EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO SALMON AND TROUT ASSOCIATION
      Over 30 years have passed since a handful of local Oswego County, NY anglers formed the Eastern Lake Ontario Salmon and Trout Association (ELOSTA). It was evident to these far sighted individuals that the then blossoming Lake Ontario salmonid fishery was here to stay. It was also obvious at the onset that the utilization of this vast resource would draw a great deal of attention and pressure from competing interests. With that in mind, ELOSTA focused its efforts upon the development of resource management practices that provide equitable consideration for the various angling preferences and, related recreational and boating interests.
Today, more than ever, this goal is being challenged by ill conceived economic constraints and uninformed single interest groups. In addition, invasive species including quagga mussels, round gobys, spiny water fleas, and crested cormorants etc. have severely altered or eliminated several indigenous
prey species which are the foundation of the lake’s dynamic
ecosystem.
Changes are inevitable and anglers will  continue to be asked to
make their positions known regarding  environmental studies, stocking
proposals, State and Federal fiscal constraints, and fishing and
boating regulations. ELOSTA offers an opportunity to be Informed and to
actively participate. It alsoprovides a monthly forum for its 340 plus
members to become acquainted, discuss fishing conditions, compare tactics,
and, on occasion, to describe in great detail where and how that big one
managed to get away.
