South Dakota is strongly considering adding Atlantic Salmon which appear to handle the warmer waters of South Dakota better and can switch to other prey if Rainbow Smelt numbers decline. Maybe Atlantic Salmon would be a better option for ponds if 200 feet of water in South Dakota doesn't stay cool enough. South Dakota has delayed its Atlantic salmon plans due to difficulty in obtaining eggs. They are now in negotiations with Chile to get Atlantic Salmon eggs. My geography must be off.
