Thanks for all the feedback guys. I found an ex-fisheries biologist near my lake in Missouri that will do ES removal much cheaper than I would have thought. I am going to continue my rW analysis through the summer and fall then have him come out and remove fish next Spring - if the powers that be will comply. I will probably have to get a MO Dept. of Conservation written endorsement of my plan.

I think we'll hope to pull 30 lbs/acre and see what that does for us. If we need to pull again we will.
