If they could be trained to eat black bass and leave the crappie and channel cats alone then it would be a wonderful thing 
From Genesis: "And God promised men that good and obedient wives would be found in all corners of the earth."
Then He made the earth round...and He laughed and laughed and laughed!

I am all for it!!!!!!
Lake pat has the largest shad population of any lake I have ever scene.
The biggest problem I see is it already gets crowded on the water and really only one ramp,,,
Lots of skiers and jet fleas.
Then again one good rain and they will all be in Whitney It can be a pain dealing with all of the pleasure boaters and jet skis on Cleburne. If they would expand the ramp down by the damn, that might help some congestion by the golf course. The west side boat ramp is still open but that's a long way around there!

if this is true it would not be a good thing. Its not a good thing if your a green fish guy, I know the bass fisherman at lake waco kicked and screamed when tpwd said they would stock them.

They will be fun and will thrive with a good shad population. I think it will be a bonus. They will feed on the shad in open water and when caught will be eaten not returned most likely. Parks and Wildlife monitors water capacity,stocking rates. The biologists know what they are doing.

TPWD stocked the hybrids in Cleburne last Thursday. My son met them at the ramp when he was launching and asked what they were doing. He asked the guy if they were concerned that they would eat everything in the lake and he said we don't "think" so. Personally I think it's a bad move for such a small lake.
I enjoy fishing there because it's so close to home, but I will agree with those who commented about the ramp situation. It is a horrible setup mainly because it's blocked in by rock points on both sides which creates a lot of congestion both launching and loading.

I often find Cleburne a difficult bass lake but not because of lack of forage. That lake has more shad than any lake I know of. I agree that the state should really be careful introducing competing species but I bet there is "plenty shad for everyone". Also hybrids are sterile so is it doesn't work they can just stop. I would question the statement above that the "biologist know what they are doing". Same ones that planted grass carp in Austin, Conroe....? (Sorry, couldn't help it):-)
