[QUOTE="KDM, post: 219776, member: 314"] Talking to an old timer that has fished Sak for 20 or more years would give you a better perspective IMO. Biologists want to keep their jobs, so they tend to produce information that leans towards them having to do more work on a subject. Ole' Grey Beard Fat Guy just wants to catch fish. Take their memories of what years they caught fish, how many, how big, and then start to compare it to water levels, reproductive success, and food availability and you will be begin to be able to see what factors are important to having lots of fish and lots of big fish. I can remember back in the mid to late 80's of catching dumb numbers of 5+ lb walleyes, then there were the mid 90's when catching fish was a bit harder, and now in the 2010's it's back to being a bonanza. There are reasons for that, but I prefer guys do their own research. It will usually make more sense to you. [/QUOTE]
