Does anyone remember a man named Ray Trombley? He was a devoted conservationist, fishing guide and was instrumental in creating and managing the smallmouth bass population in the lake. I had the pleasure of fishing with him several times in the 70's and 80's. A true Lake St. Clair legacy

My dad grew up with Ray & his brother(s), they were friends for years. Ray used to live way out at the very end of North River Rd., where it stuck out into the lake. We lived farther up the Clinton River. The residents and township wanted to get rid of some old rotted off pilings out there that boats were hitting, so they hired my dad, a self-taught part-time underwater demolition guy (not his regular job) to work with the Army Corp of Eng. to place underwater explosives at the bases of the pilings, and blew them up. I still have an old photo of a bunch of fish that floated up dead from the concussion!

My Dad had a home movie camera and had a video that was taken around the late '50s-early '60s from when we went out to Lake St Clair for the day. I think it was an uncle who caught a brook trout that would've weighed about 5-6 pounds. I was too young to remember but my Dad got a good video of it. I didn't know St. Clair had brook trout.

My dad did alot of diving in the top half, off shore of Harrison Twp., Chesterfield Twp. & New Baltimore area. Mostly sand and clay, sandy silt on top, thick clay under it. very silty, and the shallowness with so much wave action makes the water more murky and muddy, not crystal blue like the northern Great Lakes. Although since the zebra mussel invasion, the water is alot clearer than it used to be.

Many boats are taken out in the winter?
@fredkaluza
4 ай бұрын
Yes. As they said in the video...many boats that are used during warm weather are taken out of the water and stored on-shore to reduce the chance of ice damage. Lake St. Clair is a fresh-water lake which freezes solid (ice thickness depends on how cold and how long). Boats that aren't removed typically have a air-pump/compressor/air-stone whose bubbles keep the water agitated around the hull and prevents ice from forming.

The answer is expensive. The storm and sanitary drains need to be separated, as right now they are shared. Whenever there is a large rain it overwhelms the drain, which leads to water treatment plants. During this time, the drains are diverted to the lake. So, separate the two systems and also make use of more natural ways to retain storm water, like ditches and engineered grassy low spots.
