Easy cheesy, both Bass and Walleye are non native species to both Columbia River and lake Washington. They consume more then 24 million smolt annually, a bass upwards of one per day and Walleye upwards of two plus per day, Salmon and Steelhead are Native and suffering at the hands of these predators. Time to eradicate the non native species or remove the Dams that hold the smolt back.

It is not a matter of the Walleye collapse, they don’t belong in the first place, save our salmon and steelhead and whales. That should be the priority. No barging required then
