There was another newsletter that was just as interesting. It was the voice of the Lake Ontario Trout and Salmon Association and they were shouting out important pieces of angling information to its members. There was lamprey control funding in danger and a letter-writing campaign was being pushed.

One of my favorite locations for viewing bald eagles, especially in the winter months when cold weather locks up many of the area’s waters with a coating of ice, is the Niagara River. Strong currents keep the river from freezing up and, as a result, attracts eagles from Western New York and Southern Ontario for a meal of fresh fish.
