[#0000FF]I definitely agree about the basic differences in largies vs smallies. Both Deer Creek and Pineview were once great for largemouth but the smallies took over and pushed them into isolated nooks and crannies.
Have you made any effort to contact Drew Cushing? I have had conversations with him on the smallie issue but he is part of a political thing. Needs more pressure from more areas. And you would be surprised at how many DWR folks fish for non trout species...in some of our fave ponds.
Don't know what is doable and what is not...or what it is going to take to get some active attention. Having more concerned anglers making more noise and showing up for events is probably the best way to at least get the ball rolling.
PS...don't tell Cliff.
