[#0000FF]The nearby availability of macks...for bucket biologists...leads most experts to point to the intentional introduction of the invaders. As you point out, "natural" appearance is a lot less likely.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]I suppose there are a lot of things that we can learn, when we go to "the other side". First would be that there really is an other side. Next would be whether fishermen are allowed and if the fishing is any good. Eternal punishment would be a NO to either or both of the last two questions.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Without direct first hand knowledge, there are a lot of things we either have to accept on faith...or reject for lack of evidence. A whole lot of questions in life that fall into the category of "nebulous ponderosities".[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]I haven't fished Yellowstone for many years...since before the macks arrived. And I doubt I will ever have the opportunity or desire to fish it again. So I really don't have a personal interest in the ecology of the lake. But it does rankle me whenever I see the results of bucket biology gone wrong.
