The key there is forage !! without a stable forage population, the lake will continue to have problems. Perch are the main forage currently, but they don't have the recruitment to sustain the fishery. Gizzard Shad might be okay, but hell will freeze over before they get permission to put them in the pond. You could transplant chubs and shiners from Strawberry and Scofield, but that has a slim chance also. The sterile Walleye are an interesting development. It has always been a perplexing fishery, even more complicated with the Northerns.
