The intrigue is only beginning. I am keen to understand the progress made in control using the CC and boosting the panfish population. Metrics might be in order to guage progress. So it would be interesting to keep records of the weight of crayfish trapped, fishing effort (time of trap in water), number of traps set, and dates of efforts. With this kind of information you can quantify the effects of the management efforts to control them. A similar track may be to track vegetation changes and/or water quality parameters like DO or secchi visibility. Thanks for this thread QA. I appreciate both how and what I am learning from your experience.
