[QUOTE="DocWatson, post: 367408, member: 112"] According to [url=https://www.seafwa.org/resource/dynamic/private/PDF/Copeland-180-187.pdf]this[/url] abstract smallmouth are [u]NOT[/u] native to the New River.... "Smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) are not native to the New River of Virginia (Jenkins and Burkhead 1993). They are a relatively new addition to the upper New River fish fauna (Haller- man et al. 2005). The historic native fish fauna consisted of few traditional game fishes, with the exception of channel catfish (Icta- lurus punctatus) and flathead catfish (Pylodictis olivaris) (Jenkins and Burkhead 1993)." And from Wikipedia.... "The smallmouth bass is native to the upper and middle Mississippi River basin, the Saint Lawrence River–Great Lakes system, and up into the Hudson Bay basin. Seems pretty definitive to me and I am certain that they are not native to that river system." Lastly, [url=https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:HOBXUV1zMdgJ:www.researchgate.net/publication/251618692_Predatory_impact_of_muskellunge_on_New_River_Virginia_smallmouth_bass/links/0c96051f6be06374e8000000+&cd=7&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us]this abstract[/url] states that the impact on the smallmouth population by muskie predation is minimal.
