LOL, what makes you think the wipers would not eat for 5 or 6 months, you hatred for any idea, other than yours, of poisoning that lake, has you not thinking right. It does not matter if there is ice on a lake or not those wiper will still be eating, as long as there is fish to eat and what about the crawfish there, don't you think those are on a wiper's menu. The most likely reason they did not catch any wipers in their nets is because of the small numbers they stocked and that we did not put their nets where the wipers were. The same thing happened at Willard a few years past, the DWR were not putting their nets in the locations where the fish were, the result were few fish were showing up in their gill net survey, TubeDude suggested they move their nets or increase their coverage and low and behold the next year they started finding those fish. The first years gill net survey means very little IMO but we will see how it goes as time goes on but I think in the future there will be a different outcome. This conversation is doing little to change the outcome of what is already in motion, you naysayers are only beating a dead horse at this point.
