Jordanelle Perch -- Good or Bad for Trout?

[cat_man]

I was just wondering what everyone's opinions are about the perch in Jordanelle. Obviously, the DWR never intended them to be there, although they are good eating and fun to catch. I believe that while it benefits the smallmouths, the perch are and will have a detrimental effect on the trout population. They compete with trout fry for food, and most likely eat the trout eggs before they get a chance to hatch. What does everyone else think?
