Cause i dont quantify much couldnt tell ya how many cast into the 10k it may take but spent an hour or so hoping a toothy apex predator

Encourage others and trying to consume water resources wisely doesnt sound like a bad plan
Maybe a dozen boats probably a good dozren yakers tubers suppers and assorted watercraft
Stopped by Uncle Cheeches  happy valley shop to grab sum food 4 fly flinging

Sounds like you had a really nice day on the water that you had to yourself no less, glad some fish wanted to play as well.
Thanks for the pictures and report.

We actually shared the water yesterday, my buddy and I were the tubers throwing flies in your area.

We helped the DWR with gillnetting in the morning when the weather was nice and calm.  By the time we got done and headed over to fish of course the wind came up and didn't let up all day.  Like you, we picked up the three species along with a crawdad and a chub.

Your furry friend is well behaved, I didn't know he was with until you got ready to leave and he woke up.

Nice reports!

What did the gillnetting survey show?

Probably won't know the formal results for a couple of months.  It looked like the chub population is going down.  There were hardly any small chubs in the nets, which is a good thing.  There were very few tiger trout in the nets but the cutthroats seem to be doing better.  There was actually one Artic Grayling in the nets this time.  That's the first one I've seen since I've been helping with the netting  

I think some of those 34" TM are enjoying life in Scofield. Wink
Exclamation  That's a surprise. 

 Don't remember reading about grayling in the management plan.   Wink

The biologist told me they have been stocking them in Gooseberry Reservoir for a few years so I guess it was to be expected for them to show up in Scofield but it was quite a surprise to me.
