Well, the landowners around Badger Lake didn't want it rehabilitated with Rotenone, so this is what happens -- stunted Largemouth Bass that are washing downstream into Williams Lake.
Sad indeed, Badger Lake trout fishermen are being held hostage by two land owners; who refuse to allow WDFW to treat the lake. Also, thanks "Bucket Biologists" for putting bass, sunfish and even bullheads into the lake. I'm afraid Badger Lake will be the next Silver Lake (Spokane County); once a great trout lake; now a place no trout fishermen will go to fish.
Sorry you didn't do well fishing, but I am with the landowners and others that didn't want Badger poisoned. I am glad that the state actually listened and acted the way it did, it has helped restore some of my faith in the WDFW. I fish for all species and would like to see a multi-species lake around, not justt the rivers and larger lakes that are too far away. I hope your next trip is better.
