[QUOTE="Allen, post: 344735, member: 389"] The bottom line for Sak (including Audubon) and Oahe is that the fisheries people have always known that their time as a premiere walleye fishery is going to be limited. Shoreline erosion continues to push sediment out into the shallow waters which makes them even more shallow and eventually you end up with something more to the liking of large mouth and smallies. Am I happy about this, not really since I much prefer to eat walleyes, but it is an inevitable result of the maturation of those bodies of water. I think the fisheries guys are rushing the eventual transformation by stocking the bass in the name of providing opportunities for bass anglers. I know back when they first started really throwing the smallies in Sak they claimed they wouldn't compete with walleyes for food and habitat, which seemed every bit as disingenuous then as it would sound today given the number of smallies I catch while walleye fishing, but such is life.
