I think Mantua was perfect for trout. While they were there, they grew large, quickly, and were some of the stongest fighting rainbows in Utah. 17 - 19 inch fish struck so aggressively that I lost quite a few flies, even on 1x.
The death knell for Mantuas's trout, IMO was ice fishing and the knuckeheads who "fin-clipped" non-kamloops strain trout. This, combined with the illegal introduction of yellow perch (#!#!#! bucket biologists!!![mad]), marked the end of the trout program.
