Bass blamed for trout and salmon troubles in New England lakes
Wayne Hooper argues that bass is not the sole culprit in trout and salmon declines. He urges targeted stocking reform and catch and release, suggesting larger stocked fish, night stocking, and increased bag limits for cusk, pickerel, perch, and lake trout to restore balance in New England waters. Hooper notes local records and reflects on angling culture along the Seacoast.
