Pike at the Forks?

There is a plan afoot to "provide passage" for pike and other migratory warmwater and coolwater species past obstacles up to the escarpment, while still "restricting the distribution of invasive or nuisance species such as sea lamprey, carp and round goby". The quotes in this post are from a Credit River Fisheries Management Plan draft committee resolution.

"Lake Ontario to the Escarpment should be considered native range of the northern pike and other native warmwater and coolwater species including white sucker, smallmouth bass and other smaller species of minnows and shiners".

I would much prefer the plan to focus on enhancing the streambred trout population in the area from Inglewood to the escarpment. Particularly given that the green drake mayfly is under severe threat of being wiped out on this water, this isn't the time to mess about with pike, or suckers or bass for that matter.

Update: It looks like the ministry is going to dump half a million or so Atlantics into the Credit. East Texas Red suggests they put them in just before they dump in the pike, in the same spots.
