I will check out that article and thanks for summarizing it for me. I'd like to find the lakes closest to my area (Grand Rapids) that might have them. You said 40 new fisheries established but is there a list somewhere?
I also am curious if fisheries that were established by stocking really kept a population going but I guess the only way to know is to go fishing.
Time is very precious so it would be good to know ahead a target with a good chance of finding them.

I also wonder if lakes an hour south of me have a different enough climate to affect survival. I assume their ice pack would be same as ours. It seems the lake effect snow warm wind and lake effect snow really changes the weather. There 'snow bands' between us and Kalamazoo that always get way more moisture and lake effect snow compared with towns just a few miles north or south of them.
