Who really knows how it will play out. F&G will step up their netting surveys and try to figure out what the population is. When they finally did that on Lake Pend Oreille after reports of people catching them they netted thousands. I know or a few reports of people catching them over the last couple of years and even had a friend claim to catch one last year. No pictures so I never put much credit in the claims. Perch are already a forage for bass, trout, squaws and coho. What will be the result down the road is up for debate. My thinking is it will make for great fishing short term but will have a negitive effect long term.
