[quote idahoron] What I would like to see is each region have it’s own Walleye, Bass, Cats, Perch, Crappie what ever when they can. Why should the guys in northern Idaho drive to twin falls for Walleye? Why should the guys in the magic valley drive to Brownlee? Each region should have areas to diversify when they can. [/quote]
I'm in the Salmon region. We have our choice of many lakes and rivers where we can fish for either trout, or trout, or trout. Sometimes a salmon swims by, a trout cousin.
I've talked to F&G and emailed them. I wish they could pick one little lake or reservoir and plant perch. One of my first emails got a response of two words, "no plans". The next email got a reply after 6 months saying it had been forwarded to the correct people for an answer. I'm still waiting over two years for that reply to show up.
One question about your plan to put flathead in the Snake. Do big flathead compete with sturgeon? I don't know the answer, but it seems they have similar feeding habits.
We tried Milner last week for catfish without much luck. This week we will try Ririe for perch and Brownlee for cats. And nothing in the Salmon region.
