The Dolly might be the most underrated game fish in the state. I have caught Dollies on the Upper *shhh!* to 11 pounds, and all over the rest of the OP. I seem to catch alot of them this time of year with spinners and spoons. When I catch a sizable Dolly in the tailout it pretty much assures me that there are bigger fish in the hole.

Good thing they taste freakin horrible or I might have killed a few more of them. Anyone I saw killing a Dolly and feeding it to the birds would get a 'piece of mind' (if there is anything left to spare).

I see them as a part of the balance installed by nature to maintain the health of the various ecosystems they inhabit. Seems to me that eggs dollies eat as they float by are doomed anyway, I highly doubt Dollies forage eggs that have been successfully laid in redds. Especially when the spawners are present.
