Great input and here's my responses to recent posts.
Have I fished Scofield, NO I don't fish for trout and have no desire to fish for them. Anyone really can catch a trout as I see it.
Now per the management plan with other species yes we will make the drive/fish/camp.
The biggest issue as I firmly see it for some is poison is the only way. But that costs dolla, dolla as I stated earlier plus permits. Lets let the plans pan out and go from there.
JV as an example and per seeing input on other social media sites Scofield including BFT is seeing a positive for fishing. Why who knows but folks are now having fun fishing Scofield. Maybe you're not so be it you want instant gratification with poison so be it. Poison cost $$$,$$$,$$$ plus. Where do yo thing the money comes from. DNR fisheries division has a limited budget. You want the DNR to jack up fishing license's for a body of water so you can see it poisoned. You'll bitch about that with an increase in license fees I'm sure.
TM can grow anywhere from 6-12" in one year so for TM at Scofield it would be a good 4 years for a TM to get to the size that one can harvest per the states daily bag limit that being 40". TM will grow slow in cooler deeper waters but they will get huge and trust us a 40" TM is a nice fish but no were near the size they can get if released.
Per others reply to this only a few are really concerned about the flavor of the day and to be blunt that's trout, trout, trout and all wiz bang types of trout.
The state is working to diversify so what is wrong with that? Nothing as I see it plus per our trips to other state waters we are seeing a lot of positive and it isn't just from folks who toss power bait from shore. My .02 again but I'm sure will fall on deaf ears with those who only see poison as the answer but don't see poison costs a whole lot of money.
Finally from the arm chair sit at home lambasting management plans why aren't you working for the DNR to voice your justifiable rationale with quantifiable evidence for your way...put that in your damn puzzler is what I say.
