Lake Erie is far from "back". The farmers of the Black Swamp area have the richest, darkest soil in the USA, yet they overfertilize with both chemicals and with farm animal manure. EVERY year there is a huge algal bloom in the western basin from all the excess fertilization. No one challenges the AG lobby. An even bigger threat are the Chinese big head carp that have already been caught IN LAKE ERIE. It's only a short matter of time before that great sport industry is gone.
Grew up on middle bass island north shore east point used to watch the Canadian poachers come into us and Ohio waters at night and gill net our walleyes this was in 75 -76 when the walleyes came back hope we are doing a better job now with this hatch which seems along the same lines on the other hand if you strayed past the cans on the line just as a fisherman the damn Canadians would grab you confiscate you boat equipment and arrest you no gps at the time so you better know where you where lol
OK,great,but terrible perch fishing in the central and eastern basis,so stop bragging about something mother nature did with the walleye spawn,why no perch if your research is so great
Donald Hamm number of factors in no perch by the way there are perch to be had they just don’t jump into the boat anymore gotta work for them clean clear water invasive species and the walleye explosion don’t worry will even out
My Canadien friends say that industry and business leaving has done more than government agencies. But they are Canadian.
The death of industry around the Great Lakes has done more for the lakes than any other reason the same with the rivers cleaning up in this country
Thats so good to see and hear
I'm wondering if Ontario has helped out with this at all ?

Presenters seem to be completely clueless about the toxic algae blooms here.. sheesh.
