<p>I wanted to mention that at the Oct. meeting, I was talking to a guy who fishes the Buffalo river further upstream. I didn't get his name. He may be a newer member. The way he was talking led me to believe that muskies are not that uncommon up there. He was saying that it would be nice if they would put a boat launch in up there. It sounded like he spends a lot of time fishing in there in a small boat.</p>

<p>Steve...no, there is no source of H2O that I know of. It entrance to the canal does see a lot of wave action & raised H2O when the winds are high & the right direction.</p>
<p>The only outlet that I know of out of Tifft is the small culvert that empties into SBH. D.r Kevin K & the DEC all agree that it would be great if a much larger culvert could be installed to allow free passage of fish. They said that Tifft is ideal musky spawning & nursery habitat.</p>

<p>The Corps of Eng has a program to install large culverts to help fish passage. I got the guy's email & phone yesterday to talk with him.</p>
<p>...and like I said, many years ago that canal was connected to Tifft farms but was filled in maybe for Rte 5? I'll try to scan a section of that old map I have.</p> No offense taken Mark, Happy…tag:niagaramuskyassociation.ning.com,2015-12-03:6476506:Comment:394192015-12-03T23:31:17.006ZNate Carrhttps://niagaramuskyassociation.ning.com/profile/NateCarr

<p> It was a jackass move to call you by the wrong name........Apologies...Anyway, thanks again for the info. I am not a fly guy but cool to hear your results. Happy Holidays!</p>

<p>John...with the weeds, wood & shallow water that was put in, hopefully it's only going to get better.</p>
<p>When Tony & I gave Chris the tour, we ran the boat right up onto a stump. Almost threw us over the bow. Had to stand in the stern to raise the bow & get off the stump. It might be time to think about getting my 12' jon out there! I've already had two people fly fishing off it.</p>

<p>Nate...sounds like a plan!! I'm already ready! I love fishing the harbor & have been doing that (mainly for 'eyes) for a lot of years so I know where the weeds beds, dropoffs, & edges, etc. A lot has changed since the steel plant & coke ovens shut down but the habitat is still there.</p>
<p>I live in Lake View so Bouquard's at the South Gap is like a 12 minute drive for me. You could just drive there & meet me.</p>

<p>If you haven't already, read the Oct 2015 newsletter when you have a chance. Tony Scime & I gave Chris Legard, the DEC fish biologist, a tour of Bflo Harbor. Once you get past my Charles Dickens prologue (it's a little "cheesy"), there are descriptions of the various possible habitat improvement areas in the Harbor. When we did YOY seining this year, the two biggest & healthiest musky young-of-year netted were inside the harbor. </p>

That's where Larry was having success this october. Up past the general mills slip way up by the sand/gravel piles. Some good marks way up there. Snaggy but good bait every day I trolled up. No success for me but the screen sure looked good.
