I'm assuming the DNR has heard enough complaints from folks like me about the quality of the Patoka fishery. I've long said if you're a bass fisherman, then Patoka must seem like Heaven. But for a panfisherman it's simply a sorry excuse for a lake. The Walleye will put a hurtin on the shad numbers and this lake will soon prosper with hog bluegill and redear....just like it should.

Patoka needs to be a balanced fishery and it hasn't been in years. I know some very serious panfisherman and they absolutely will not go to Patoka because of this.
