We have a 35 ac small lake with PKS and their numbers are out of control because they tend to hold very shallow (Less than 6")in this particular lake with LMB and SAE (saugeye) present and still can't get the numbers under control. If this lake had much for vegetation shallow it would be worse. It's mainly riprap shore. Actually looking into NP for control. Introduce about 200 5-7" pike and have a 15" limit to let them be taken fairly quickly.
Our experience has not followed the guidelines established which proves the "it all depends" theory.
