[quote Fishrmn]Some folks have better luck at catching dinky perch. They would rather that than risk being skunked trying to catch a Mac.[/quote]
if that's the case, then they could drive another 5 miles and fish Johnson. Or, any plethora of other lakes in Utah with stunted populations of perch. We don't need them in EVERY lake!
You could take home more pounds of trout from Fish Lake than you currently take home in pounds of perch, if there were no perch in Fish Lake. Remove the perch, bring back the chubs, and then watch what happens to the splake and lake trout. Instead of catching 100 perch in a day, you'd be catching 100 seventeen inch splake in a day....
(when we were kids fishing at Fish Lake, we would have those days where 100 splake were a certain possibilty. Of course, that was before the perch took over. We also caught lots of 5 - 8 pound lake trout, which are next to non-existent today.)
