Great info guys. Pretty rare for this forum to have a species that hasn't had their impact on a pond be documented thoroughly. Hopefully we can change that over the next few years.
And I'm going to make that happen for a few of you guys, it's just not going to be in big numbers..
I've always thought it would be feasible for a private hatchery that rears their own walleye stock to obtain some Sauger males and have a continued SAE supply.
Yes, it requires space for the male Sauger and space for SAE only fry, but I do believe this fish has just not been around long enough for it to take off in the private sector. I hope that changes..
