flyman013 Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Have any of you guys checked out the Lake Superior State fish cam lately? Seems like the majority of the fish have lampreys attached to them. Are there that many lampreys in that area?
Nailer Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Peter I noticed the same thing. When we fished Detour this spring, a high number of the fish we got had lamprey on them. The St. Mary's river is a big breading area for them. link to cam.
Yoda Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 Lots of those bloody things up here, almost all the salmon you catch will at least have a scare on them. Seems like they have taken a liking to salmon blood. This spring out of Detour there must have been a hatch of them, Most of the salmon had lampreys about 6" long on them, unlike the 1 foot + lamperys in the past.... On a Kinda high note, most of the lakers are clean, no lamperys and no scars, go figure...
