I talked with Dale Hepworth (he is the southern region's fisheries manager for the DWR) yesterday, he is the one who gave me this info. He also said that the numbers of trout in the gillnetting samples were the lowest he had ever seen by a considerable margin. He stated that they (the DWR) may stock catchables in the reservoir to try and bolster the trout population, but he wasn't sure what they would try to do.
I asked him about the possibility of splake, but he didn't think they would do well because the lake is having oxygen problems. He doesn't think splake would do well for this reason...he also said that the tiger trout have not done well.
