Breathing new life into Don River May 8th, 2009 Christopher Hume / The Toronto Star In its plans for a restored Lower Don Lands, Waterfront Toronto envisions a public promenade along the water. Like time, the Don flows slowly on Toronto’s waterfront. But plans revealed yesterday by Waterfront Toronto outline a large, multi-use community along the edges of a restored Don River and its mouth between Keating Channel and Lake Ontario. The concrete channel was completed in the 1920s, during an era when man’s job was to “improve” nature by obliterating it. Now, the task has shifted to restoration. In its new configuration, the Don will flow south before jogging to the west and the lake. A naturalized spillover will be built to direct flood waters into the Shipping Channel when that’s needed. The Keating will remain, but with more of the feel of a canal, hugged by a public promenade and new housing and mixed-use development. Keep in mind that Waterfront Toronto expects that this precinct – the Lower Don Lands – will eventually be home to 25,000 residents as well as thousands of workers and visitors. “We want to make the river front and centre,” explains Waterfront Toronto’s vice-president of development, Christopher Glaisek. “We hope to bring all the development processes together into one.” Therein lies the key to success; Glaisek’s task is to co-ordinate the efforts of dozens of agencies, each of which considers its needs paramount. To manage all this and pull off the high-quality public realm designers long for will be a Herculean task. New York-based landscape architect Michael Van Valkenburgh, whose firm has devoted nearly three years to the Toronto waterfront, calls it “ecological urbanism.” The idea is to assemble a “huge team of experts,” including some very sophisticated computer modellers, that can recreate nature as it might have existed. The other big move is to use infrastructural engineering – berms, flood water protection and the like – as the starting point for public realm improvements. The earthmoving now going on to flood-proof the west side of the Don, for example, will become the foundation of a new neighbourhood park. Rather than divide these projects into a series of smaller tasks, each assigned to an expert; the concept here is that each contributes to the larger whole. “We’ve learned a hell of a lot more about the technical systems,” says Toronto planner Ken Greenberg. “And we’ve taken a more integrated approach than I’ve ever seen before.” As Greenberg points out, the design team includes planners and landscape architects as well as hydrologists and biologists. This kind of all-encompassing approach is critical if waterfront revitalization is to avoid the fate of sameness. Underlying this is the corporation’s stated goal of carbon neutrality. Streets will be designed to allow maximum sunshine. There will also be solar panels, wind turbines and geothermal heating. But as Van Valkenburgh also notes, “We no longer have normal weather patterns; that means more extreme storm events in the future.” The team must anticipate and prepare for a Hurricane Hazel-type disaster of the sort that ripped through Toronto in 1954. Back then, vast areas of the lower city were buried under two metres of water. As much as anything, renaturalizing the mouth of the Don will be one of the most effective means of dealing with such a possibility. But nothing will happen overnight. Construction won’t start for at least two years, and will last another five. It will be a quarter of a century before anyone can move in. Patience is a virtue, of course, but in Toronto, it’s also a necessity.

