Walleye paul, you have to realize that Dennis is right, the DWR does exactly what makes anglers happy. The state is not mangaed as a walleye fishery because walleye is not the prime interest among fishermen. Also you have to realize that the DWR actually does thier job better than most of us would imagine. They have the info and facts about what will work where. Lots of times we anglers just see what we want and without understanding the facts concerning the situation we become blinded by our own desire. If you do a little research into the subject you will find that the DWR is very interested and spends a lot more time and money in the study and enhancment of the walleye waters we have here in utah. Really, they do. Hard to believe? Well, do your homework and you will see. Also until the majority of utahs angler become walleye lovers it is wise, very wise to place the focus where the interest lies. The percentages of walleye to trout waters are likley in your favor when you consider the percentage of anglers who fish for trout versus walleye. Its too easy to whine about a situation rather than gather the appropriate info and make a valid case and unfortuantley the DWR often takes the load of abuse when in reality they dont deserve it. Education is the key. We all need more of it before our opinions have validity.
