 the area i live in lost a pile of musky and large mouth this year. the story in the local newspaper said there was over 1000 musky and largemouth bass washed up on the shore this spring. there is a couple of control dams in the lake, and the word is that the government agency the takes care of this region let to much water out of the lake. last year i could go fishing there and in a couple hours i would always get 8-12 bass and a musky.(always catch and release) this year nothing not even a hit, the lake is dead. amazing how quickly a lake can die. hopefully in the years to come it can make a comeback with proper management.

hey freshwater, long sault is good for carp. i grew up in long sault and spent many summers at the first bridge. i love the good fight of a carp, but any more there is to much carp there. the bass and walleye has really gone down the tubes there. The canadian carp club has taken that area right over. at the bird sanctuary in morrisburg i noticed a sign that prohibits the carp clubs from fishing there. atleast i think thats what it meant. I never see the europeans there so they must have made it a law. at one time there used to be a huge bow tourny in longsault for carp. it was pretty big, alot of people would come from the states and other places. i used to shoot them with the bow, it was nothing for us to shoot 50-100 in a day. sometimes if you were lucky you could shoot through one carp into another and get two at a time. there is another european who set up a carp club in morrisburg. that whole area of the st lawrence is over populated with carp. i think its time to start culling some of them off. the carp clubs dont like that though. they are making a fortune with all the europens that come over. carp is becoming a money business there and its throwing off the balance of the river. but i still love the fight of a carp.

that happened in a near by lake this summer when they were dredging it... every year they drain it but this year they emptied half of it at once and the existing half was only about a foot deep the fish got baked.

I feel your pain tweinz. Same thing happens every year at Folsom Lake in California. Constantly draining the water out of the lake because of the Sierra Nevada runoff. If no snowpack they still drain the lake to keep the American River up. Lake is always half empty every summer.

Carp week is upon us, living in Cornwall you're in one of the best carping areas in the country. I fish the Long Sault area for them quite often, but I can't compete as a Quebec resident. Sorry to hear about the bass die off, we were slamming them near Lancaster up until a few weeks ago, still plenty of big smallies around.
