There is a crazy amount of gammarus in the lake, anything that would eat the shrimp and could hide would be a good bet to get more biomass moving up the food chain.

This sums up nicely the dangers of "arm chair" fisheries management.
We've had someone with actual knowledge of the lake explain rather clearly what the issues are, and yet, we still have people proposing all kinds of rash ideas that are counter to that explanation to "improve" the fishery.
IF there is a disease, it's critical to make sure the "cure" isn't even worse.
