Effect of Cormorants - 02/17/14 11:23 PM
I had an invasion of Cormorants on my 2 acre lake this winter. I think I've finally sort them out. However my problem now is to determine what damage they did to my young fish. This lake was completely restocked two years ago with LMB, HBG, CNBG, and BHM. What size fish would the Cormorants take out? I've read anything from 2 inches to 12 inches in length.
So if 4 to 12 cormorants eat daily (unless disturbed by me) for 30 days, how much damage can they do?
I'm considering adding GS early in spring to let the other forage fish rebuild their stocks. Does this make sense?
