I saw them seining sauger from below Nickajack dam. Asked the biologist what they were doing and he told us they were taking them to a hatchery to get the eggs to stock other lakes. This was twenty yrs ago fishing declined from that point on.

I was told by a biologist and friend that the reason the sauger almost disappeared was the warm winters we had for years. He said they need cold wether to spawn. The reason they are coming back is do to 2010- 2013 cold winters. Looks like they will be able too spawn the year as Well. He said the perch are the same way.