Cities and Province Affirm Commitment to Restoring and Protecting the Great Lakes First-ever Great Lakes Summit held in Toronto News Release May 5, 2009 / www.ene.gov.on.ca May 5, 2009, Toronto – The Ontario Government and the mayors of municipalities around the Great Lakes have strengthened their commitment to coordinate efforts to restore, protect and promote the Great Lakes. Ontario mayors and provincial cabinet ministers met today for the first time to discuss shared interests and concerns about the Great Lakes and their watersheds at a summit meeting organized by the province and the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative. The Ontario mayors presented their recommendations and report, “At the Shoreline: A Mayors’ Collaborative Action Plan to protect the Great Lakes”, to the province today. “We have received a lot of excellent advice which will help us decide on future programs and policies for the Great Lakes,” said Environment Minister John Gerretsen. “As the mayors have recommended, we agree it is critical to understand the economic benefits of investments in the Great Lakes. We are committed to working with the mayors on an economic study.” Gerretsen also indicated that the proposed economic study would involve other partners and stakeholders, including non governmental organizations, other municipalities, Aboriginal communities and business and industry around the Great Lakes. The federal government will also be invited to participate. The provincial ministers agreed to work with the mayors on other areas of shared interest in their Great Lakes Action Plan, including enhancing and promoting beaches, wetlands and natural areas along the shorelines and considering the implications of climate change for stormwater and sewage discharges into the Great Lakes. "Great Lakes municipalities are collectively the largest financial contributor to Great Lakes protection, with Ontario municipalities investing over $2 billion a year. It is essential that the federal and provincial governments work with us to coordinate our efforts and investments," said Toronto Mayor David Miller. "As Great Lakes mayors we are calling on our federal and provincial partners to work with us to implement a joint protection plan for the Great Lakes. Together we can work to improve people's enjoyment of the Lakes and stimulate local economies in communities across Ontario." The province and the Cities Initiative signed a Memorandum of Cooperation last year that paved the way for today’s summit and to the municipalities providing input into implementation of the Canada Ontario Agreement Respecting the Great Lakes Basin Ecosystem (COA). It has resulted in a series of meetings between provincial and municipal staff members to discuss areas of common concern, leading up to the summit. As well, the Province is currently seeking input into its Great Lakes Priorities from a broad group of partners, stakeholders, non governmental organizations and Aboriginal communities. “The Great Lakes mayors’ recommendations complement the broader work that the province and our partners are doing to protect and restore Great Lakes ecosystem health,” said Natural Resources Minister Donna Cansfield. “We look forward to working with the municipalities on shared areas of interest in the urban environment.” At the meeting, mayors and ministers also considered how to bring federal, provincial and municipal leaders together to protect the Great Lakes. The importance of Canada-US cooperation on Great Lakes protection was also discussed. “Great Lakes Mayors recognize the importance of securing further support from our federal government in protecting these waters of national and global significance, said Thunder Bay Mayor Lynn Peterson, chair of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative, “Engaging federal governments on both sides of the border to strengthen bi-national cooperation and to involve mayors and local communities is vitally important.” Mayors and ministers also recognized the importance of attracting more people to the Great Lakes’ shorelines, to build support for Great Lakes investments and to promote local Great Lakes economies. “Having clean water in the Great Lakes is vital to urban and rural communities,” said Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Leona Dombrowsky. “As a shared resource, water is also a shared responsibility, which is why it is crucial for us to work together to protect it.” Contacts John Karapita, Minister’s Office, 416-314-6736 Kate Jordan, Ministry of the Environment, 416-314-6666 Contact information for the general public: 416-325-4000 or 1-800-565-4923/ www.ontario.ca/environment

Draft of St. Clair River Report Released for Public Comment May 7, 2009 / www.on.ec.gc.ca On May 1, 2009, the International Upper Great Lakes Study released the draft report Impacts on Upper Great Lakes Water Levels: St. Clair River for public comment. The report answers important questions posed by the International Joint Commission (IJC) regarding the St. Clair River system: Has the conveyance or water-carrying capacity of the St. Clair River changed and, if so, why? What effect could an altered flow have on water levels in the upper Great Lakes? What other factors (such as climate) may be affecting the change in water levels? What actions, if any, should be taken by governments to remedy concerns about low water levels? The Study Board will be providing in-depth briefings and receiving comments at 14 public meetings throughout the upper Great Lakes basin in May and June. The schedule for these public meeting can be found on the Study’s Web site. Written comments can also be provided via the Study’s Web site. After incorporating public comments and the results of additional research, the Study Board will finalize the report for transmission to the IJC in the fall of 2009. Funded equally by the U.S. and Canadian governments, the Study is being conducted by the bi-national, independent International Upper Great Lakes Study Board at the request of the IJC under the authority of the Boundary Waters Treaty. This draft report is the first output of the Study. This study will continue to examine whether the regulation plan for outflows from Lake Superior through the compensating works and power dams on the St. Marys River at Sault Ste. Marie might be improved to take into consideration changing interests and changing climate. The final report of the Study is expected early in 2012.

