Mussels and Their Impacts to the Great Lakes

[jacksonlaker]

I used to fish Lake Ontario alot back in the late 80s, early 90s. It was an incredible fishery back then. Kings would run on average 25 to 30 lbs. Now a good fish is a 22. A lot less food. The water is incredibly clear now. This also makes it more difficult for predator fish to forage. You know what is weird is the walleye fishing in the big O has gotten better, while salmon has gone down..I still have freinds that fish there but it is not even close to what is was. It really sucks !!
