[cool][#0000ff]Trout are tender and need managing.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Perch are unmanageable. They are either there or they're not, and they populate like crazy when conditions are right...and die off when they're not.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Anglers have far less effect on the perch populations than other "natural" factors, like food supply, spawning habitat and predation from other species. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]There is no way DWR can anticipate yearly fluctuations in perch numbers, or do anything to change the course of nature.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The best we can do is enjoy the heck out of them when they are plentiful and wait for them to come back when they crash.[/#0000ff]
