Dear lord,is it bazz whole season again already?I thought we already had this discussion just a few months ago?
Smallmouth bass are quite likely THE most predatory,prolific,scum of the river invasive species that one could possibly introduce to any native trout fishery,and Bill Dance wannabe bucket brigade b*******s are the biggest threat to any salmonid habitat within trailering distance of an established SMB population.Approximately 70% of Nova Scotia's and 50% of New Brunswick's Atlantic Salmon and brook trout habitats have been irreversibly lost forever to the illegal introduction of SMB.
In my relatively short lifetime,I've witnessed watershed after watershed in southern NB overtaken by SMB,completely destroying the native trout fisheries I grew up with....the situation in NS is even more dire!!
Is this the fate we want for the world famous,blue ribbon trout fishery that is the Bow River?
