Randy,
Thank you for your thorough response. I have one question about your report but I don't know how to reach you directly. You stated:
"[font="Open Sans", sans-serif]It turns out that we are egg limited with kokanee. We feel that we are taking as many eggs as possible out of Strawberry and Flaming Gorge and that we would harm these fisheries if we took more eggs."[/font]
[font="Open Sans", sans-serif]Can you explain how taking more eggs would harm the fishery? If the spawners are going to die anyway, it would seem that taking all the eggs possible would not harm anything unless you need a certain number of fish to spawn naturally for some reason? I'd be interested to know the factors limiting the number of eggs you can take without harm.[/font]
[font="Open Sans", sans-serif]Thanks[/font]
