I think we all know that perch were illegally introduced to Fish Lake. It seems like we all agree that illegal introductions of certain fish can spell danger to other fish in a specific fishery. Everyone is fine with that.
There are now lots of perch in Fish Lake. They've been there for over 50 years. Anyone can choose to look at this fact as a tragedy if they choose, and that's all well and good if that's your view on the current situation.
Not everyone will share that view though.
The way I see it, we can either sit home and wish the fishing was still as great for trout as it was 30 years ago, or we can go and try to enjoy the fishing as it is now, even if it is for perch instead of trout.
That's my view, and I'm no expert. I just like to catch fish.
