Keep in mind that I am always looking for images for our newsletter; fish, sunsets, sunrises, other anglers fishing, equipment, anything fishing related. I can use them all. Large, unedited images are best. Thanks.

"In comparison here's the cleithra analysis from a harbor fish caught in 1995. 13 years old and 47 inches. Appears to grow faster than the previous river fish.

Board MemberTony Scime replied to John Jarosz's discussion Where have all the Musky gone?
"I've attached some data from our cleithra study in the 1990s. Most fish don't reach 30 inches until year 5 or 6. Thereafter males tend to grow an inch a year and females at a faster rate. I believe maturity for males is low 30s, and…"

- I've barely fished the river but between cullen and myself we have 15-20 fish to add to those totals including a couple ddinks. I've also pulled baits away from small fish already this season. Lots of mid 30s fish around right now, the ones that were Mia last summer.

Board MemberJohn Jarosz said… Tony...thanks much for the info update and I completely agree with you on the sub-30's fish. It is concerning & I, personally, like to see small fish caught (& properly released) for any species. At least then, we know the fishery is healthy. Has the fishery in the past been cyclic with up's & down's as with other species (take perch five years ago vs. now) or has there been a steady decline? I know the sampling done by the DEC has shown a steady decline in YOY...
thanks much.

Board MemberJohn Jarosz said… Tony...it looks like there are a lot of muskies in the 30" range caught (or lost) so far this month. How does that compare statistically to this time last year? Is it typical? Does it indicate a healthier fishery than last year? Is it too early to tell?

August Meeting
Posted on August 4, 2015 at 9:30am 0 Comments 0 Likes
NMA members,
We learned yesterday that our August speaker had to cancel due to a family health
issue.
In lieu of the scheduled speaker, we will be reviewing this year's catch data to-date - see what's working, what may be different from years past, and how the season's progressing so far. This info should assist you in your Niagara River fishing pursuits for the next couple months.
Tony
