record steelhead harvest for canada 2007

seems the canadians put a hurting on our steelhead this summer. record harvests in the nets. seems there is a good market for steelheads in china.
if anyone is wondering why no steelheads are showing up in erie, look north and flip them the bird. this will become a regular occurance in the future.
I always thought the steelhead fishery would kill itself. well, the canadians killed it for younzs.

I would think the PFABC and their counter parts in OH and NY would have something to say about that...Seems it would be unfair for us to stock steelhead and them to make $ on it, if this is true.

Tippy, its the game..
they know many will be harvested, but they have no control over what another country does. they just hope for the best.
 
PIangler, its actually a no brainer and spoonwhoever most likely is fully aware. Its like when you tell a little kid to eat his vegies because they're good for them. The little kid shakes his head side to side and screams NO!!!!!!!
these pittsburgh no it alls think erie is the best thing since sliced bread, big fish that are easy for them to catch. If you or I lived in that ugly dirty overpopulated place we might feel the same. They defend steelhead fishery because its the only thing they have to look forward to. They will soon grow tired of spending $100's of dollars on gas and minnows at Bac. The truth hurts and not just pittsburghers but even the locals. they will soon have no choice but to believe it.
watch and see

I'm quite aware there is nothing that can be don about fish being caught in another country(Canada) but this is also the point in hand! there is a big problem with two country's sharing the great lakes and not coming together to protect the fishery's as a hole. All the invasive species to hit the great lakes and there are more to come originate from bilge water transfer of ballast water. the USA has made several at temps to address this issue but two political entity's can not put there differences aside to protect and preserve for the future the natural integrity of the great lakes.The VHS virus is just the tip of the iceberg there is a more deadlier virus responsible for total economic devastation of the North Atlantic salmon population just sitting off the cost of north America and Canada and bilge water will soon put it in your back yard , what you going to do about it son
 
If you can get the chink out of your armor and need to get informed contact Great Lakes United (Jennifer Nalborne jen@glu.org)
 
cherish the fishery of today because hard times are up the st.Lawrence. Ask Chuck  about the virus sitting at the mouth of the St. Lawrence he'll know.

I don't have any firsthand info on what Canada may or may not be doing to the steelhead. But, I have lived in erie all my life and the last two years have been record breaking in my personal record book. I agree that POTENTIAL commercial overfishing COULD reduce numbers, as of now there are plenty of fish for everyone. Space on the bank though, thats another story.

Is Pittsburgh a city in Russia or Canada? Just kiddin'-come one come all, we'll make room. Welcome back!

one year it was walleyes eating smolts, next it was snakes eating smolts, next it was large birds(pteradactyls(sp), storks, turkey vultures, herons, etc...), then it was Amish, then russians, then mupheres, downheres, overdheres, then new yorkans, then ohioans, then russians, now its canadians and steelhead hungry chinese. LMAO!!!! how does anybody ever catch any steelhead. they have got to be the most illusive fish ever.

Thats good! Real good! This post is unbelievable! Them darn Canadians have to ruin everything! The EPSFA Tourny is why there are NO STEELHEAD! We caught them all, Every last Stinkin one of them! Didn't leave any for Yinzers (like myself), Ohioians, New Orkers, West By God Virginian's, Erien's, Canadian's, Stork's, Ostrich's, Grand Kids, Great Grand kids or anyone else that wants to catch those der' big ole trout! GET REAL!!!!THERES SO MANY FISH OUT THERE YOU JUST HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO CATCH THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

read about the snakes a year or so ago on the old board. i dont remember exactly who, but i believe it was that nice fella by the name of mr.fisherman who posted it. be thankful he doesnt keep steel. he catches them when nobody else can. if you dont believe me just ask him.
 
also, there was a picture of a kid who wrestles, that catches them with his bare hands. the picture has been posted on the old boards many times. have not seen it posted recently.

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
i believe it was a gang of west virginians that infiltrated the creeks. heard they rode in ohio Amish buggies being pulled by ostriches.
