Lake Champlain United - Forums

First paragraph-

"Lake Champlain is nationally renowned for its smallmouth and largemouth bass fisheries. But due to intensive management efforts, the native lake trout and landlocked Atlantic salmon resources are experiencing a dramatic recovery...Controlling the abundance of parasitic sea lamprey is critical to those management efforts."

Do people agree with what the NY report says?

I think only time will tell....but deep down we all hope it's because of the Lamprey control. If that's the case then the fishing will hopefully continue to get better.

Lamprey Control plays a very vital role no doubt. But just because the fishery is on the upswing doesn't mean we can sit back, relax, and put the Sea Lamprey Control Program on the back burner. Sea Lamprey Control is going to have to continue for as long as we want a healthy fishery.
Forever?
