The milfoil spraying raised some serious hell with the white perch spawn. The states biologist and Fish and Game are well aware but aren't saying much...just ask them when you see one.
Ask any fishermen who caught and kept salmon last year how much white perch fry they encountered when cleaning their salmon...hardly any will most likely be the answer! At least that's what I and everyone I spoke to found. The areas that were sprayed are / were excellent white perch habitat and that's why I believe it affected them the most.
While I agree milfoil is a big issue The long term eco effects of spraying far outweigh the benefits in my opinion. There just has to be another way...what that is I do not know...
