emeralds

[joes spot]

i see that buffstate is doing a study on the emeraldshiner or the lack of (emeraldshiner.buffalostate.edu ) do you think that the orientals with the buckets full at foot of ferry have anything to do with the lack of minnows this year ? i think so /when i see 4/5 gal buckets full in the back of the car every time i went there has to make a difference

Emeralds down at Sheridan. Towards the outcharge pipe is a better. Bring a seine and get in the water for them .

I beleive it. This heavy NW wind must have pushed them back out. Every time the wind kicks up like this they get hard to find.

Has Anyone ever try getting emeralds under the bridge that goes over the Union ship canal ? A friend told me that's where he gets his. I have never tried it there, it might be worth a look/try.

There weren't many by the docks. They were all along shore from the jet ski dock all the way down to the discharge pipe. They heaviest concentration and bigger minnows were at the pipe. Nothing was passed the pipe so it was a temperature thing. There were zero minnows at Ontario launch. Lineman I've never tried for minnows at the ship canal, but we've gotten into the jack perch there before

Better off with the jack perch than the minnows anytime!

Steelhead fished at the Catt yesterday and the schools of emeralds in the catt were unreal....... absolutely unreal. I saw one area where they got trapped in a pool by receding water, and there were thousands dead in a 5' x 15' area...... never saw them like that before.
