[QUOTE="camoman, post: 143767, member: 571"] Very cool. My only thoughts on the matter reach in quite a different direction though. Which of the sources of extirpation caused the greatest decline of Lake Michigan lake trout - overharvest or sea lamprey? If the sea lamprey are still present in the lake, I don't feel that a reintroduction would be all that successful. The fish from Elk Lake are the same genetic line of fish that were extirpated from Lake Michigan, meaning they too have no co-evolutionary traits to aid in their survival of lamprey attachment like ocean dwelling fish. In addition, how will reintroduction of these fish affect the currently existing strain of lake trout in Lake Michigan. Too many questions unanswered in my opinion to be rushing into reintroduction. Maintain their population in Elk Lake, absolutely, relict fish are awesome, but be vary careful about how you manage their introduction (reintroduction) to another water body. [/QUOTE]
