Shellcracker (Redear Sunfish) for Idaho?

I think you nailed it. It is virtually impossible in today's climate to get a different species introduced legally in any of Idaho's waters. And yes, I think both redears and white bass would be good additions to the still waters, but it will never happen.......legally. I use to fish for "wipers" in the midwest. A white bass/striper hybrid. I think they were considered reproductively sterile. One option for new species introduction might perhaps be a sterile hybrid.
