Depending on how old you are, you may have missed many highs and lows of the Great Lakes Salmon populations. From the fall of 1968 to about the early 1980's personal fishing success was more about your knowledge, equipment, water table, wind and the weather. After that started the long list of things out of our control. BKD, Water Flees, Zebra Mussels, Quaga Mussels and now VHS. If you haven't heard, some of those things have all but made the Salmon extinct on my home waters of Lake Huron. Luckily, Michigan's, Wisconsin's and Illinois DNR has started a (plant less) strategy On Lake Michigan to keep it's forage base from any more stresses and collapsing like they did over hear on Huron. Having people like yourself willing to ask and do something in their small capacity for the fishery, reminds me of the days when the Michigan Steelheaders were 40 thousand strong and used their voice to make things better. Will this new fix withstand the onslaught of the many new invasive's? Will we be able to stop these few ocean going vessels and have them start purging their bilge waters before entering our Great Lakes? Only time and good sense will tell.
