I think a back woods lake is beyond what I want to go for with my set, I'm looking more out to sea. That being said, trout and salmon are big, big species around here so I would love to add one or both of them somehow. Now, I don't know if you can add another fish population along side the current vanilla one, because I would like to add these two with fishing methods similar (radius etc.) as that makes sense for them - it doesn't with the offshore stuff because you won't be catching tuna in a river. So having a salmon population and a trout population similar to the fish population would be cool, perhaps I will give it a go.
I get the problems with the chains using the vanilla fish, anything not 'fish' will not be useful in them. From an individual modder point of view, I get that is annoying for players, but also for me. I would like my things to be fully integrated with those of others, but that is not really possible as everyone has added their own take on things. I could have a building that re-packages my stuff as 'fish', but then that would take away the point of adding them as variation in the first place. Otherwise I can make those chains and buildings myself, perhaps some canning will come in the future, but there are only so many minutes in a day...
