It was theorized that the decline in the population of big brown trout was a direct result of their voracious appetites for herring. They simply ate more baitfish than could be annually spawned. What is your take on the variety and amount of bait in the Valley?

Jigman pretty much got it... The Lakers are kinda of like a freshwater bluefish to me they eat anything and everything.... Most of the diet of the fish over there are tiny shrimp. There's bait in there but few and far between most of the time u will mark what looks to be bait balls but are actually small Lakers which the lakers eat as well a few of them i been cleaning have had them in their stomachs....
