I wish there was a way they could poison that lake without killing everything downstream. [/reply]
You mean like setting up a potasium permanganate station to neutralize the rotenone? That's possible, and used all the time. Poisoning a lake doesn't mean that the stream going out the lake also get's poisoned. However, I don't believe that Mill Meadows needs to be poisoned.
The problem with Johnson is NOT perch. It's water quality. Until the water quality problem is solved, the lake will always go in extreme cycles.
