Just wondering if anyone had pictures of cow lakes winter kill, a buddy of mine and i had a fight last spring about how this lake never winter kills. He was sitting up on his soap box giving me the gears about how i knew nothing and bla bla bla, i was like watch and see cow lake always was a 3-5 year lake. Most of those little stocked lakes out west are the same about once every 3-5 years there is a cold long winter that takes it toll on the trout (as trout are very oxygen sensitive) Pike and perch can survive longer periods with low o2 levels.
Hence the reason perch did so well in that lake, some would say they did to good and became over populated. I tend to disagree the over populated statements, with a 15 perch limit, the number of fish was doing ok, I was personally able to catch my limit of 9-11 inch perch pretty much every time i took the kids out there. If the people want a good Trout lake crimson lake is perfect, deep holes to help with winter kill, and it has a few year round campsite and parks that would help with the aeration.
