Concerns about fishing conditions.

[Dale R. Callihan]

Yes, I'm concern but alot of what we are seeing is the results of doing nothing in the past few years. The drifters were getting worried before the 2003 hatch, but that big hatch saved the day for ODNR. Now eight years we are in the same situation, looking bleak. It's time for a season and limit changes, doesn't have to be forever, a few years may do it or at least help.
Another thing that has bothered is the sewage treatment plants will release raw sewage into the lake usually when there has been heavy rains and we sure had alot this year, how much sewage was released. The farmers have gotten the blame for the water quality but this year they were not in the fields until recently.

There are plenty of fish out there to be caught. They are now just getting cranked up. Remember you have to be flexible so stop trying to catch fish with what is not working for you on any given day and try another method.Take a look at the most recent reports!
