Given that assumption, tiger muskie should be a year round fish. Rainbow trout are doubtful, though I'd dearly love to have them long term. An advantage of both TM and RBT is that they won't reproduce, so won't take over the pond.

So I have two questions. In such a scenario, assuming the can opener, what would the impact be on existing stocks of LMB, CNBG, and HSB? If LMB could drop down to where the temps are very comfortable & still have plenty of DO, would it help their health? Their growth?

Second, if TM could survive & thrive, say 1 per acre, would this lessen the risk that stocked gizzard shad would take over? TM are great sportfish, but their primary value would be to keep down excess LMB numbers and, if stocked, GSH. They get plenty big enough to eat a 12 to 14 inch GSH, similar to a 6 lb plus LMB or 7 lb plus HSB.

The goal would be to significantly increase trophy LMB prospects due to GSH forage and reducing LMB numbers via TM.

Given the assumption of working oxygenation, do you think this would work? If not, what would be the issues?
