Don't think for a second that it hasn't been tried. Look at the history of some of our waters in Utah, and you'll find that this is not a new idea, and [fortunately] has never worked.
In 1924 Atlantic Salmon were stocked into Fish Lake. Chinook (King) salmon in 1925. Coho (silver) in 1926. Chums (dogs) in 1939.
In 1873 Chinook were introduced into the Jordan River.
Coho were introduced into Strawberry some time before 1930 -- anglers had some mixed results at both Strawberry and Fish Lake catching coho.
There is a pretty good reason why Utah has settled for Kokanee. They are viable options, while those other species just simply are not suited for our waters.
Are you a marine biologist?
