i too had a wonderful year on this great lake erie. spent time with my son, son-in-law and friends. fishing for the most part was excellent whenever we got out. my only concern was the excessive algae build up. i have fished this lake for over 60 years and only recall once or twice when it was this bad. i haven't noticed any difference in abundance or taste of the fish. lets see if the new politicos will do something to address this. till next year God bless America.
