Ririe Walleye

[MMDon]

[quote mr.jigr12]OMG SERIOUSLY? There isn't enough of a population to fish for but there is enough to ruin the rest of the lake??????? And yet, not a single picture has been submitted to prove they are in there! First of all if the lake has perch, bass, chubs, suckers, crawdads and a few others that were mentioned, and there aren't enough walleyes to fish for, then what makes you think the Kokanees are in jeopardy? Like I said for the third time: those bass are far more prolific and aggressive than walleyes are!!!! And if all these bass guys are catching them as you say, obviously YOU are talking circles!!! If they are catching them, then I suggest getting with them and having them teach you how to catch them, so you can save the Kokanee!!!!![/quote]

Any fish biologist will tell you that fishing pressure has very little effect on invasives or any rough fish and is a folly as a control. The biomass always determines the success or failure of any species. Your aggressive smallies are all ready stunted in Ririe yet you don't believe the walleyes will find the same fate as the food source is reduced? I hardly need someone to teach me how to catch them but then you probably don't know my fishing background so I appreciate the offer.

Time will tell. I'm out on this thread!
