Other than common carp, zebra mussels, and a stray large goldfish (koi?) that’s the extent of my known catches. They’ve all been in Pool 4 and 5. I don’t consider non-native stocked fish to be invasive if they exist without issues.
To me, I consider something to be invasive and warranting removal when it is likely to outcompete native species or adversely impact them. If something like a turkey, pheasant, trout, walleye is planted somewhere where it isn’t native, they are not likely to harm anything. It’s also interesting to note that the “boom” of some invasive species is what brings all the “bad.” On Pool 4 there are substantially fewer Zebra mussels than there were 10-15 years ago. Their maintained population doesn’t seem to have a ton of negative impacts on species, rather just being a nuisance. Common carp are hard on bottom vegetation and spawning grounds for some species, and I’ll gladly fertilize my garden with one if given a convenient opportunity. I’ve had a few guys who bowfish when the river floods contact me about disposal. I’ve allowed some to spread them in a couple of our fields. It’s crazy how quickly eagles were all over them.
Don’t shoot me for this unpopular take, but I think there are some lakes in the Upper Midwest that could benefit from Zebra Mussels. No, I’m not talking about the walleye factory lakes of the North where water clarity can work against native fish (ie Mille Lacs). I’m talking about some of the hyper eutrophic lakes that are relatively shallow, neon green during the summer with bad algae blooms, and overloaded with nutrients. There are many that fit this bill in Mankato area, in West Central WI, and so on. Asking the homeowners not to fertilize their lawn and farmers to not stack s*** on their fields could help too.
