If you have followed the Asian Carp dilema, you know that the Great Lakes states - Michigan in particular - are trying to convince the federal government to take action in preventing the infiltration of these fish into the Great Lakes waters. While it is logical to most people that allowing an apex predator into the ecological system of these magnificent water bodies is not a great idea, the White House and US Federal Appeals Court don't seem to worried. After all, there are only 4 different types that area a threat to the Great Lakes (yes, not 1 but 4).
Last week, a report to the Great Lakes Commission confirmed that the food supply for the species is even better than originally believed. But it is all great...the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is studying the issue and the report is expected to be complete in 2015. You have to be @^$#%$# kidding me.
Oh well, I guess rather than sport fishing and boating on the Great Lakes and all of the inland lakes fed by direct tributaries , we will just try fishing this way...
