[quote cpierce]One thing I hadn't noticed before in that newsletter was the comment on page 4 about brook trout.
"the IDFG is attempting to change the source of the annual brook trout fry planted from Canada to Wyoming in order to be able to stock sterile more colorful male fish as well as sterile female fish."
Obviously F&G have listened and are trying to add the males back in. If they are successful, that should make for some amazing brook trout catches.[/quote]this gets me to my question on all Tue stocking up there and even big in Idaho. Why put all this money into stocking sterile fish instead of putting the same money and resources into improving natural spawning grounds and doing a long term solution instead of a short term bandaid.
