This is a quote from the Detroit Free Press

The DNA was detected in a channel that splits off the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal below Chicago, and leads to Lake Michigan, known as the Cal-Sag channel.

“That is what we understand,” said Jennifer Nalbone, director of Great Lakes United’s campaign against invasive species.

DNA testing of water samples near the electric barrier on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal taken beyond the barrier and Lake Michigan on Sept. 23 and Oct. 1 shows the presence of Asian carp about 1 mile south of the O’Brien Lock, about 8 miles from Lake Michigan, the Army Corps of Engineers and other agencies said today.

Previously, DNA of Asian carp has been found a mile below the barrier.

“This DNA evidence is the best we have, and we believe it’s very accurate. But what we have not done is to find an actual carp body in these areas where sampling is telling us their genetic material may be. We still have not seen an actual carp show up.”

I thought the West coast was closed salmon fishing this year. Or is that just certain states?

California only, Washington and Oregon have 4 seasons

I think I have every body beat- my first year was 1959 Kodiak alaska where I grew up until I moved to michigan. I just recently moved to longview wa right on the columbia river where some of the worlds best salmon and steelhead fishing is found. Oh by the way season starts in 2 weeks getting the boat ready

Purdy commercial fishing co. out of Sarnia Ontario reported that they have caught a 45# 3 meter long asian carp out of southern lake huron last week, and the Canadian fishery department comfirmed it. Thats all we need now with the way the lakes are.

4 of us fished saturday also and we did the same pattern . Killed them down by the first plug , all on harnesses color did'nt matter 4 man limit and it was alot of fun coming back in those 6'ers

Went out this am with 4 buddys out of Au gres but ended up going down to Standish and banged them with meat and inlines had a 4 man limit in just a little over 2 hrs. The walleye have moved south again, see the indians bought great lakes marina with plans of tearing down and putting in a new harbor for the big boats so they can gamble at the new casino

On June 23rd there will be a walleye tournament held by Macks Lure in Au Gres.
