You are correct on the number of cormorants over there. For a lake of that size, it has easily got to be the most densely populated with those birds. They'll wipe out half of the stocked fish by tomorrow...if not more.

I used to live 5 minutes from colonial and i can echo your statement about the number of cormorants there.
Today i scouted out a small stocked lake in Monmouth co and struck up a conversation with park ranger, he estimates that the cormorants there will take 1/3-1/2 of the stocked trout. This to me beyond ridiculous given the $ spent on licences and trout stamps and the time and effort the DoW&G puts into trout stocking.
