I was worried about my trout ponds, Sonny.  Last weekend it was dead slow for fish activity but finally got a few bites.  Hooked one for a bit and it seemed to have good spunk so I don't know.  Two and three weeks before that they were biting like crazy.  With the top three inches of ice being refrozen flood slush and the snow load, a lot less light is getting down so that worries me.  The water got a bit murkier too like the pond turned over, something happened.   It got cold relatively early this year so if we get a later thaw we might be in a lot of trouble for winter kill.

Josh, I heard Salters was in rough shape too.

Here is a pic from Hasse Lake I took today.

I heard Salters did die as the aerator was off for an extended period.  As well I hope all the walleye survived in Hasse.  Why they even went in there is beyond me!  Chickacoo wont be stocked with brookies anymore either.

Walleye in Hassie?

Where did you hear that from???

Thanks Axeman
That is a surprise to me.

I know that sometimes the hatchery people and fisheries management are sometimes not on the same page and all of a sudden fish go somewhere for strange reasons.

It would be interesting to know if this was indeed a mistake.  You should ask some of your contacts, Robin.
