have listened to you" . their fine was 180 each plus victims surcharge. When the officer was finished he came over to me and said I don't get em all but when I do it is costly. He also informed me that he just came from court where he got 2 individuals last year netting below the dam for salmon , each one got 2000 for netting in a sanctuary and 500 dollars for not having a license . hopefully this is just the beginning ..

yup issues with the ladder the ladder is open but NO counter in ..

YUP come to the cleaning station on a week end and see the carcussus pile up... i posted before from friday till saturday at noon .. 2100 kg of carcasses at the cleaning station to the dump

Thanks kemper you are 100 percent correct

in 2011 there was some questions on how the numbers of the trout run went from 6313 on the counter to the mnr number of 9058 . Some of you may remember a disagreement at a public meeting on how the mnr came to these numbers .Well last year there was a big metal screen put in so no fish could get through last spring 2012 and we counted 7250 and the mnr came up with 8525. I have no idea how they came up with these numbers as they did not know there was a screen in-place to stop the fish (there was not fish at the ladder until after the counter went in ) . I still have not been able to get the "formula" for there fish count . So that is approximately a 15 percent difference last year ????

60 to 70 percent of the salmon in the ganny are natural... and my comment about making money is the mnr opens seasons up to promote fishing for them to make money

bigugly only town where you can come and park free for the day. not spend a single dime in the town and leave garbage in the can or where ever you want . both towns are not unfriendly to fishermen...only slob fishermen....and just maybe if you feel they are unfriendly to you maybe you are the latter of the two types we want in our town

Because by doing so it stimulates more people to fish and buy licences . A lot of these people would not fish for salmon in fall if they could not keep roe or fish .

I do not know if it is members only

Port hope sorry at the grca building

This weekend the ofah zone e is having a meeting and Andy todd the manager of the lomu will be giving a talk and answering some questions on the health of Lake Ontario. March 24 10am

Craig I think you need to re read the fish and game act the problem is people have read it and there interpretation of the law is that the fish are not edible therefor you can alow it to spoil. I will not get into the debate but it has been confirmed that they are not edible as the moe has a book out and clearly states a salmon over a certain size is not edible for human consumption. I personally do not agree with this but have been told there is little to be done other than charge them for depositing part of a fish on private property

yes they are wrong to think banning roe will stop the stench , and yes they know the life cycle of the salmon. what most dont understand it is guys that realease the salmon in 2 inches of water and walk away and leave it there to die or people gutting salmon on the banks taking eggs and leaving carcuss to spoil. the only way to stop it is to do a bylaw to stop the gutting of fish on the river bank and make the fine high two or three people charged the word gets out quick

I've done a bit 34 years at the fish way , been on ther river more thi year helping guys who are just starting like this am guy caught his first rainbow with a fly my son tied and gave him and we adjusted his float and showed him how to use a fly under a float it was a. Big smile on his face

2100 kg from Friday am to Saturday at noon of fish carcusus to the dump in fall salmon run they are tring to put bylaw in place so only place to clean fish is either at your own home or at the FREE fish cleaning station and it will remain FREE they would rather pay the cost to take to dump then to pay cost to clean carcusus and fish guts from the stream ,as well is to stop the smell

Liverealese I know. From what I have been told there were 3 phone calls to mnr tips Line about people fishing above bridge and keeping fish none of those tips have had follow ups by mnr. Same guy called about a walleye taken out of season he had a call back in less than 24 hours, same WMu same officer covers those areas so it shows where their priorities lie

When they implement the municiple fishing licence that's a whole new bucket of fish. It's on there radar and 100percent enforcible
