They are also considering moving forage around as well. Twin Valley is classic there. Tons of pike but they are just eating themselves so they are going to put perch and whites in to help as well as walleyes.
I know places they can get perch.

One year we live trapped about 40,000 perch in 3 days. Midnapore has tons of perch. Chaparral will soon enough have tons.

I would be curious as to how many perch our Fyke nets could catch with our reduced perch population.

Outside of that I would be curious as to where F&W would capture perch. Does twin have a minnow community?
