The interesting thing about this subject is that it's so based on opinion on what is "better" in terms of perch or trout.
Illegal introductions are...illegal. As they should be. True statement.
But for many, much to the chagrin of some others, the perch in Fish Lake provide exactly what is wanted in a fishery. A desirable table fish, and plenty of them, which are generally easily accessed and caught.
It doesn't really seem fair or realistic to ask someone to complain about how terrible a fishery is thanks to a illegal introduction that took place 50 years ago right after they've spent a good day filling thier buckets on the lake and freezers at home with fillets. Not to mention having FUN doing it, the reason most of us choose to fish.
