Discussion about perch in Fish Lake

[fish_fear_me2]

I agree there arent any great perch fisheries in Utah, I do think the introduction of perch and possibly invassive vegetation have had an impact on Fish Lake. I also believe there are far too many variables and unanswered questions for us to say what this lake might have been. As I mentioned before the fond memories of all the BIG trout you could catch are a bit exagerated. It was a great Fishery but not as great as some on here want to say it was. There were a lot of times one had to work hard for fish. To moan about something that was done 60 years ago, in the name of educating the masses, seems a bit mundane. Those bucket biologist from 1960 probably got what they wanted from their illegal deed. I dont think education will deter many who are inclined toward that sort of activity. Most of us agree that bucket biology is creating havoc in many of our fisheries. Those that dont agree wont be moved by the education provided here. The perch problem is there, I will let the experts figure out a plan to fix that. There are still many people that are happy catching a bucket of those perch.
