[QUOTE="Zum, post: 329612, member: 349"] Smallmouth were legally introduced over here in the 50"s(in 2/3 lakes),all our systems had native brook trout. Between bucker biologists, poor natural habitat, acid rain, logging , the introduction of smallies and the illegally introduced chain pickerel,a lot of our water ways don't hold any trout. There is probably more reasons even than the ones I listed but any fish introduced into a new environment is going to compete with the native fishes. Smallies or pickerel can handle the heat better, more aggressive and just heartier,in my opinion. I feel a little like a hypocrite because I love to catch smallmouth and chain pickerel but if they were never introduced here, pretty sure brook trout would have been on top of my list. [/QUOTE]
