Willi,
Yes, back in the late 40's and early 50's I remember catching a lot of
Yellow Perch and White Bass in Lake Erie, then it went downhill because of
pollution. I remember when the Cuyuga (sp) river caught fire! Now they
have cleaned it up and Conneaut is known as the Walleye capital of the
world!

I found this site about Conneaut Creek on the net recently and would
like to
know if any of you have fished there. I grew up in Conneaut as a boy
and
caught nothing but bullhead and Gar in Conneaut Creek. That was 50+
years
ago. I am glad to hear that it is stocked with trout and that it has
Walleye, Muskie and Pike. I will be there this summer for my 50th high
school reunion and will give it a try.


People talk about the good old days of fishing, but overall things have
improved considerably in the last fifty years. When I was growing up in
the Midwest, the streams and rivers had big piles of suds below any
stretch of water that had current and Lake Erie was pronounce dead with
pronouncements of the other Great Lakes to follow. Now some of those
streams and river hold populations of game fish and the Great Lakes are
VERY productive fisheries.
