water level on Ontario and St. Lawrence

[ol crawdad]

Hi, Anyone have a report on how the water level is?  I talked to Krings Pt., they said their launch is still closed, but others might be open, looking to get out at the end of Sept.  Henderson Harbor, or someplace in the 1000 Isles.
Thanks, ol crawdad

I fished the clayton and then A bay areas this week, water is still high, but is no where near as high as it was.  We launched in clayton no problem, and most of the launches looked back to normal in the Bay.  I know someone who launched a pontoon in goose bay, so I think there are places.  They are really enforcing that no wake special rule, so plan on putting or risking it.  The big cruising boats seamed to be flying around, but we did see the state police pull over a few.  Good luck!

Thanks pikie.  Is it still: 5 mph speed limit within 600 feet of shore?

Thanks pikie.  Is it still: 5 mph speed limit within 600 feet of shore? 

Yeah, I'm not sure from where to where it is, but in Clayton and ABay I know its in effect and somewhat enforced...  Lots of people flying around though...I'd say use common sense.

Sounds like a plan.  Don't need any avoidable tickets.  Hard to catch pike @ over 5 mph anyway !

Still in force on the river, at least as far north as Massena - don't know about down stream from there.  They reduced the outflow this past weekend, again.  Lifted the restrictions on some the navigation of the commercial shipping as well.  Water is going down.  I would not look for Krings Point to open their launch this year - it's getting close to closing time.  I'm sure a guy could get in at the Goose Bay launch off Rt.12.

Thanks FISHFORPIKE.  Was going to stay at Krings, but I will probably be going solo this trip, and tough to get the boat AND the truck back to Krings from the GB launch that way.  I'll try some cabins elsewhere where they have a launch.
At Krings, the water lifted their dock and placed it in the middle of the launch.

The launch at Wagner's on Dingman's point is excellent . The fishing in the general area, as stated,  has been outstanding. !!!!!!!!!!!
