Fine with me. Neighboring DWR's cooperating with each other is a good thing if you ask me. Never know when you are going to need some kokanees from a different gene pool, or some other favor. They own 1/2 of Bear lake, Who's to say they won't take that 400 from the Idaho side?
Bear Lake is managed for the sacred Native Cutthroat Trout. The lakers are put and take , for us, the anglers, all anglers properly licensed. That's why sterile. With only sterile and only stocking to sustain population, size, density and angler success can all be managed.
This movement isn't just in Bear lake either. Biologists love hybrids because they are sterile. They are in control and with their own army of vicious eating machine Muskellunge to keep everything in line...we get the fishing we are getting in this desert and drought. Completely controlled and fantastic given the environment.
Just my opinion.
