[QUOTE="deleted user, post: 443526, member: 1778"] The lake “growing” over nutrient dense shoreline was a plankton, bug, and fish multiplier for years. The same thing happens on Sak when the lake refills. Now that Devils is kept steady, I reckon that has a lot to do with the population leveling off. They’re still there, but I don’t see the amount of scuds in the lake that I used to. I do agree they should look into stocking, but a lake that size would probably need such an amount to make a difference they’d have to forgo stocking smaller lakes (that is just purely my own rube speculation, I don’t know the dynamics of perch fry to adult success). Any attempt by the game and fish to adjust limits on the big D will be met with the full force of the chamber of commerce / politicians, and the screeching of thousands on social media. Immediately followed by legislation that says they can’t do that. Guides are another topic altogether. They are still posting their cool “North Dakota gold” bucket dump videos every day so things must be good. [/QUOTE]
