There will be NO tree wrapping on Motor next Sun, the 24th or the rest of this year. Meanwhile, Jojo's been on the Bat phone talking about S'berry, but so far no news.  Watch our site for any changes.  There's always a possibility for volunteer work.Andy, Park Mgr & DEC's Connie gave our club their sincerest & most grateful appreciation for the volunteer work that we've done.  They both said: Thank you, thank you,…

Done like Thanksgiving turkey; done like an Easter ham; and done before noon.  Motor Island is done.  Nine members showed up this morning & made quick work of it.  Many, many thanks to the volunteers.  There's nothing left to do for this year.  Read the Motor Island Beav Report in May's newsletter!!

State of Lake Erie meeting tomorrow (Thurs) at Southtowns Walleye Club house on Southwestern, 7 pm -  9 pm.

Good Day Boys and Girls

It is that time of year again, time to work on the island we hold and love so dear. This year we have one exception, Strawberry. The DEC has asked us to STAY AWAY from the island due to the Bald Eagles nesting again this year. So we will concentrate on Motor Island. It should not take long since we have cleaned it and wrapped it the last three years in a row.

The dates are Sundays 4/17, 4/24, 5/1, and 5/15 at 9 am Sheridan ramp. PLEASE bring your own…

Sat, the 19th, I went to a fly-tying show in Syracuse called Tie-One-On.  A small, but excellent show.  There were tiers, instructors, exhibitors and organizations like Casting for Recovery & the DEC. It was mostly Central NY but a few had heard about the musky fishing in WNY's Niagara & Bflo Harbor.  All fly-fishing talk, though. I showed a few musky pics (posted by Nate) from past newsletters & pics off the web.  The fly-guys were in…

While at the show yesterday at the DEC booth, noticed that they had the new 2016-17 NYS Fishing Regs out.  I'll try to get a stack from them & have them at the next meeting (hopefully).  Here is the cover shot:

I showed up about 1:00 pm just after the last boulder was dropped (story of my life). Many thanks to Tom Page for the pics. The rock drops are done. Time for the final writeup & submittal to the Corps:…

Just heard on the news that one of the Bills that won't be playing tomorrow due to injury is John Miller. Don't tell them he will be fishing in the Lower Niagara!!

To all veterans out there; thanks for the time you put into your service.  Enjoy your day.

Jays make it 2-2, go Cubs!!

I should have posted something earlier but most of you may already know. This Saturday is the 9th Annual Mark Troy tournament on Waneta Lake 7am til 3:30pm. It is always the first Saturday in October. It is put on by Jim Reynolds, Bob Saucke and Ed Cragg. Looks like Ed will be the only judge boat this year. Bob will be at the cottage bu he will not be able to goo on the water because he is recovering from a knee operation. Jim will probably be helping on Ed's boat. Go to this link on LOU for…

Thoughts and prayers go out Mike Matthews, Owner/Ops Manager @ Rich Marine in the sudden loss of his 26 yr. old son Tyler. Ty was in sales @ RMS and Previously played D1 Hockey for Niagara U. Mike has been a friend to many Musky guys over the years.

Super vids, Jim & a great presentation.  Once again, superb &  very enjoyable.  Thanks much for showing us what it looks like under the surface!

The Oak Orchard Fly Shop on Main St in Williamsville is closing up (going out of business) and they have one of our "Know the Diff" signs.  Should I try to pick it up from them?
