smerchly Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Visited CDP yesterday to see what's happening ......Wow ! Lots of heavy equipment on the lake front ! Dozers running the full length of the 15 pond berm and removing tons of large cement pieces that are part of the history there . Looks like they are dumping it in front of the stairway on the east corner of the park to build up the shore in anticipation of high water again .... It was windy ...off shore SW , and a guy trolled passed in a small boat very close to shore . I could cast a line from shore over the boat !

мормышка Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 I wonder how the channel is being reinforced at the cliff end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After zooming in , it looks like there is an outflow at those large blocks ....but I can see a fast outflow eating away the bottom sand from those rocks . Big winds have constantly changed the pattern of the outflow area over the years . A closer shot of that outflow....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
мормышка Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 I figured it was more to keep the cliff from sliding down. That outflow is constantly changing. Would nice to see it turn into a real channel with consistent depth. Smelts running yet? 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outdoors in Niagara Smelt started to show up early in the bellies of the trout caught on the bar in front of Fort Niagara. Then, all of a sudden, record breaking temperatures this year created warmer waters than usual. And Lake Ontario temperatures have risen above the magic 42-degree water temperature already, which drives the smelt up the Lower Niagara. Last year, the good smelt run didn't start until around April 15, and remember last year we had lots of ice in the river. So we had to wait until the ice moved out to capture these tasty little critters. Until the temps hit just right, up the river they came. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
мормышка Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 With these temps, it could be any time in a 2 week window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
