<br />Trout Air <br /> <br />(continued) <br /> <br />. Desoeratelv tried keeping in business: <br />- Contacted legislature and DNR for <br />reimbursement/assistance <br />. No reimbUl'lllllllent given. <br />- Tried cannons shooting blanks (suggested by <br />DNR}-didn't work <br />. Herons got used to noise <br />. Bothered neighbors too much so stopped <br /> <br />n <br /> <br />Trout Air <br />(continued) <br /> <br />. Why are herons leaving early in 2000 and 200 1 ? <br />Trout air ponds are no longer being stocked with <br />fresh rainbow trout. <br /> <br />. Could it be that when the chicks hatch, that there <br />is now (assume 1000 herons live on the island) <br />5000 hungry mouths to feed instead of 1000 and <br />they can't keep up because of the diminishing <br />food supply? <br /> <br />J' <br /> <br />Trout Air <br /> <br />(continued) <br /> <br />. Tried covering ponds with nets <br />- Herons learned "plunge diving" technique to <br />get through nets. <br />NOTE: This was mentioned in previous DNR <br />Study by Dr. Custer in a memo dated March IS, <br />1999 as a "novel result not seen in other <br />locations", <br />. Sold to developer December 1998 <br /> <br />J4 <br /> <br />Trout Air <br /> <br />(continued) <br /> <br />. Which is easier to catch and better to eat, <br />colorful rainbow trout swimming on the top <br />of the water in crystal clear, spring fed, <br />trout pond, or bullheads at the bottom of a <br />algae covered lake? <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />9 <br />
