Jeff, give Chris Penne a call and talk to him.  He is the Northern Region fish guy and would be happy to talk with you about your questions/concerns.  I had a very nice talk with him on the phone last week.

Hey Bob would you mind PM'ing me his contact info?  Thanks I'd like to talk with him a bit... Thanks Jeff

Jeff, I think you are right, at least on some of what you said, like they should be able to collect more eggs from Walleye at Willard, just by increasing the time they have their nets out but with the kokanee last year at Strawberry, I'm not sure if they even got the minimum required to fill all their needs because of a poor spawn.

Curt,
I know what you're saying if nature isn't providing there isn't much they can do... Where do they get their rainbows from?  I know they are fading from the general interest in the state, but I'd still really love to see a good bow pond in reasonable driving distance... (Hint hint Hyrum makes a great bow pond) Man I love to troll into a nice bow in May or the fall.... It's so much fun to have one of them on the line... I guess the wiper are better, but I know they won't plant those in too many different lakes... Maybe Hyrum would work for wiper... if they don't want to put good numbers of bows in there...  Later Jeff

I think all bows are raised from brood stock, likely the same on all trout species..

I think if you want nice bows there are some great locations.  Big fat Bows would be starvation,  good numbers I like deer creek, and Flaming Gorge. Others are Hyrum, jordanelle, Rockport, Hyrum.
I'd hate to see wipers in hyrum. go to east canyon for them.
My opinion.
