What is all of the fuss? The walleyes have been a bit skinny out there this spring and this will certainly help.[]
Seriously, (I think) what they are trying to do is attempt to establish a "run" of hatchery raised June suckers that go up the Provo to spawn as their ancestors have. This used to happen in June, hence the name. Maybe they feel that the 4-6 inchers will be more likely to "imprint" and do it and planting in June is key to get the timing right. Otherwise, I agree, it seems a dumb time and especially, a questionable size to plant hatchery pets.
