yes. thank-you Ronbill for your insightful and informative posts.
your statement “Without proper algae, there is no large zooplankton. Without large zooplankton, there is no planktivorous (forage) fish. And without planktivorous fish, there are no piscivorous fish (with time),” to me does sum up the current status of the ecology in question and makes sense. that combined with the determined current poor habitat (both walleye spawning/rearing and baitfish) noted by the SRD, brings me back to my questions posed back in post #100.

if yourself as well as some of the other government connected members could comment on my questions, i’d like to hear any thoughts and suggestions concerning habitat improvements. one way or another.
thanks,
