I would like to see a study on the impact that trout stocking has had on the smallmouth population in the creeks in southeast Kentucky. I have noticed over the last 10 years the number of smallmouth has fell off in clear creek which runs through bell county and feeds the Cumberland River. I love trout fishing but I have a theory that the rainbow trout are affecting the spawning numbers of smallmouth bass by eating their eggs.
Putting a stop to commerical fisherman would help the catfish population
Can that be done on other lakes for blue catfish
