If this spring is an indicator, the new rainbow trout category should see lots of fish if one targets them during the derby.
I have never seen SO many fish this spring while working the trap at Denny's Dam.
During a four day period, we lifted almost 3,000 fish with the trap only in for about 1.5 hours per lift, two lifts per day. Several lifts had over 500. The last lift was down 15 minuets as we only needed 52 fish plus a few for scale samples and it had over 250.
Lots of fish over 12 - 13lbs a few over 16 and 3 males nearing 20.
There was a lot of fin clipped fish indicating the year olds stocking program which has been in places for 3 years now and this being the fourth is working big time. Hats off to the Lake Huron Fishing Club and the Ontario Steelheaders.
