I have NEVER caught anything in dexter other than a squawfish (? think that's what it was called? I looked it up when I got home, UGLY fish, didn't look like it would be good eating, so I let it go, found out they deplete trout and salmon populations and are supposed to be retained, oops?) Maybe I'm just not fishing it right, but I've trolled all over that lake many, many times because it's close in and gas prices have been sucky. I've thrown everything I've got at those fish, and they just don't want it.
Lookout Point Lake is the biggest lake in Oregon and probably the most under fished. I believe there are some very large fish in there. I caught a 5 lb. trout and a trophy sized Squaw fish 24" or better. I thought I had one of the landlocked Salmon on. There are Walley and good Crappie also.
This is not good.
Pretty soon they will have a bounty on them too. Oh wait a minute, it's a sport fish. Never mind.
But if they are not native will they be considered a sport fish?:think:
Rather have Walleyes than "Zebra Mussels". At least Walleye are fun to catch and rather tasty for a shore lunch. With the Crappie population Lookout Point has it would surprise me if the fish population doesn't explode. They are a very successful predator to say the least.
Now this is just my opinion as an angler not as a moderator...
