I can’t help but wonder if the introduction of tiger muskies and wipers (and discussions of walleye) is an attempt to establish predatory fish that are not only more aggressive, but also more tolerant of poor water quality versus coldwater gamefish.

This would still have been part of the plan after a rotenone treatment. Rotenone doesn't only benefit the trout.
Right now, wipers and tm's are in the lake. However, just like any other fish, they still have to compete against the prolific population of rough fish. This competition promotes SLOW growth! We all should now by now that in order to get big fish you want FAST growth!
like Fshrmn continues to point out -- we've been waiting on this fishery for over 20 years!! Why are we still waiting?
You could have been catching larger fish TODAY if the lake would have been treated last year.
But, we'll just continue to wait....
