solopaddler Posted May 1, 2007 Report Posted May 1, 2007 Excellent, excellent report Bill! I used to fish Whitemans years ago, it's nice to see that it hasn't changed too much.
Fang Posted May 1, 2007 Report Posted May 1, 2007 (edited) Hey Bill, beauty looking river, Has been on my to do list for a while. maybe one day. The lamprey is most likely an American brook lamprey and the life cycle of the sea lamprey we all hate does not have any presence past 1" in freshwater rivers. I have seen these for years on the upper credit and took photos to an MNR office to make sure. These are harmless filter feeders that actually help to keep the gravel beds clean.

huntervasili Posted May 1, 2007 Author Report Posted May 1, 2007 Thanks all... It is alot of fun fishing with a 3wt and 1.8 lb tippet lol I am glad to know that those lampreys are harmless and not the sea lamprey... I never realized it was harmless... they were cool looking though and look like a bass worm/plastic of some sort.
