Thanks for chiming in Scott. Even though I am adamantly against this, I get the need for studies to be done, even if that includes mortality. I still have not seen any answer to why these 400 fish need to be put into Stanley where they have been removing the lake trout. Seems counter productive. If it’s the sterile vs fertile issue, well that seems like Idaho’s fish managements problem to solve, they caused it. It’s not Bear Lake/Utah’s problem. Why can’t they just wait out their triploid stock grow. Bryce Neilson is against this. His countless years studying and making recommendations should mean something. He deserves to at least be heard. He deserves that respect. I get why you need to defend this, but I’m guessing you and Bryce are more aligned than not. Biology hasn’t changed that much since he left. Again, thanks for being open to let us voice our opinions. Hopefully they will mean something.
