I feel the water problem is the PH and lakes should be improving as phosprous amount flowing into water shed from decaying wood products should be getting lower, if all the wood slash could have been burnt back along in winter times when the heavy cutting was going on it would have helped water quailitynow a lot more. Ive read that Yellow perch growth improves a lot in lakes that have freshwater shrimp , after all my years throwing yellow perch back and feeding to Eagles I found out what a great fish they are to eat , It would be nice if they had more feed to eat, They run so small and every one throws back small fish which is a mistake as the population is so large each Female lays 23,000 eggs , we should Fillet them all or feed eagles!!!! a small perch filleted gives us more meat than a Scallop ??
