Too bad we can't do what the White Pine County game warden did back in the early '50's. The county maintained a rearing pond on the Swallow ranch in Spring Valley where they were rearing trout to stock in the creeks. Some kind of bird (I think it was probably a cormorant) took up residence in the pond and was decimating the fish. The warden got a goldfish about 4" long, hooked it with a fish hook that he tied to a sizable rock. He chucked it out into the pond and left. Next day the problem was corrected. One very dead bird hooked to a rock. I didn't mention that the line from the rock wasn't long enough to reach the surface.
