The food chain dilemma

[MoCarp]

Anyone who has fish our waters know fishing isn’t as spectacular has it has been in the past, there are exceptions….arguably Taney has blossomed with the new regulations, tweaks in regulations help…but can they be better? Many would say yes! Revisiting Crappie harvest regulations, perhaps put more pain to those who go on a freezer filling spree every spring….perhaps forage options….Mississippi/brook silversides…native herrings….turn zebra/quagga mussels in to monster sunfish….better native strains of walleyes..perhaps supplemental stocking of smallmouths to take advantages in spotted bass reductions…perhaps seeding daphnia….when lakes are drawn down seeding shorelines with oats or annual rye then as spring waters rise introduce daphnia to the new flooded vegetation, mimic the post flood year booms we see every few year classes…..worth studying….with new technology brings hyper pressures and new challenges…..
