I didnt mean that Fisherman don't illegally itroduce species. Just in Strawberry's case the chubs were going to come back thru the ladders tunnell whether they were illegally planted or not. As for no choice but to poison.....maybe they could of introduced the current slot limit then. And used all that money spent on rotone for habitat improvements. Maybe they could of closed the fishery for a year or two to allow some trout to grow up a little so they would start eating some of them chubs. I just dont think poisoning a fishery everytime it gets out of whack is the answer. Maybe some hard management decisions and a little education of why those changes were made would be better.
