you think you know . Once again DNR has stated over and over that the 28 inch and bigger (older females) have done their job of helping the population . The older they are the less fertile their eggs are with lower hatch rates . The 20-25 inch fish are the prime spawners so keep taking those out of the system and see what happens .
At my age . I have seen Erie at her best and worst through the days . Erie is far far from being fished out like some people believe . Mother nature has more control then any of us fishermen or DNR has . She controls the spawn weather good or bad .
