Not necessarily disagreeing with you, but wouldn’t people have caught walleye regularly if they were responsible?
I think all you can do is take the “time will tell” approach, because they’re there. My concern is for the perch fishery, yes, but also for downstream fisheries. People mention brownlee, the snake, but where the payette dumps into the snake you’re not far from the Boise, owyhee, etc. Not sure what walleye would do to the prized brown fishery up the owyhee, or if they’d even make their way there, but that’s more concerning in my mind. I’m a salmon and steelhead guy too, what’s the impact below hells canyon? I know they’re moving into those stretches anyway, but just a potential to hurt things more.
P.S. to all, with all the drama and Keyboard warriors on the Facebook reports, I sure do miss the more frequent reports on this board! Thanks to those who report here and respectfully share their opinions!
