Chubs, management, and everything else

fuzzy -- planting additional shiners is only a short term solution, that would actually just compound the problem. Again, an increase in forage will only produce an increase in walleye, which would cause a decrease in the forage, and an eventuall decrease in the walleye....see where I'm going? Somewhere you have to have a little balance...the DWR can't just continually raise fish to feed to other fish...it's just not logical. Nature needs to help out, and provide the forage fish. This is where water comes in. Again, the problem is water, not amount of forage. If you have water, you will get your forage. Without water, the forage disappear.
