[cool][#0000ff]Riverdog pretty much summed it up. Bad idea in the first place. While the kamloops seemed to survive for a brief period they likely succumbed to the first low water summer when shallow waters, high water temps and thick weeds did them in. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Mantua gets cold in the winter but it is a warm, weedy shallow pond in the summer. Doesn't even come close to providing the kind of habitat that kamloops call home in their native environment.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]But, as silly as that experiment was, it still ranks somewhere behind the attempt to introduce chinook salmon into Utah Lake. Can't verify the statistics on that one but I have heard of it from several sources.[/#0000ff]
