I'm wondering about long-term. I've always thought that a balanced fishery can be somewhat self-sustaining, with a tweak here, and an adjustment there occasionally. But an unbalanced, CPR driven BOW? Will it run its course, (fish wise) and then start a gradual decline, without an aggressive, hands-on stocking program, like those of us with put and take ponds are used to dealing with?
Tony,
I believe those are the same concerns and questions that Bob Lusk is struggling with. For him, they are on a much larger land-use and monetary scale than you and I are dealing with as mostly very serious hobbyists.
