This will be a great opportunity to ask questions and for people to see the data they have to present. Since it's the first kind of summit of everyone with the salmon program it would be wonderful if this becomes an annual event. Thanks again Bill for your effort!

I’d like to give credit where credit is due to the 4 other members of the State of the Lake Fisheries Coordinating Committee, who have worked tirelessly to put this meeting together. LCU and TU members Bill Jacobus, Bill Rasch, Syl Stempel and Ryan Whitney are a passionate group of anglers who, together, have logged about 175 years of angling on Champlain and its tribs, and have been around since the early days of the Salmonid Restoration Program.

A huge appreciation as well to the Lake Champlain management team from the various agencies and departments for the discussion time spent with us, as well as the effort required by them to prepare for this meeting.

Since there will be time allotted for Q & A, it would be very helpful to use this Forum to formulate a “shopping list” in advance, of issues that you, the anglers, would like to see addressed by the speakers (whether you plan to attend or not).

This is your opportunity to have your voices heard by those making the policies and decisions about the Champlain Fishery Program

Not sure if we'll be home by then Bill, and I'm going to do my best to attend. I would just have one question, What is going on with the Broad Lake?

Too bad. Yesterday I received a package of west coast Albacore from my brother who runs a boat from Half Moon Bay. Smoked, it's like candy. I'm sorry that I can't share!
