Back to EpisodesEpisode 38: Can Super Trout Save our Fisheries? w/ Dr. Dan Schill
Description
On this episode of Outdoor Journal Radio, Ang and Pete explore a "new" method of invasive species control with one of the leading experts on YY Broodstock, Dr. Dan Schill.
First, however, a bit of housekeeping was in order. Topics discussed include: invasiveness; the third coming of the Round Goby; new anglers; jail time for fishing violations; falling in love with the east coast; being wayward; stopping the poisoning of the Miramichi; living without LiveScope; and a few items Ang and Pete never leave home without.
With those matters out of the way, the boys are joined by Dr. Schill to talk about his work with Trojan Male Brook Trout. Topics discussed include: being conflicted; why Brook Trout are invasive in the west; how the YY method works; Lake Trout in Yellowstone Lake; how invasives spread; store-bought fish being sex-reversed; Common Carp; whether the west wants walleye; how Canada should approach their Asian Carp problem; invasive smallmouth; the mystery of the Sea Lamprey; and much more!
