White perch discovery at Kansas reservoirs shocks biologists
Kansas fisheries biologists found white perch at Wilson and Cheney reservoirs while collecting population data. The non native species, native to eastern coastal regions, was previously found only at Browning Oxbow near the Missouri River. Possible inadvertent stock from Nebraska experiments or Virginia striped bass fry is being investigated. Hunters must submit deer report cards to aid population assessments, as mandatory data collection continues to guide future management. The 1997 Kansas Fishing Regulations Summary will be available after Jan 17 at regional offices, detailing lengths creel limits for over 140 waters and fish identification tips.
