Several of us have ask many Fisheries Science professors and practicing fishery biologists if they have ever seen or heard of RES stunting/overpopulating. All answer that they have not. If he has a stunted RES population we need to document the situation. Could they be PS ?
Thanks for the answers, I guess this explains why after 4 hours searching the web I haven't found anything about controlling RES. I guess I'm going to have to make a drive up there with my net and seine, maybe I can get Bill Cody to ride along since he lives about 15 minutes from me, or anyone relatively close to Toledo for that matter.
From what the owner conveyed to me, would it be possible that the RES were initially stocked with the CC in the very beginning, and then the LMB were added as fingerlings too late to grow out, and the RES are out-foraging them? Don't know much about RES.
