Mississinewa Lake Bass Angler Survey

[Last Smallmouth Hunter]

Mississinewa Lake Angler Survey:


Hey folks, I'm trying to put together a general profile of the smllmouth situation on the lake ahead of next year's fishery survey and project. What I'm trying to establish is a general window of:

A) when anglers began to notice a decline in the smallmouth in the lake, and

B) when anglers began to lose all contact with the smallmouth in the lake.

Hopefully this collective information will help to create a window of focus towards identifying the exact cause/causes.

So if you have experience with the declining smallmouth situation on the lake any information you can provide in terms of these years would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!


PS: Right now it appears that the noticeable decline began sometime around 2005 and accelerated from there. Does this sound about right to those of you who have suffered through this decline?
