I will admit I do love catching the Lakers in Qt they are a great fight. In the Great lakes they are like realing in an old shoe. I think I will pass on trying the LT unless thats all we catch. Agree. I've had cold water lakers (not Great Lakes) that taste bleh when compared to other species.

	Android, In most if not all MN water the small mouth bass is a native species. The small mouth bass is not native to the Arctic watershed. At the gathering in Madison at Canoecopia, I spoke with Doug from WCPP about smallmouth bass. In the WCPP pamphlet, it had a red x over a picture of a smallmouth bass. Then on the same page they had restrictions on when and what size of smallmouth bass you could keep. I asked Doug why not let anglers catch and keep any size of bass any time of the year. There is an internal debate on how to treat smallmouth bass. It will be interesting to see what the final decision will be. So let me see if I understand you, invasive is different than non-native just like you can have six or a half dozen. Westwood

So maybe they are native to the mississippi basin but not to the arrowhead regoin. I guess I assumed you were talking about the BWCA. Either way I would say there is a huge difference between non native and invasive. Milfoil=invasive....Ring neck Pheasant=non native

	So now I understand. Non-native are creatures/plants we like and invasive are creatures/plants we don't like. So friendly Martians are non-native and destroy the Earth Martians are invasive. Westwood

	Non-native is just that. Invasives take over, displacing native plants and creatures. There's a lake I went to a lot. It was a great trout lake. Never caught a bass in it until the late 80s. Now it's full of bass and it's not the great laker lake it use to be. Just my observation.
