Infos from Capt. Mick Maynard:
DON'T MISS THIS EVENT!

RESTORING ATLANTIC SALMON IN LAKE CHAMPLAIN

THURSDAY 7 MARCH 6:30 PM LCBP HQS SOUTH HERO VT

Don't miss this exciting evening at the Lake Champlain Basin Program's Headquarters on South Hero,VT, as Andrew Milliken from the US Fish and Wildlife's Essex Junction office tells the story of restoring Atlantic salmon to Lake Champlain. If you fish for the Queen of Sportsfish, or even think about it, this is an opportunity to hear from those who have been instrumental in making your chance to pursue Atlantics come true! The program will start at 6:30, and will be accompanied by the usual number of absolutely delicious treats from LCBP's Colleen Hickey.

New Yorkers take the Cumberland Head ferry, get off, and turn left immediately. It's the big stone building to your right. See you there!

It was a presentation that stayed at a pretty high level. They are working with aminos in the water to try to pattern returns and lamprey control is important. There were fewer than 50 fish over the Winooski Dam this year, in part attributed to low flows. Boquet dam removal has been a success. They are grateful for the survey work that anglers have done. Thorny got a public shout out!
