ewest, there is such a difference in mortality rates for different species. We catch many of these fish 25-50 times a year. Remember, we only fish from two spots and the fish in these areas are caught over and over again. The fish in other areas are caught seldom, if ever.
SMB and HSB are the back bone of our fishery so I'll stock more of these and less of other species. After these two, HBG and rock bass are the next two most important. Lastly, everyone wants to catch a walleye so I have to restock them.
What I'm doing is no more than planting a garden every year. I look at what grows in my area, what people like to eat and adjust accordingly.
