Norm, I do know that they originally added significant numbers Northern Pike to the lake but the NP did not seem to do very well. Hatchery raised musky were not available at the time. Both Branched Oak and Pawnee lake near Lincoln both have White Perch infestations. The WP only stunt in B.O. which also has a shad population which gives the predators something more preferably to eat. At Pawnee there is no shad population so the predators do a much better job at keeping the WP numbers down which prevents stunting.
Hopefully Bruce or Dr. Willis knows a little more about why the Pike equation did not work out.
