The reason is simple: public outcry. Rotenone is never the popular choice. People come out of the woodworks to fight rotenone because it is a chemical that kills all aquatic life in the target water. This is never a popular choice -- even if it the correct choice. [/quote]
It should be pointed out that in the Scofield angler survey, respondents who favored use of rotenone outnumbered those that opposed by a 2:1 margin! However, as is demonstrated in these endless Scofield threads, the opponents are a very vocal minority, and in this case, got their way.
Northman's point about the DWR ( more specifically, certain managers) trying to save face with their current actions is a very valid one.
