Since the DWR has locked into their current plan, this is mainly an academic exercise, but a couple of comments.
1. You guys keep talking about "resets" needing to be done after a few years. Why? How many resets has Strawberry needed after it was treated? How about Panguitch lake? If the lake was treated, a slot limit immediately enacted and for that matter, put in the tiger muskies, (Which I like being used.) you will not need "resets", even if a few chubs persist in the tribs.
2.

It is not so cut and dried that rotenone is the most expensive option. Why? If you factor in the markedly reduced usage Scofield has seen over the past few years, the loss in usage fees probably offsets treatment costs. Also the stocking of enormous numbers of different fish, with hopes of improvement, as has been done is also not without a pricetag.
Anyway, the course is set on Skoalfield, so all we can do is wait and hope for the best that we eventually will get a semblance of what the old Schofield was like in the past.
