I don't see any holes. I'm just saying, it's tough to catch fish through the ice with no holes.....glass half full, anybody? No?
Tako, slinkin out the back door...
You walked out there an left your tracks didn't you Maybe the holes drilled were from water quality sampling to determine the probability of winterkill? Whole lot of speculation from some boot tracks and sled marks
There are some pretty whacked out accusations in this thread. Stupid biologists, unethical consulting companies being two of the big ones. I see lots of speculation.
And I am one of those anglers that will specifically target whitefish on the flyrod. They fight better than most fish in the spring. A 3lb April whitefish is nothing to sneeze at around here. Most days you're lucky to land them. I don't understand the disdain.
Don, I think you should stick to three sites. At least perform tests above Carr, or your data will be rendered useless for any kind of statistical testing. Cover your arse and do some testing upstream of Carr. I would be interested in knowing your results.
