We went on Saturday in search for some nice size stream trout. My dad warned me that the mosquitoes would be really bad, but I didn't listen to him. The consequence, millions of mosquito bites. At one time 1 1 counted a total of six mosquitoes mosquitoes biting me at the same time on my left arm. We caught a couple of small rainbow trout no longer than six inches. We both saw and had bites from some good size fish. No matter how big the fish were, they couldn't keep us in the woods, being eaten alive by the mosquitoes as we where. We both decided decided to head back down stream to the bridge to wait for my dad to pick us up. While we were waiting for my dad under the bridge, I caught a nice nine inch brown trout. As mentioned last week, here is some more information information on the round goby and tubenose goby. The round goby and the tubenose goby were transported transported to St. Clair River in the late 1980's from the ballast water of ships from eastern Europe. Both fish are bottom dwellers and are small in size. Gobies pelvic fin (the one on the bottom, bottom, by the gill) are joined under the fish. Gobies are the only fish that have this feature. feature. The reason for this is so that the fish can stay on the bottom in fast currents. The round goby can grow up to 25 centimetres making it the larger of the two. The tubenose goby reaches 11 centimetres. The round goby prefers rocky and sand bottoms bottoms near shore and the tubenose goby prefers shallow shallow areas that contain aquatic vegetation. Gobies are found in all the Great Lakes and some inland waters in Michigan. When gobies are small, they feed on insects and other small organisms found on the bottom. As the round goby gets larger, they feed greatly on zebra mussels. The gobies will most likely not be able to control zebra mussel numbers. numbers. That's, all for this week, and have a great week fishing. IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE NOTICE PUBLIC MEETING Police say 'no' to forum The Board of Directors of the Durham Regional Police Association fed that the open forum approach proposed by Bob Boychyn, Chair of the Police Services Board, shows a complete disregard for the members of this Police Service, who, in. confidence, voiced their concerns through the survey sent out by ABM Research Limited. An open forum format would allow management to identify members who have differing opinions thus opening the dcior for another Robinson situation where a grievance might result. The survey assured all members the opportunity to express their thoughts and concerns i without peer pressure or fear of reprisal. - It would appear that Mr., Boychyn has totally ignored the survey where members indicated that managements* loyalty to the members was five percent. The responses from the Police Services Board's chair has only reinforced our members* concerns. On the 24th May, 2000 at a general membership meeting, a second motion was made. This motion was bdd back to give the Police Services Board die opportunity to respond to the membership's demand for the Chief of Police's resignation. We advised the membership we would request a meeting with the Police Services Board as quickly as possible. We did this in written correspondence on May 25, 2000. Their reply, received May 30th,. 2000 indicated that they would meet with our board of directors after the open forum meetings, whenever they are ■V Creek waters^ It s our third public eeting auMti*. • ^||!L we're on a roil!
