[QUOTE="remm, post: 290893, member: 821"] Fishing is good for a number of years, word gets out, people keep coming and soon the fish numbers will decline. I don't give a dam what the biologists/g&F say. You can't keep taking fish out of a lake and expect to keep catching them. DL has been on the decline as far as numbers of nice fish for the past few years. A few years back you had a hard time catching walleyes under 18'' on the west end of the lake, then the pelican boat landing opened, parking lot filled up for a couple months, people kept every fish, now those 18-25" fish are much harder to come by up there- still there, but not nearly as plentiful as when it was harder for people to get there. That's about the time people starting catching bigger fish east, won't be long and they'll pull em all out of there too. Check with the guides this winter and ask how perch fishing has been, then look at the pics of perch getting shoveled out of snobears everyday last winter. Huh... wonder why they can't find those fish this winter. Sak is going to go through the same cycle. I know it's not completely fishing pressure that does it, but it plays a much bigger part than the "experts" and tourism departments want to admit. I haven't fished Sak in quite a number of years and I know your question was directed there, but I think they are similar circumstances. [/QUOTE]
