How sure is the DWR that these old fish that have only known Bear Lake for 30 years will even survive the 300 mile trip and adapt to the new eco system. Sure seems like it would have made sense to do a trial run with like ten fish with GPS trackers to see if they die. There seems to be enough questions this should have been a RAC agenda item or at least a town hall meeting.They can have my guns but dont touch the lake trout. Again i do understand that the dwr cant please everyone but we pay for this and the way i see it from all the discussions i see this is a 10 to 1 people dont like this. It just seems like we know best now like it Is all we get. I for one hope this can be stopped.
I have a final question: I’m not a big sky is falling guy. I’m the one telling everyone Obama and Biden aren’t taking your guns so stop buying all the ammo. But, I fear that this “study” will lead to restrictions on Lake Trout, under the guise of protecting endemic species. So, can you guarantee that the stocking numbers of macs will remain the same or more, the angling limits won’t be relaxed or god forbid a catch and kill order/lake trout eradication won’t take place (ie: Yellowstone Lake)? Can you confirm that will be the case? Chris, feel free to respond if you can. I would be done with this issue if you can. Whatever that’s worth, probably not much tho.
