Invasive species may have a new enemy to contend with in Ontario Lakes. An angler fishing in the Little Bluf Conservation Area (south of Picton, ON) snapped a photo of a watersnake chomping back a goby! Visit his website for the whole story and a larger photo. Gobies are one of the invasive species impacting Ontario fishing opportunities. What are some others?

The species causing concern right now are the goby, the rusty crayfish, zebra mussels, sea lamprey, ruffe, and lately much attention has been on VHS.
