FBD, I Totaly agree with with you. The stocking cuts were necessary but zero plants out of the Holland area are a bit extreme. Fishing out of this area is going to be really bad over the next few years. ( I really hope that I am wrong)
I know that nobody wants to hear this, but it's the truth. Alewife population is up but the DNR will take at least 4 years to increase the salmon stocking. Fishing will be tough for several years!
Holland received 0 Salmon for 2017 and will receive the same for following years until the DNR decides otherwise. King fishing is going to get really tough in Holland for the next few years.
We just recently took a trip to Whitehall and found three nets just North of the pier heads.
1st was about 1-1/2 miles north
2nd 2 miles north
3rd 3miles north
All inside staffs were in about a 100 fow.
I have 2 of these marked on my graph but do not have access to it now.
If you have anymore info I would appreciate it.
Thanks
