[noodle one]

If you fish the Salmon river you may want to check this out. (http://www.syracuse....d  other  la. html) The steelhead are dying in the salmon river and other lake Ontario tributaries and the DEC dosn't know why. The dead steelhead started showing up about the third week in Nov., on the banks and bottom of the river.Fisherman  have been saying that the fish are loaded with gill lice. The DEC are saying that the gill lice are not killing the fish and it might be that they need vitamin B .  They don't know what is killing the fish. Steelhead are the only fish dying off.

Hope they can get to the bottom of it. Next to walleyes, because they are a lot more local for me, steelhead are my favorite fish to go after. Still, after 30 years, I have never cracked the 20 pound mark.
