How far North are you? LMB do have a northern range...if you're beyond it might be risky to attempt to build a fishery around them. Can you check with local waters and see what panfish [BG, PS] and whether they have SMB or LMB? Would help you make some decisions on what type of fishery to establish.

I'm pretty sure you'd be looking good with a YP, PS and SMB fishery, but you'd need to hammer the PS in order to keep their population in check and sizes optimal.

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau
