• Corps Meetings on Florida Canals
Aug. 21 & 23, 2007
If you've ever had a chance to fish the Everglades canals in South Florida, you know that with the next cast, you quite possibly could feel the thump from a bass of a lifetime. Unfortunately, these canals are in jeopardy of being filled in as part of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan. Though the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has promised SAFER (South Florida Anglers for Everglades Restoration), BASS and other angling groups to evaluate if filling in the canals will be necessary to restore the water flows to the Everglades, they have yet to conduct the necessary modeling.
If you live in south Florida, please consider attending one of two public hearings on the subject. Take the opportunity to speak and ask the Corps of Engineers and the South Florida Water Management District to evaluate and consider alternatives to the Everglades restoration efforts that do not include the loss of valuable fisheries. The meetings begin this week at the following locations:
West Palm Beach, Fla.

Water primrose can be a problematic plant when over abundant. It can choke boat lanes and prevent bank anglers from effectively fishing the productive shoreline zone. Like most plants, when it's too abundant it can also ultimately result in reduced dissolved oxygen levels and fish kills.

Time: 7:00 a.m. - 2:30 noon
Meeting Location: Pasadena Marina — Keswick Ontario
Additional details: Pike were once present in these upper reaches of the Holland River (which is actually part of Fairy Lake), however with several dams and obstructions on the river between the little lake and Lake Simcoe, pike are no longer able to reach Fairy Lake.

Additionally, the pike offer exciting fishing opportunities for local residents and for the annual Urban Fishing Festival there hosted by the Aurora Bassmasters and the Newmarket Optimist Club. This event is linked to a future fishing event at Fairy Lake on July 12th.
