Well I'm not sure how little stunted perch would any way hurt the trout fishing! If anything, it would give the trout something to eat. Take Oakley and Strike for instance! The trout caught through the ice this year were full of 3-4 inch perch! Not disagreeing with you that they are scum though! HOWEVER, all of the guys that are on this site that OVER HARVEST, are just as guilty for ruining our fishing! BUT, when you have a fish and game like ours that won't protect anything, it's hard to blame the fisherman! If you want to have better quality and more fish to catch, then we as fisherman need to be doing the protecting! We protect bass UNDER 12 inches in most all waters! W T F ? We don't protect any numbers or size of crappie, perch, bluegill or catfish!!!!!!! Why should any one person be able to take 100 perch or crappie out of Strike in ONE DAY? All those thousands of perch killed out of Strike were going to produce lots of baby perch to feed the rest of the lake! If people want good fisheries, then they better regulate themselves until the IDFG figures it out and puts more harvest and size regulations on warm water fish!!!!! I for one wish our fisherman were smart enough to figure this out on their own!!!
