Lake Simcoes white fish future looks good

[misfish]

Caught 8 of these guys this morning. Marked them alllll morning. Did not manage to get a keeper, but Im liking the signs of a good future for them.

Nice, good to see they are making little ones.

I like the fact that there are naturals coming back. I really think the way the water management has been the last few years, it is helping not only the spawning areas of the white fish, but also the natural reproduction of the lakers. They were draining the lake way to late IMO. The lakers would come in to spawn on the rocks in October, then the lake level would drop. Leaving the eggs to lay on dried up rocks. Now they drop the level in September, giving the spawn a chance.

How was the ice today Bud? Too much snow? Is it too hard of a walk?

Might go tomorrow...

Heard the perch eat a lot of laker and whitefish spawn.
