Um, yes, I want a Yuba type fishery everywhere. But one where the state plants some forage in extreme low water years. That would keep the boom bust cycle under control. Something the state could do that wouldnt require a crap load of planting catchables would be to manipulate limits. I was actualy happy when I seen the 50 perch statewide limit. Lets take willard for example, why cant we have an emergency 2 fish limit to let them get back the numbers? What about slot limits? That has been proven in the midwest to be a succesfull way to keep good populations up. Ya know, the mid west, with multiple imoundments with fluctuating water levels designed for drinking and farm use. Kinda sounds like Utah a little[
].
Nobody has given me a good example of a good self sustaining utah trout lake. One that isnt manipulated constantly by the state. My god, they planted rainbows in bear lake cause people were complaining the cutts were too hard to catch from shore. So even the precious native bonneville cutthroat are starting to suffer the same fate as utah walleye, they wont eat cheese off the bottom!
