hey ya think this snow will help save the ice?
I wonder what a pile of 192,000 perch looks like??🤔😜
We had a meeting with Cornell last night. Tons of great info. Average ice out is April 1st.The average number of days with ice has been shrinking roughly 6 days per decade for the past 2 decades. The ice out stays about the same but ice up has been getting later. The historical date of ice up used to be around January 1st.They estimated 15,000 walleyes and 192,000 perch were harvested this winter. Higher than normal, but we already knew that.
Any idea how they arrive at the above numbers for harvest data ?
They did a creel survey this winter January - March. 1 person interviewed around 700 fisherman all around the lake. They actually traveled around the lake via snowmobile, they didn’t just wait at access points.I would assume that from there they made a calculation based on the total number of fisherman counted in the areas.
