id like to see it especially at siltcoos lake, there use to be a awesome perch fishery there up until the cormorants showed up and basically wiped out the fish population... prob is odfw is to liberal and scared to do such a thing cause of getting sued once again from some bird loving audabon society or wildlife support group even though those damn cormorants are a invasive species and are some how protected?!?!?!
From the article: States considering management measures, such as Texas and Oregon, have contacted South Carolina DNR officials for details surrounding their recent—and for hunters, very successful—season.

What's not to love about birds? Cormorants (a non-invasive, native species) and salmon got along just fine for many thousands of years, as did pikeminnow and salmon.
On the other hand, while I don't have a personal problem with perch, they're an invasive species that doesn't belong here, and competes with native fish.
Does that help?
I agree with this guy.
If you're going to kill pikeminnow at least make sure it's a pikeminnow. (Killing them doesn't do anything anyways, especially on rivers outside the Columbia affected by dams.)
