Good discussions. WE, SE, and sauger are more adapted to life in moving water compared to LMB. Those adaptations are not just focused on visual or sight feeding abilities, but other ablities to live & thrive in moving water. Sauger have better abilities to live in moving water than WE. SMB are also well adapted to life in moving water thus they usually do better than LMB in stream conditions.
That explaines why I have only caught Sauger down here in the river! We have a big lake here called Greers Ferry that we can catch some really nice WE in if you know where to go, but I have never caught any SE in it, but there is no moving water in it either. I never thought of that. Good info Bill!!
