There used to be many large trout in the lake both rainbow and browns.   Rarely see them anymore.  Maybe some Wallys would help! ;D

Seem to be fewer and fewer big browns, for sure.  Wonder if it could have something to do with more silt and poor quality of water coming in?  That could be affecting the trout spawn (predator population) and then also altering the macroinvertebrate abundance that the perch feed on.  Double-whammy.   :P

After they drained it in 2008 (wasn't it?) there was a huge fire upstream in 2012, which has messed with silt and runoff all these years.
I think perch can reach 10" in 6-7 years with good lake productivity, sooo...where are they?  Some major stuff going on in that lake.
Flags up, gentlemen!!!

There are at least 3 southeastern wyoming lakes that now have illegally stocked walleye in them that i have heard of.  But based on which lakes it is, Im guessing someone is deliberately putting them in all of the lakes they would have a good chance of surviving.

It started a long time ago, from a famous member  ;)

When you become a fisheries biologist; D maybe when you were busy working, you must did some online classes.

lake would definitely benefit from some butthole throwing in some pike, lol
