Yup and the main problem now is that they keep running around in circles chasing their tail. Recover one lake while hurting 3 others.

They have successfully recovered walleye populations in many lakes but at the same time have destroyed pike and perch populations across the province in doing so.

They need to come up with a plan that can sustain fishing pressure for all species in all waterbodies. They can't keep playing recovery changing their focus from lake to lake and species to species. As you say they need to start being proactive instead of reactive, address the issue before it is an issue not wait for the netting data to scream houston we have a problem...
