We already have some killer perch fisheries in this state, some that could be ranked right up there in the top 10 in the country. Utah is already above average on size of perch in our lakes, but getting some up in the 2+ pound class wouldn't take much effort from the DWR.
Why not instead of bickering about who is right and who is wrong we all put our heads together and unite towards something more beneficial and for the better good of ALL of our fisheries as a whole and get the DWR to be more public with what they plan to do to make multi-species fishing in this state world class. I know meetings are held to get public opinions on ideas but these are in a more "closed door" mannor. They need to excersise a more "open door" policy and invite some of us to have some input. Hell some of us spend so much time studying fish behaivor and the biological aspects of what makes a great fishery that I know we have some experts among us that their opinions shared directly to the DWR might just mean something.
Let's all stop pointing the finger, we all know Trout are a priority in this state, its a draw that brings anglers from all around the globe to our little piece of earth to experience what our little fishing holes have to offer. But why not get more vocal and diverse with our opinions and give up the "single species focus" train of thought.
A more diverse outlook would help for the greater good.
