Some interesting observations, not so much regarding walleyes, but definitely panfish: 89% of the bluegills were over 8 inches - wow! Sounds like a great place to pitch a popper in the springtime. In particular, I'm interested in the drawdowns to defeat perch and the stocking of shiners as a forage base. I've not heard of this before. Has this been widely attempted? Is there evidence to suggest that policies like this may be more (or less) effective than Panfish Enhancement regs?
It's good that PFBC surveys like this one that target certain species, in this case walleyes, also provide data on other species.
Bummer about the muskies, but this is lake is on the small side for the big toothies and perhaps the habitat wasn't suitable.
