The rock pile above the bridge holds a ton of squawfish.  I dropped the camera down and saw a school of maybe 8-10 fish just sitting there.

A "Squawfish" looks a lot like a Walleye, except it's silver/grey vs. gold/bronze, and has zero teeth. They fight a lot like a wet towel...only slightly worse than a similarly sized Walleye. Hope this helps! I think there's a picture in the DF&W Regs. Oh...I always release mine alive, but they are always deep hooked in the gills. Carp, too. Odd, eh? Wink
C&R, Steve

I've allways been told to "fillet and release" as well to "support the local wildlive," (I thought they were talking about the Eagles,) Roll Eyes after all beings they are on the endagered list it would be concidered the "doing greater good"  Wink  As far as PBC in the perch, I heard that a serving of tyson chicken has 3 times the PCB than that of a perch....... makes you wonder.???
