It will be interesting to see whether they come back marked or unmarked. It's good information, but you've got to do it for more than a year or two to put the pieces of the puzzle together. |
One thing you find out when you net a lake this size is there's a lot of variability. One net will be loaded with fish, and another will have hardly any. You try to reduce the variability with a larger sample size. |
There's still young-of-the-year fish out here, but it's not what you would label a strong year-class, that's for sure. I was hoping for something exciting this fall with the yellow perch catch, but it's not going to materialize. |
We can run anywhere we want today and not have to pay for it. |
We haven't seen anything close to that in the last four years. |
We know that, but whether one can do anything about it is another thing. We will try to stock perch again next spring, judging by what we're getting here. |
