We are actually probably closer in our thinking than either one of us are willing to admit. I suggest we just agree to disagree and all is good.
I think my biggest problem is that they waited so long to do anything serious towards fixing the problem. If they would have acted sooner (when the chubs were first found) beyond planting some tiger trout and then eventually some cutthroat and finally instituting a slot similar to Strawberry (but not when the tiger trout and cutts were first planted) they would have had a better chance to get the chubs under control long before now and at far less expense (raising predators to a larger size to plant isn't free either) and likely we wouldn't even be having this discussion today.
