Yellow bass seem to have made some serious inroads on Barren River Lake.
Do you have any suggestions as to how we could blunt this attack of the Small Yellow, and help the bass, hybrid and crappie increase in size..
I had in the past suggested a no-limit situation but because the yellow bass is so close to the white bass in size and looks I was told it wasw not possible. However I believe that most fishermen in the state know enough about white bass to recognize yellow bass quite readily. Any regulation we suggest is not going to be recieved well due to the hybrid population in the lake being endangered by the no limit idea... however it seems that the more yellows there are the fewer hybrids the lake will hold..
So lets contact Fish and Wildlife concerning a new regulation taking the limit off of Yellow Bass. An educational program around the lake should blunt any problems with harm to the Hybrids. Is anyone with me on this.

PS.. as always this has nothing to do with the management of fishin.com, or its advertisers and is my idea as a fisherman.
