Dave, the Saugeye have established a name with state agencies as the best tool to use as a control fish for either massive populations of small or stunted panfish. Nobody has a good answer to why but they prefer the shape of small panfish species, add in the hybrid vigor and you have a panfish eating machine. Most states that grow them are using them where Walleye don't recruit well, or in enough numbers it's worth the effort.. Here's the key..Saugeye do well in more turbid, warmer water conditions than Walleye but taste is the same. Saugeye are also faster growing.
