Illegally stocked perch
So after being out at Hasse, and hearing about Sundance and Enchant, I got to thinking about lakes with illegally stocked perch. Just how many of them are there now...I'm sure there's more than just those 3.
Of course once they're in there, they are almost impossible to get rid of, so what can be done? It's fun for a while to catch a ton of tiny perch, but it comes at the cost of the larger fish that actually belong in the lakes.
One guy we were chatting with out there said that Hasse also had a couple pike stocked to try to thin out the perch, and ghostguy6 said he saw a little one down the hole, so I guess that's good. It was also suggested that Hasse could be made into a good perch lake if they were to stop stocking the rainbows, and instead fire some pike in there to thin out the perch population.
