If I read correctly in the other thread, one of the Bear Lake biologists said they started planting macks in new waters. Causey and Stateline were mentioned.

Which lakes did you have in mind, Kent?

Jordanelle instead of or in addition to the kokanee and wipers.  I actually had an email exchange with a UDWR biologist, who was on the committee that decided what predators were going to be put into Jordanelle.  He said that sterile macks were considered and he was surprised that the majority went with other species.

Other possibilities are Deer Creek, Electric Lake, Rockport, East Canyon, Currant Creek, Porcupine and anywhere else that they could thrive.  I don't expect to have them planted everywhere, but it would be nice to have a few closer waters that had them on the menu.  

You will notice that I didn't list Strawberry.  I have had an exchange with the Strawberry biologist and he has convinced me that there isn't adequate oxygen, in the deeper water, to support macks at Strawberry.
Did the biologist say why Strawberry lacks the oxygen down deep? I've caught plenty of Cutts at the sort of depths you'd expect to find Lakers lurking.
