i believe they did not do well (read NO LONGER EXIST) once the lake was impounded due to lack of quality water and a river system (which is apparently essential to their ecological "well-being"). what would stocking sturgeon accomplish ? why enter another life form into the lake that has no chance of natural reproduction (read STRIPERS). seems to be a waste of (more) money to me. only thing i can remotely imagine is some sort of attempt to draw anglers here to somerset for some "world class sturgeon fishing". by the way i really got a laugh out of the idea of an angler catching a sturgeon from a belly boat.
ssky no matter what others say, i am with you on the idea of putting the proper walleye back in the lake. heck for that matter why not stock both strains. the erie strain to give the "numbers" and the native strain to generate the "hog 'eyes" our forefathers tangled with. at least no matter which of these two you might catch, it would be edible.

Merry Christmas to all on the board and have a safe and prosperous New Year.
