Why don't they eliminate the new regulations on the lakes where VHS has already been found? It makes no sense to limit the use of bait on a lake where the virus is already present. I don't see how using Lake Erie minnows on Conesus could hurt, since both lakes are already infected. They should concentrate on the lakes that do not have the virus. They could post a list of infected lakes and exclude them from the new regs.
acouple questions-Is the VHS in the water or in the fish?Could VHS have existed for centuries, just no one looked or found it till now?
Many have said that bait prices should not go up because the price of bait from the southwest is remaining stable and this is true. Now for a reality check, it all depends on where the baitshops got their bait before the new laws. before the new law my emerald shiners came from the Niagara River now they come from Wisconsin, at a price increase of over 100%. As for fatheads we used to get our fatheads locally except during very cold weather. Know we get all of are fatheads from the southwest at double the price. Our pike bait in the winter used to be commons from the Niagara River now all of are winter pike bait comes from the southwest at almost double the cost.now for the real bad news price from the southwest are stable right now because there is little demand. What is going to happen in the spring when there is a demand?LarryPembroke
