Being against non-native fish is fine. Many of the most popular fish are non-natives. They,ve just been around so long they are thought to be native. I was merely making a suggestion that would solve all of your problems and help reach all of your stated goals in one, fun to catch species.

I beleive Kentucky stocks many public lakes with tilapia now, but they use the Nile which matures slower and eats far less algae, plus dies around 60 degrees.
