Shellcracker (Redear Sunfish) for Idaho?

[SmartWeed]

About 30 years ago we had a series of meetings about improving Lake Lowell fishing. There was the Idaho F&G, USFWS, Bureau of Reclamation, etc., along with a few interested fishermen. During those meetings I learned how hard it is to introduce new species into Idaho waters. Since almost every waterway eventually drains into the Salmon and Columbia, permission had to be granted by every entity that might be affected by the introduction. That included Oregon, Washington, the Feds, etc. The Idaho F&G fisheries biologists wanted to introduce White Bass (Sand Bass) into the lake but eventually gave up due to all the red tape involved, even though they felt that White Bass would be ideal in Lake Lowell.

Good Luck.
