A question for the fishologists on here

[SkunkedAgain]

To add a different perspective, but maybe confirm some of the last comments... Idaho had planted smallies in Onieda reservoir, not sure how long ago, but they have found their way down stream in the Bear River to where there is an interesting population in Cutler Reservoir... So they will travel in rivers in Utah, but it may be the larger more consistent waters that remain somewhat steady year round. I don't know if they have found their way into the lower Bear the other side of Cutler dam, but they are in the upstream side of things... Interesting, I have heard the lower Bear has shad in it, suspect that they came from Willard Bay, but so far we haven't seen any that made their way over the dam at Cutler... i guess this is why I received so much attention when I suggested that we needed to plant white bass in Cutler.... Seems like they go everywhere once they are planted, so I see why the division has to be so careful and consider what the effects are when they try a new species in an area... With the smallie effect you may be lucky you aren't getting what you asked for, I hear the smallie will run most everything else out, or at least put a hurt on them... (Hasn't effected the carp in Cutler though...) Later Jeff
