[#0000FF]Before Chris Penne assumed his position with DWR, Craig Schaugaard was the project leader for Willard Bay. He was also happy to share information and published reports with me. Attached is a very interesting one covering the period from 1994 to 1999. On page 2 it lists some of the potential forage species tried by DWR to increase the food supply for the lake...before shad (BS)...including logperch.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Chris Penne has told me that there remains a small residual population of the logperch in Willard...in only a couple of defined areas where conditions are to their liking. They do show up in the stomach contents of predators from time to time and usually get the angler all twitterpated about "invasive species"...or whatever.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Haven't heard of any being found in Deer Creek so I guess the smallies and wallies ate them all...or they just didn't like the neighborhood.
