This is bullshit!!! After all the years of effort it will all go down the drain if they miss a year. call Made!!!

The receptionist said the Gov was out, but took a message and I asked they follow up. The girl said she has gotten many calls about lamprey control today and she would forward my concerns. I left email, and phone numbers as well as some serious concerns and comments.

Is will work if we all call...

Thanks Matt, I don't know how many other forums some of you visit but this is the only one for me please share this with any other Forums you use

I can't imagine this lack of action could be anything but bad for the lake sturgeon project too. I'm going to call the office tomorrow, thanks for the heads up.

I didn't see the article. What were the reasons? I don't react to anything too fast. It usually ends badly.

[Captain Paul]

fishmaster176 there is know article yet but there will be. I don't like to act to fast either but my sources are pretty good . The reason is that VT. Health Department the ones that think its fine for every town around to dump Raw Sewage in to the Lake Champlain Basin has come up with new standards for drinking water that doesn't allow enough TFM to be used to be effective but Raw Sewage is fine in the drinking water. I believe it is a political ploy to appease some of there constituents

Since we do know that rivers and streams are treated once every four years, does anyone know which tributaries are due for treatment? Is treatment usually done in the spring when they spawn? If so, this would go into effect in spring of 2017 with a new gubernatorial administration, yes?

[Registered Kayak]

I feel that catching a trophy salmon is something to be cherished for all. I want my child to get himself into large salmon regularly in the future. This is ruining the opportunity that I was able to enjoy this past year with family and friends. And the control program shutdown will be for political reasons??? This needs to be addressed and assertively. We all need to, if this is going to be a reality.

What the real tragedy here is that when they skip a year most of the effort and money that has been spent gets wasted!!!This is typical government B.S!!! Sleeps

[tamiron]

This is a travesty! Heed Captain Paul's advice !

I KNOW Laplatte river was scheduled for this fall and two other streams in Vt. this treatment is suppose to happen in about 1-2 month

OK, thanks. We've got to make some noise on this. I'll do my small part tomorrow.

How can the Govenor of a state that relies on tourism for its economy make such a reckless decision? Make the call,send the email and spread the word!!!

[popster]

If this is true, it is the worst news imaginable for our fishery.
However, let's get ALL the facts straight first.
