Re: Flatbrook Survey
Until the Cormorant issue is resolved the stocking of trout in my opinion is a huge waste of our money.
These birds eat trout year long. The most disturbing part is that two weeks prior to the Spring Opener these birds have already eaten a huge percent of the trout stocked. Once they trout have been decimated they move on to another lake and continue the cycle. It seems they know when to come for their easy meal each Spring.
You can go to any lake in the state and see these predators at work.
I don't mind losing fish to Ospreys, Eagles, otters etc.
Every year it seems these birds grow in population. I don't remember them in the 80's or 90's.
