The condition of the Great Lakes obviously has a significant, if not ultimate, impact on all the waterways we fish along the escarpment and further inland. I think all of this is worth monitoring in the coming years. Thanks for the comments Andrew.

This was actually on the descovery channel not that long ago, or maybe SciHD, one of the two. This might not seem like a lot, but when you consider alot of the "coast" of lake ontario is reclaimed swamp land, 10 inches over 100 years is alot. <br><br>I know 2 spots along lake ontario, both west of rochester where you can find VOLCANIC rocks on the shore line. RARLEY you can find white rocks that float, which are volcanic in nature. While i dont have any of the white type as they are really really rare, i do have alot of the darker volcanic rock, and one chunk of metal of unknown type that i have found along the shore. Ive talked with local residence who live on the lake who have felt earthquakes followed a day or two later by volcanic rocks being washed up on shore.... this is kinda creepy. <br><br>The lakes are loosing water. Greedy dry air is sucking the water out of the lakes, and dumping it east of us. With ice over happening later and later in the season, lack of the ice sheild is allowing water to escape. Dry spring's and summer's are not refilling them at the same rate they are losing water in the winter months. The creek i fish, used to be almost 3 feet deeper on average 10 years ago. You just look at these banks and wonder, where is the water that formed these cuts. “crustal rebound”. – NY side is gaining depth at a rate of 1/10th a inch a year.
