Skiatook has the same problem with hybrids. Used to be a lot better largemouth fishery than it is now.

Skiatook is a prime example of how ODWC can kill a lake. They put too many hybrid in it and it took 15+ years to recover. They did the same thing to Copan but due to it silting in that lake will never recover. Birch lake was also ruined by ODWC with hybrids I haven't been on it in a couple years but from talking to guys that fish it the lake has made the turn and slowly getting better.
ODWC needs to leave lakes alone.

True can't prove hybrids hurt the lakes just know they fished a lot better before the hybrids.
As far as Copan and Hula suffer as bass lakes. They have both have silt issues that have hurt the bass population. Copan stays dingy to muddy all year I can't remember the last time I saw clear water. The northern end is so shallow the wind keeps the lake dirty all the time. Hula the silt has cut the lake off from the river. Hula lake itself is almost completely void of structure. Being Corps flood control lakes the Corps could care less about the fish population.
what is "LMBV"? sorry...
