Hello from sun splashed Happy Camp near the shores of White Slaughter lake. While the wind blows, the trees sway, it does not take Rocket Science to figure this out. Steady traffic to and from the lake well into the dark hours. Last night the last 2 trucks pulled out shortly before 9 p.m. If you have fished White Slaughter after dark, well there is no more issue for discussion is there!
I recently found out that the MNR again came and Gill netted the lake, the 3rd time since we have been at White Slaughter. There is no doubt they have taken way too many fish. Despite our pleas for shocking efforts and volunteers to help, the powers that be do not believe in that type of fish survey, they would rather, well you do the Math.
Magoo had an episode last night, so we have been laying low. But a while ago, we went to the lake for a walk on the edge, and alas, the Beach is full of trucks, sprinkled all over the lake. I can guarantee you that they certainly are NOT fishing Whitefish, very few know they even exist out there! The conservation mindset comes from within, certainly NOT Rocket Science to figure out why we have what we do.
It is up to YOU to make that decision or look in the mirror and ask yourself just WHY there are fewer and fewer fish. I challenge everyone to be honest with themselves, but hey guess what, that just is not in the cards today is it!
With that I bid you a good day, enjoy the sun, catch a few, how many will you let go for another day?