Lake Erie species given clean bill of health May 5, 2009 Will Elliott / buffalonews.com As a belated present, outdoors enthusiasts might consider taking mom fishing on Lake Erie. Expert fisheries professionals gathered at Armor Fire Hall in Hamburg on April 30 for an annual State of Lake Erie Meeting to offer updates and status reports on Erie’s popular fish species. Sponsored by New York State Assemblyman Jack Quinn, R-Hamburg, with coordination from New York Sea Grant and Southtowns Walleye Association, this meeting gives anglers and all others interested in how the fish are swimming some direction and insight on the lake’s layout. Helen Domske served as host and presenter, introducing Quinn, who, like many of the 110 in attendance, simply enjoyed being there. “This is fun,” Quinn said, “because I can just sit back with friends and find out what’s going on out there on our lake.” The first speaker, Don Einhouse, NYS Department of Environmental Conservation Lake Erie Unit leader, spends countless hours on the water and in data studies, and has spent more than 25 years looking at this lake. He began with a most candid and forthright observation: “Every year the state of this lake changes in some ways.” Economic concerns affect things all across the state, but Einhouse noted that all features of the Lake Erie Unit Base program are in place for the coming year. Projects include angler surveys, netting surveys, tagging studies, plankton sampling, and extensive reporting on all data gathered. While numbers of anglers have generally declined during the past two decades, Einhouse attributes that involvement more to social than to actual fishery facts. He cited increased successes in the three species that have made Erie a major fishing destination: yellow perch, walleye, and smallmouth bass. Angler surveys have begun and first reports have fair catches of big perch from waters east of Cattaraugus Creek. Increased water clarity and a slew of exotic invaders caused a decline in perch populations through the 1990s, but good hatches starting in 2000 have restored perch numbers throughout the lake’s eastern basin. Walleye, like perch populations, peaked just after a record hatch in 1984. More recently, the 2003 year class of ’eyes came close to the top production and survival rate of ’84. Actually, the ’03 class has already reached its max numbers; anglers in 2009 should expect to see fewer but bigger fish from that year’s class. Smallmouth bass have been the most stable in both spawning and catch rates. Einhouse noted an early-season bass program begun in 1994 has not negatively affected the bass fishery. “Most early-season anglers release the fish they catch and in the total season-long catch of 100,000 we’re seeing about 6,000 of those fish caught,” he said. Trout fishing has been spectacular on Lake Erie, he noted. Lake trout, though not a major fishery, has seen an increase with the introduction of a Klondike strain that has a large growth rate and better spawning capabilities in cold water. Also, sea lamprey, a major lake trout predator, has declined in numbers. Rainbow/steelhead trout have been great in New York State waters and ranks as the No. 1 fish anglers seek lake-wide. Einhouse answered a question about bait restrictions with the comment, “The 2008 incidents of Viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS) were low, but we have much to be learned about VHS.” He concluded with reference to the number of upwellings or rapid water-temperature changes seen recently in Erie’s New York State waters. Sudden changes, sometimes just three degrees, can be injurious or fatal to some fish species. In total, all warm-and cold-water fish species Lake Erie has to offer received Einhouse’s good to great ratings. For detailed studies of the lake’s fish species, he suggests going to glfc.org. Senior aquatic biologist Mike Wilkinson keyed on the one popular game-fish species that has suffered in recent years, muskellunge. Until about 15 years ago, Buffalo Harbor and the upper Niagara River had been sources for many a 50- inch trophy catch of muskie. Wilkinson reported that recent years have seen numbers reduced in the harbor and the upper river, with the remaining larger fish foraging in open waters of Lake Erie. Young-of-the-year (y-o-y) muskies have been rare in the harbor, but nursery sites in the river have produced y-o-y that reach 9-10 inches by September, he noted. Wilkinson cited Kevin Kapusinski, a graduate student doing his doctoral studies on St. Lawrence fish, which will include habitat and dietary studies of area muskellunge. Dr. William Edwards of Niagara University reported on the “Dead Zone” phenomenon often seen in the central basin of Lake Erie. Algae formations and oxygen depletion may be a problem more critical at the central and western areas of the lake. Domske finished discussions with an announcement that all the electrical barriers against Asian carp have been installed to prevent this exotic species from invading. Domske also noted that Lake Erie is home to lake sturgeon, an exotic-looking resident species that has been around since prehistoric times and is being observed more often in recent years. She asked anglers who happen to see these protected fish to report their location and other data to the New York Sea Grant/U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service Lower Great Lakes office at 691-5456.

