It looks like it's one of those years when those bugs come out in huge swarms . Good thing they don't bite like black flies . I think the proper name for them is "midge" . I have seen them before near Port Dalhousie , seems they like to be near the lake . T.O. has them as well........ probably beneficial to feed small fish ...... https://dailyhive.com/toronto/midge-season-toronto-2018 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or did you break out the guitar and play some Hendricks tunes ? Maybe you should have cranked up the Harley ?? I hope they don't sue you for "traumatizing" their off spring ......

verado 180 Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 That's strange. A buddy lives across the street from the Chippawa ramp and he tells me its been open for the last 2 days and being run very orderly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I only drove by and I'm pretty sure the sign said closed. There were two city trucks and no trailers. Maybe 9am? Also the gates to the big river are still closed. smerchly 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

verado 180 Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 I hope the one at Crystal Beach will soon be ready as well. A little while ago the Fort Erie office said we will be looking at when and if it will be open for the 2020 season. I can't imagine them not opening. I've been told there are plenty of walleye out there with my name on them. fredfisher 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

slowski 10 Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 anyone know what the ramps are like on the lower grand? , albeit a very nice ramp has chosen to run memberships this year and I am not out that way enough to make it worth the 140 some odd dollars (according to my wife). I've heard you can launch by the restaurant but I've never used the ramp :S ? What is the situation in port maitland? tight lines all! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smelt_Fishy 10 Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Are you talking about the ramp at the boat club in Dunnville (by old arena)? I surely hope not, because that is a substantial increase from previous seasons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve seen multiple blockades moved to the side over the past few weeks. If the ramp was open, why would the municipality keep the hardware on site? Good question cpt..got to the river today ,June 9th, and the hardware is still there,road down+ramp is open..seems not everyone is as smart as you and I Quote Link to post Share on other sites
