I have talked with a lot of the DNR folks over the years, mostly arguing with them about stocking stripers in Lake Wylie. Wylie is the only major impoundment in SC, NC, and Va that is not stocked by the respective states. I lived five miles from Wylie for 65 years and we wanted them stocked there also. SC and NC dnr's hated each other so bad, they could not get together to share the cost of stocking. There is not even a reciprocal fishing lic. for Wylie. These folks also told me that White Perch were an invasive species and that they were never stocked by the SC DNR. I certainly hope they weren't stocked. It has been known for a hundred years that these fish are bad for our lakes.