Follow the Fish: Purple lures walleye Spotty take blamed on temperatures, wind May 08, 2009 Steve Pollick / toledoblade.com It was a fun to see walleye being caught on western Lake Erie this week with both the jig-and-minnow rigs of early spring and the hybrid mayfly/night crawler rigs of summer. It's transition time. What wasn't fun, for most of us out there it seems, was not catching enough fish. Our four-man crew Tuesday, including Dan Tucker, Jerry "Meatpole" Meyers, and Steve Hathaway, hooked just seven fish. The "fish," by the way, mean walleyes and not the many sheepshead, white bass, white perch and such we also landed in seven hours of picking on the many inshore reefs off Davis-Besse. Whatever you do, though, purple is a great color in both jigs and in the hybrid worm-harnesses, or "Weapons." Over at Jeff Shatto's fishing-cleaning station next to Wild Wings Marina, the customer boxes ranged from sparse to a couple, from charters, that were pretty full. If you call such results spotty, you will be calling them the way everyone else does. "Thirty-one years in the business, this was the worst April," said Shatto. But he waxes philosophical: "It's all Mother Nature. The fish are there." The Ohio Division of Wildlife's Jeff Tyson agrees. As supervisor of the division's Lake Erie Fisheries Research Station at Sandusky, he hears more than his share of angler whining about the catching. But he cannot control the wind and weather, which has led to abnormally prolonged cool water temperatures and heavily muddied near-shore waters. "East wind," Tyson summed about the spring's weather. That has kept pushing cooler central basin water to the west, and strong wind churns it all up. As for the slow action so far, Tyson simply and rightly notes, "I can't make them go." Based on the nearshore marine forecast the water temperature is just 55 at Toledo and 50 at Cleveland. John Jokinen at Jann's Netcraft said trollers are having decent results by pulling worm-harness/spinner combinations with night crawlers along the Canadian line from north of North Bass Island to Gull Island Shoal. No. 5 and No. 6 Colorado or No. 5 Indiana blades have worked best on the in-line spinners, he added. Dan Baker at Butch and Denny's Bait on Corduroy Road said that some of the charters have done well with seven-man limits in the 100-plus-pound range, fishing in as little as eight feet of water off Turtle Island in Maumee Bay. But overall results in the bay have been like elsewhere, spotty. The good thing about it all, fishermen are not giving up. Tuesday perhaps 80 to 100 boats could be seen in the near-shore reef complex, for example. Great for midweek nowayears. Lake-watchers know that the fishing community cannot keep mining what's left of the 2003 mega-class of walleyes forever, and that the fishery needs a good hatch and soon. The lake's standing stock of walleye is down to 18 million, a small number. Still, it is capable of producing a bumper crop if the weather cooperates, just as in 2003, when a small stock produced Gargantua. Tyson noted if the stock were to fall to 15 million walleye or less, fisheries managers around the lake would switch into crisis mode rather than the current rehabilitation mode. Rehab means continuing conservatively with setting of catch-quotas, which mainly affect commercial netters and not sport anglers. For Ohio waters, walleye netting is banned and hook-and-liners rarely come close to catching even reduced quotas of walleye. As for this spring's hatch, Tyson simply notes, "till we get a net on them, it's hard to tell." That will not happen till mid to late summer, when young-of-year show up in test trawls.

"Genius, pure genius!" Wile E. Coyote

Bingo! It's not rays your trying to catch.

Odd, I was certain you'd be fishing deeper.

I have a Calcutta TE, 200DC, very sweet reel. But my Quantum Energy PT's get more use and are far more affordable, definitely worth looking at.

