Them black cormorants are the worst thing there is as far as impacting fish populations since not only they can get down deep but can also stay underwater for like at least a couple of minutes at a time plus often times they flock in groups of 50, 100+, wish they would put an open season on them damn things & kill them all since they are nothing but a nuisance bird[bobmad]. Cormorants & pelicans are a big problem in the American Falls Reservoir too & in the river above and below the AF Reservoir. Not only every time they dump planter trout in the spring at the American Falls Reservoir over by Aberdeen the cormorants & pelicans end up getting like 80 - 90% of them in like a few days time I put most of the blame on cormorants on why the perch population in the American Falls Reservoir isn't near as great as what it could be but of course dropping the reservoir down real low on some years don't help either.
