[quote chrome_junky]smartweed i started doing some research on the introduction of smallmouth to Idaho and coincidentally salmon returns for the pacific north west started to drop off not much longer afterwords. reports of dwindling fish counts started coming in in the late 1890's and early 1900's. so they really havnt done well after the introduction. Im not saying the smallies are the sole reason as to why the salmon numbers died off but im fairly certain they do their share of damage on the fry .[/quote]
Here's a little tidbit of info on the subject.
