ACH !!! Stripers in Willard, Don Andriano is turning over in his grave !! Stripers in Willard is not a good idea, you would not be able to control the population. Stick with the Wiper program, because there are so many other waters that are benefiting.
As to the problem with White Bass growth! The lack of a forage species in Ut. Lake is the primary reason they cant grow bigger. However, there may be a genetic component there also because there has been stunting for so many years. Someone with more edumacation than me will have to answer that one. While the WB have their young of the year to prey on, everything else preys on them and the numbers never cease to diminish ! The size of the channel cat,walleye, and LMB, seem to be fairly stable on the WB diet, so my guess is there is some genetic component involved also !
Again,, NO STRIPERS IN WILLARD, very bad idea !!
