5/16/2014 9:25:00 PMI have to agree fishrich. Poisoning 'the lake does not work. Studies have shown that the fish can sense the poison in the water and move away from it and can survive. I fished Sprague the year after it was killed and caught a lot of small bass. Badger has been "rehabed" before and it didn't work then. I caught some respectable bass there last year and a coworkers wife tied into a large trout but failed to land it. I personally believe that lakes with multiple species of fish are healthier and provide more fishing opportunities for more people. It will take some time but if left alone Badger will become a great fishery for many not just a mediocre trout lake.
