Then the US spent millions of dollars in rearing Coho and Chinook Salmon and released them into the lake. The fishing began to improve so much that some enterprising individuals jumped on the bandâ€" wagon in Ontario. n. AL, By now, most of you must have noticed the absence of articles on the Coho from Lake Ontario in my Trailblazer column. I spoke with my editor some time ago about this and told him that I was unable to support this circus under the 00ver of sports fishing or even as outdoor news. I‘d like to take a look now on how I feel about it. What happened? At one time Lake Ontario was in its prime with Lake trout as the stable fish. Salmon had stopped running some years ago so com: mercial fishermen concentrated on the Trout. I aon‘t know if this is true, but if it is, I know now where the fish have gone. Lamprey Lamprey invaded the lake through the St. Lawrence Canal. The fish which were left had no Chance of survival with their slow growth rate, so they quickly went the way of the salmon, Small garbage fish, the Alewives and the Smelt, and to an extent White Perch, took over the lake. Industrial poison Our US counterparts were, and still are, diseharging human and industrial waste into the lake. A program to clean up the lake was quickly killed when the funds were withdrawn by the US federal government. We, in Ontario. cleaned up our pollution and poisoned the lamprey. The US did not. This made no sense at all. ‘We need fish as well’. they screamed. The fieldday for the US manufacturers of downriggers began! Coho program Our officials gave it a try. The Coho program went underway with millions of dollars taken away from other projects. We blame the lamprey and pollution for the decline of the lakers but I have talked to commercial fishermen who have told me proudly that, at one time, there were so many Lake trout in the lake that the boat was filled with fish and the fishermen were standing kneeâ€"deep in spawn. Coho ’Circus’ shot by W the fourth The Lions‘ Paul Harrietha was equally impressive on the mound as he surrendered only three hits while striking out 12 men, The lone Richmond Hill m came on a homerun An error, followed by a Wes as Whitaker inning. This poison is still being released into the lake from a fire ex- tinguisher company in New York State, and the last I heard, the government has no way of stopping this from happening. Water circus So, besides creating the biggest water circus on Lake Ontario. we have fish we cannot eat . . .fish that c05ts millions of dollars each year to the taxpayer. screamedw again. ‘What is a few million dollars if we provide all those anglers with fish!‘ Thousands of anglers con- centrated on such spots as the Credit and the Humber. The scene was sickening to any true Sportsman, Snagging, netting, spearing were common. The streams had to be cut off to be controlled. Hundreds of boats ran over each other's lines out on the lake. True, it is big business, but who gets all thermonery? Drunks I saw three anglers in one canoe half mile from shore. so drunk they would have been unable to walk. I saw large boats outfitted with the latest gear almost ram smaller craft in their competition for Salmon. New poison I also have eaten Salmon from out there, and you can have them. Then the problem with PCB began and is still with us. We were warned not to eat the fish Don‘t believe the story that fishermen spend enough money on tackle and bait to pay for the fish. Game wardens We are short of game wardens all over Ontario because of the money cutbacks. We cut dawn on stocking programs for lakes and rivers with naturally reproducing fish due to a shortage of money. How can you justify catering to a few who have found heaven on Lake Ontario? Ontario has about one million anglers but only about two percent fish for Salmon. wNdwit’here is a new poison in the fish, Mirex, which has been proven to be a cancer-causing agent: Do you still wonder why I don’t want to be a part of Coho fishing? ‘Fishing is big bgsiness’, [[ley Jtroilblozer} Norton homerun to left field, proved to be enough for a Claremont victory. Lawrence Millard gbt the only other Lion hit with a double. Whitaker caught a good game behind the plate while Jon Hunsdale made a great throw from centrefield to cut down a runner at homeplate.
