When I first moved here I never understood why mead was stocked with bows just assumed it was forage for other predatory species. From my understanding this is the last year mead will be stocked. Who knows what the effect will be?
Same thing goes for redear's who knows what the effect will be? I honestly think they will just become another meal bet the kitties would love em. If any of them survived they might put a small dent in the huge mussel pop. Don't get me wrong would love to catch and don't mind paying for the stamp.
But its already too late for this. We should of acted years ago. Later down the line if mead has not dried up we will dish out $$$$ to get ahold of the mussel problem.
I like the idea of stocking beneficial species into mead and creating some cover n habitat that would be the right road to go down. But it doesn't fix the mussel problem or more importantly the low water problem.
Just my 2 cents[cool]
