Im sure they factor in mortality rate upon stocking and probably have an idea of how many fish will even make it past the first month…. So they assume a lot of fish are going to die by natural mortality and then they factor in angler harvest as well. That’s kind of my point as well. They know that it’s inevitable they’ll have mortality. And actually the mortality rate in a probably 95% of our little lakes is 100%. Without stocking efforts there wouldnt be fish. So if there’s no harm to the forage nor any severe impact why not dump 5k lakers in sakakawea sporadically <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🤷🏼" title="Person shrugging: medium-light skin tone    :person_shrugging_tone2:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f937-1f3fc.png" data-shortname=":person_shrugging_tone2:" /> or 10k cutthroats or browns or rainbows….. they don’t seem to mind knowing all those walleyes won’t survive so why do they care if 5k lakers eventually die…. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🤷🏼" title="Person shrugging: medium-light skin tone    :person_shrugging_tone2:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f937-1f3fc.png" data-shortname=":person_shrugging_tone2:" /> why would they care about a few thousand cold water fish dying when half a million salmon die yearly and just as many walleyes die statewide…. Isnt the point of stocking, especially these little ass lakes for angler enjoyment…..so how is 5k lakers that will probably die but could provide angler enjoyment any different?….. we stock little lakes knowing they’ll die…. How come the conversation turns to “they’ll never make it in Sak” with lake trout…. Who cares <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🤷🏼" title="Person shrugging: medium-light skin tone    :person_shrugging_tone2:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f937-1f3fc.png" data-shortname=":person_shrugging_tone2:" /> if 35 fish make it to 15-20 pounds and an occasional trout is caught then I’d say it’s worth it when you consider the mortality rates of other fish rhey seem fine with……</p></blockquote><p></p>