I've never had mine in d'nile but it has been in d'notty, d'geen, d'sauble, d'sydenham, d'beaver, d'bighead, d'credit, d'bronte and many other rivers in the last 28 years and other than the occasional rinse it's never failed me. The sealed bearings are as good as the day I bought the reel.

Yesterday it was Solo's report with coffee and today it was yours. I could be happy starting all my mornings like this. A very enjoyable read, thank you.

Well I was refering to "whities" but hell BC sturgeon sounds like a "reel" blast, have fun with that man. Those other whities will still be there when you get back.

You guys are killing me....

Enjoy Lew, enjoy. I'll see you in June my friend.

That's the kind of busy anyone could be happy with. I guess you'll soon be throwing whities into the mix.

Absolutely wonderful report guys, a pleasure to read over with my morning coffee. I'd say by the many positive reviews that everyone is in agreement. I did get a good chuckle out this statement from Mike, *still laughing* It's not a bad thing Bill it just reminded me of myself.

Grand River group wins national fishery award A group that has been working for 10 years to improve the Grand River fishery has received national recognition for its success. The Grand River Fisheries Management Plan Implementation Committee has been selected by the federal Minister of Fisheries and Oceans to receive the Recreational Fisheries Award. Representatives of the committee will receive the award at a ceremony in Ottawa on May 4. Learn more about the Grand River Fisheries Management Plan. Federal Fisheries Minister Gail Shea told the committee that it was selected for the award because of its “volunteer efforts to improve the fishery and fish habitat in the Grand River watershed.” "The committee’s work has resulted in increased quality and awareness of the fisheries on the Grand River and its tributaries," Shea wrote in a letter to committee members. The award recognizes individuals and organizations for their contribution to the conservation, restoration and enhancement of Canada’s recreational fisheries and their habitat. Donna Cansfield, Minister of Natural Resources for Ontario, also commended the group. "The Grand is today a thriving river with a healthy future thanks to the vision and determination of the many organizations and volunteers who have made the Grand River Fisheries Management Plan such a success," said Cansfield. "We applaud their hard work and dedication to restoring and protecting the natural values and biodiversity of the Grand River watershed," she added. Larry Mellors of Brantford, a long-time member of the committee, said the group is honoured to receive the award. "The GRFMP is the volunteer’s and public’s plan with tremendous technical support from the GRCA, Ministry of Natural Resources and other government and academic bodies. This plan has been applauded and held up as a shining success by many organizations across Canada," said Mellors. The Grand River group was founded in the 1990s to develop a plan to improve the Grand River fishery and then to implement the plan. The plan was completed in 1998 and contained a list of “best bets” – projects that would enhance the fishery by improving habitat and raising water quality. The management plan was prepared by the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Grand River Conservation Authority with the input and assistance of more than a dozen different partners and associations including: Brantford Steelheaders, Caledonia Bait and Tackle, Dunnville District Hunters and Anglers, Friends of the Grand River, Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, Ontario Steelheaders, Ontario Streams, Six Nations (Wildlife Management), Trout Unlimited Canada, Izaak Walton Fly Fishing Club, University of Waterloo and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Since then, the group has been involved in dozens of projects such as stream rehabilitation, management of fish ladders, collecting water quality data and conducting research on aquatic species and their habitats. Access points have been constructed and information signs have been put in place to help make the Grand system easier to fish. Some sections of the Grand, particularly the reach between the Shand Dam (near Fergus) and West Montrose, as well as the section between Paris and Brantford, have received national and international recognition for the quality of the fishing. The strength of the Grand River Fisheries Management Plan is that it provides a balanced approach, relying on dedicated volunteers with their community ties and grass roots knowledge along with technical expertise of the GRCA and MNR. The plan provides guidance on managing the fish resources and overall environmental health of the Grand River watershed.

Ah yes, good ole night time angling. A great opportunity for Carole to turn the flash off when photographing Cliff.

Lord knows I've never fished there but this picture is incredibly familiar. Likely seen it in an issue of OOD at some time. Great looking water !
