Yes, it IS a head scratcher. Smallies thrive in Canada, the great lakes, and just down the road from the Berry in Starvie and the Gorge. Chubs seem to find enough zooplankton in the Berry, but smallies can't? Smallies also love crayfish, and the Berry would seem to be a banquet hall.
I agree completely that the DWR doesn't want them in there, but also can't understand why the ones that do find their way in don't survive well.
