When doing DO and Temp measurements are you taking secchi disk readings? They can also provide valuable information.
Intensive fishing pressure and an overharvest of the bgill without any selective harvest or harvest limits, will in the not too distant future, result in decreasing the average size of bgill caught or harvested. You might be already seeing some of this occurring. It happens in lots of public access lakes. Soon anglers will be complaining about always catching too many small bgill. "Where are all the big bgill we used to catch?" In the near future, the over harvesters can be thanked for the changing size structure of the bgill population and the relatively poor quality of the panfishing.
