[QUOTE="Still_Learnin', post: 80837, member: 1704"] I believe the reason that they wouldn't want to transport them to another lake is largely based on the possibility of transferring some type of a disease to the new body of water. There's always a chance that the fish for the lake (In this case, Raliegh) could have some disease that could spread at another lake if introduced. And I'm sure the logistics of the whole thing wouldn't make it worthwhile for G&F. Just my guess though.
