They do lots of various things, surveys, tagging, general health, growth studies, etc. with different species that we don't know about! Just thinking with no ice(and the fact that pike, normally! begin spawning in February), would be a good time to collect some data? Since I'm curious, I'll find out whats up.
Found out they have "some" nets out at Mosquito, and Berlin. So far, in spite of the warm temps, the Walleye are "Not Ready" yet!(Better safe than sorry! Wouldn't want to miss it!)
I was crappie fishing late one night in March and it was unreal the numbers of walleye that were rolling and the splashing sounded like frogs jumping in and out of the water. I thought Berlin had a large number but Mosquito kicked its butt!
The activity and rolling eyes on the shorelines goes in cycles. Like ezbite said, it's pretty cool when they are active. They flash right at your feet. It's also a great time for morons to go lights out stealth mode ripping weighted treble hooks. I've seen it a few times. There are some big girls laying there waiting to be picked off. Always call and report it.
My son had to work late but was on the causeway Friday night just before the thunderstorms rolled in. Had to leave. Said something must be biting as there were three "van loads" of fishermen there already when he got there around 11. They also left!
Years ago I went to Nimisila to fish, when I got there the states guys had just finished test netting. I asked if they caught anything big and was told "son we saw fish today you would be afraid to catch"
last i heard it was too cold and the nets were left open so the fish swim thru and dont get trapped. i know there is no way id want to be out on the lake all day pulling fish out of nets when its below freezing. ive been out with them checking the nets a few times and i get cold just videoing them, i can imagin how cold it is handling them all day.
Got a question hopefully someone can answer for me. Is the state park marina open water? Thinking about going and giving the docks a try I'm over an hour away just wanna know if it's open water before I head out. Thank you in advance
