I would use the gizzard shad to my advantage to keep growing insanely huge gamefish! Keep the bass how they are, dont stock any more. Then stock the tiger muskies ASAP. Also this fall I would start a WALLEYE stocking program as well. Stock them heavy due to the abundance of forage: 40-50 per acre every year and encourage folks to catch and eat the big fish!!!

After a few years you may want to introduce more gizzard shad to keep fueling the most popular fishery in Michigan.

How big is this lake?
