SSKY,

What makes you think the lake conditions are ideal for the native strain fish? Seems to me the only ideal situation would be to blow the dam and let the C river and tributaries return to their natural state. The native strain walleye adapted to river life durring it's isolation in the southern rivers. There is no proof, just some theories about it's ablity to thrive in the lake. I am certainly not trying to be negative, just realistic. I am all for studing the re-introduction of the rockcastle walleye into the Cumberland but let's not confuse facts with fiction. The "native sauger"? come on Scott, there is no way for you to know that those fish are native to KY/TN. The native walleye and sauger's native water is for the most part gone. Let us not forget that these lakes are man made, man managed and stocked. That's just the way it is now.
