Thanx for that info.

I didn't know about the Stiper hybrids. I just know here in NJ we have
twio Stiped Bass
hybrids.



You should have access to purebred sea run fish, too. The hybrids are
striper/ white bass crosses. The difference is whether the male or female
of each species is used. Striper eggs and white bass milt produces a
different hybrid than white bass eggs and striper milt. One of the hybrids
is called a "wiper", what is the other called? Neither hybrid is fertile,
but heavy stocking each year produces a great fishery.

Michigan DNR is considering heavy cuts in salmon stocking because of the
collapse of the alewife population. These stocking reductions may not
hamper salmon populations because of the heavy natural production on most
waters. Stockings of other fish would replace the lost salmon plantings.
