Josh you're 100% correct - if fishery is going to feature LMB, you're going to have to feed them. Since LMB and this planned fishery were in conflict with eachother, we started advising him to eliminate LMB as much as possible with multiple suggestions. Cool water fishery is possible with BG, just requires some management strategies. I still think fishing heavy for LMB and lake drawdown while they're on beds can work to control, or possibly eliminate population. No one has reportedly tried it yet on the forum, but we've seen it can work.

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