Please be sure to thank the DWR for feeding my Walleye!!!!!
I am curious to know the cost of this walleye food maybe the money could be better spent stocking perch instead of a species that no one cares about, or is this a species that we all should care about?
Does the June Sucker add any significant atribute for the ecosystem? Or is the June Sucker just a native fish that the DWR wants to save?
I know that we live in a trout state and warm water species are not DWR's main focus (I heard this straight out of a bioligist's mouth) but I beleive that the majority of BFT's do fish for warm water species and we care about their health.
I am addicted to Walleye fishing and keep them in highest regards along with catfish, why because they are my favorite species to eat. I do however love eat perch and crappie and I feel most of the time in Utah waters that they are on their own as far as surviving goes.
Macks (Lake Trout) in my opinion are a trash fish and to be acurate they are not even a trout they are a Artic Charr. I have eaten a few Lake Trout and feel that they are not very good and cannot compare with Walleye, catfish, Crappie, Yellow perch, White Bass, and many others yet they are deemed important in maney Utah waters.
Would we have Walleye in DC if they were not illegally stocked?
I am just venting a little don't pay any attention to me I would just like to see more warm water species get the attention they deserve and not have money spent where either it is not effective or just not justified.
Thanks,
