Kamloops Rainbow

Interesting, I didn't know that about Minersville. I live in the north so I don't keep up on reservoirs in the south. I find it hard to believe that every trout under 12" is eaten though. Do you have a link to any of the studies. Sounds like good reading.

"[size 1]At Strawberry, the rainbows aren't surviving for more than a year or two."[/size]

[size 1]I thought they stopped stocking Strawberry with rainbows several years ago? I never said strain was the limiting factor. I agree with you on most of your points. Just relax. [/size]

[size 1]"the former Southern Region Aquatics Manager for the UDWR spent many years experimenting with different strains of rainbow trout in Southern Utah. Attempts at growing larger fish based on strain were always failures. The reason? Strain wasn't the limiting factor in growth."[/size]

[size 1]So did he find anything that was successful at growing larger fish? There are so many variables that affect the size and quality of a fish that you will never be able to reduce down to a handful of bottlenecks. It will be HUNDREDS of bottlenecks. So why do you think the Cutthroats get so large in strawberry? Regs or Diet? [/size]
