« Last post by Fred Snyder, Ohio Sea Grant Extension on 08/16/12, 15:12 »The Division of Wildlife's August trawls give a much better indicator of YOY numbers than do trawls from July -- at a recent Great Lakes Fishery Commission meeting an ODNR biologist mentioned that while they are seeing young walleye, the numbers appear to be in the lower quartile of the range they usually see. Yellow perch look to have had a better hatch.

I am freelancing an article about Asian carp threat to the Great Lakes and particularly to Lake Erie.
If you could provide an update to the Stop Invasive Species Act, I would great appreciate this.
Is the bill still working its way through Congress?
Thank you,
Bo Ljungholm

« Last post by reo on 07/16/12, 18:44 »I have not cought any of the 6-10 inchers (probably because I do my walleye fishing in the central basin) but the 15-16 inch fish seem very abundant. I have not seen this many 15" range fish since 2005. We have limited the last 8 trips and they are about 50% of the catch with several throw backs per trip as well.
