All that Google keeps spitting out at me is studies that indicate how stocked smallmouth negatively effect trout populations. Perhaps they can venture into colder water than you believe?

We all know that they introduced smallmouths into some lakes in Alberta but i've yet to find an article showing any negative effects on native. Perhaps i'm missing it some place if you know of any article could you possibly post a link. I have sent e-mails to SRD and my wild alberta and have received nothing other than an acknowledgment of my e-mail. any incite you could give would be appreciated.
