Moore Reservoir walleye??
fishingidjit:
Moore dam used to be full of large trout but the pike have decimated the trout fishery. Walleye would be a great addition but trying to get a Vt. biologist to change his/her mind is near imposssible. Look at the temporary rules for Seymour/Little Averill that have been in effect for a dozen + years. Look at the bait rules , the spike horn rules and the CWD rules etc. ::)

There was a post all about this very topic in relation to Moore on here last year I believe. Personally, I am a proponent of not introducing new fish into waterways where they haven't been historically. Seen too many trout ponds and rivers destroyed by pike and bass.

There was zero trout caught at this summer's Derby from what I was told.

The pike and bass are already in the waters , the trout population has already tanked . This is why walleye would be a nice addition to what is now a warm water fishery.

Yeah, I think we oughta just let it be. Shouldn't keep dumping new species into new waters because they can spread. I don't see the fact that the trout population has tanked as being a good rationale here.
