Humpy, I totally agree with you on the Pikeminnow comment. Even though I have made several thousand dollars catching them, it is so obvious that they are just a scapegoat, cause they have no value to anyone in the water. Walleye do eat alot of smolts, but since they are good eating we try and protect the fishery. There is nothing wrong with that really, since predation is the least of the problems with the dams. If the dams weren't there, the problem wouldn't exist.
