Remember when they first started stocking cutthroats in the missouri how easy they were to catch....theyve been stocking them ever since, but i bet its been 13 years since
Ive caught one. Any ideas on what changed?

Trout are slow, fat, and shiny on the sides. NOT a good combo for being a small fish in the Missouri River. That being said, I think the hardest hit has come from the lack of smelt being run through the dam in the last few years. NOT counting this last year as holy floating fish batman have there been smelt coming through. Being a smolt in the tailrace sans LOTS of other dinner options, probably didn't bode well for multi year survival to a catchable size. The gajillion gulls, terns, and pelicans at the tailrace probably got their fair share of surface feeding trout as well. Just my armchair SWAG (Sophisticated Wild Ass Guess).

I wish they would stock more crappies. Maybe our waters can't support them but jeez it's fun getting into a bunch when the kids are with.

That, and I was also suspecting the hi numbers of big hungry pike in that part of the river...But it literally went from days of catching a dozen or more for a few years to absolute zero. I remember days you couldn't even troll cranks because you couldn't keep em away from the cutthroats. However, my rainbows and brown trout catch rates seem unchanged over the years.

It's surprising the guides in the Devils Basin don't have more influence on stocking of yellow perch. then again the NDGF did drop the daily limit.

No need most guides and other anglers did work on the 8 and 9 inchers this year. Didn't you see all the pics and reports?

You know I never check out those fishing guide sites, but still would not hurt my feelings if they stocked some more yellow perch or black crappie.
There is only two lakes that have been stocked up here in the basin for a few years with perch

- - - Updated - - -

I fished the towers areas and the black tiger Bay this ice fishing season a lot, those areas had literally hundreds of holes punched.

Good thing they are keeping up on the Pike stocking. Wouldn't want those numbers to get too low. ;:;banghead

The game and fish does not raise perch in the hatchery so they don't have the capacity to do large scale stocking. They just net stunted perch from one lake move them to another normally just before they spawn. If the lake for whatever reason can't support a self sustainable perch population they tend to walk away from the lake and take the lake off the list. Thus why most years if you compare the list of lakes to the year before some will be missing.

I did not know the Game and fish hadn't a perch hatchery. I hope with the lower possession limit might help with sustaining more perch.
