It has been beaten to death. And yet the UDWR refuses to do what the anglers want. I like the idea of getting input from anglers, but I fail to see why someone who has never fished Scofield, has no intentions of fishing Scofield, and who doesn't like the type of fishing being offered at Scofield should have much, if anything, to say about the future of the fishery.
One of the most common complaints about Strawberry is the lack of Rainbow Trout. Scofield was managed as a Rainbow Trout fishery, and was extremely popular because of that. It is a ghost town now.
I don't know what you guys do for a living. But if you were given a task, say build a house, or fix a road, and 12 years later you had nothing to show for it, you'd be looking for another job. The UDWR has been procrastinating for 12 years. They knew the chubs were coming back before that. They were told of chubs in 1997. (Toasty) That's 20 years. They found them in their own nets in 2000. That's 17 years. They put Tiger Trout in back in 2005. That's 12 years. When are they gonna do something that works, instead of experimenting?
That's 25 years after they were told of a problem. 23 years after they admitted the problem. 17 years of working on the problem. Does anyone see a pattern here?

Quote:The new management plan for Scofield Reservoir has a lifespan of five years. If the Utah chub population is not sufficiently reduced in that time, or if the new species fail to thrive, the reservoir will be treated with rotenone, Hart says.
