Betrayed, Again!

Never trust a politician, and a fishery manager who doesn't fish! Boy do we feel like real A-holes, sold a bill of goods for what purpose to help write someone's thesis and dissertation? Maybe we should be filling in our anglers diary with just blank pages. So what's got Art's shorts in a bunch this time?

Lets's start with the sensors to read the fish tags, trouble is the only fish tagged are some alewives transplanted from the Peconic River. All this time I thought they were studying trout movements, and how the brook trout are surviving. Seems the purpose of the fish ladder was to see how many invasives can enter our stream. Yes, alewives by definition are invasive. The invaded the Great Lakes and the solution was to stock salmon to reduce and control alewives. Maybe we need to stock some Atlantic salmon here? The demonization of brown trout and the subsequent lack of stocking of larger browns, saving the brookie's ? No limiting the number of trout in the river. What's next striped bass up at the dam?

What has to happen and happen today is the end of all the tinkering with our fishery! They're going to save the Carmans from what. At the rate their going it's going to be a sterile playground. The last bastion of the brook trout and under a full assault, from air, land and now sea!
