It looks as though the Winooski is getting her every 4th year legal dose of lamprey treatment!
Glad it's happening!!!

That's great news and I hope it continues on schedule for many, many years to come. The size and quality of the fish have improved considerably. Now if the lake had more water in it so we could use the launch areas, that would be great too !
I'm concerned that the Frostbite shoot out may be in jeopardy if we can't get our boats in the water.

It's not just a unit of measure !

Re: Lamprey treatment in Winooski River TODAY!
I went and checked it out, it was cool to see how it was done, and how it kills the lamprey. They say their gills are primitive when they are young, and the chemicals pretty much suffocates them. Probably why I noticed all the rocks that were underwater had a layer of green on them! Turned the water an akward tint of green too, I felt like I was fishing in the twilight zone.
