Brook trout in BSide

Great Outdoors, you are right about "environmentalist" probably putting the road blocks on that idea.

This is one of the rare instances of introducing one non native species to control another to help the native species already in place. Salmon will never be able to establish themselves in burntside, and yes they would put much more of a dent on the smelt than lakers ever could.

Yes, I'm with you guys in spirit as well, but it's wishful thinking.

Population's go up and down, lets not have a lake with one big fish that dies in four years and millions of small ones.

somtimes you gotta fight fire with fire. The beauty of the salmon thing is it only lasts four years. the lake has already been messed with as soon as a different strain was introduced even if it was lakers. I'm thinking that the DNR should do this just because they would never establish themselves in the lake and they could be studied when and where they try to spawn. It would take perfect conditions to perpetuate the speices, chances of that are slim to none. this would also be a revenue generator for the ely area and make for some interesting press. Come years 3 and 4 I'd be there summer and winter.

fishgutz77,

You obviously are unaware of how the environmentalist works in Northern Minnesota

Common sense is never part of their equation!!!!

I have not caught a walleye out of burntside this year but they have always been good. They are very fat, gut cavity full of fat.
