yeah we can all dream of the perfict lake right.. and i must say when you catch a helthy yealowstone cutt out of E-lake they are one of the most Beautifull fish in the state..
and i can also see why the DWR would want to get Native spices in more of the waters around the state..
but the yellowstone cutt's are NOT native to this area!! and dont do very well in this area if E-lake is the exampel..
when E-lake was first made the DWR spent a lot of money and time to tell all the pepole in this area how well and good them yellowstone's were going to do in that lake.. then put all kinds of reg's on all the streams and rivers in the area to protect them.. only problem is the fish have never lived up to it's hype or realy done anything else for that matter.. but breed like rabbits..
i for one would just as soon have the big browns that were in the huntington river back before the lake was made.. as see them big headed snake looking cutt's that are in there now.. i know you know what i'm talking there..
BTW the DWR did spend big buck's and 6 years time getting all the browns out of that lake and river right after it was made..
and i do agree that a lake should be able to sustain it's self with out haveing to be planted.. but the only reason E-lake don't need the planting trucks like other lake is there is not near the fishing pressure put on the lake as say scofield,strawberry,jordanelle.. yet E-lake has the ability to become just as good if not better of a fishery as any of them.. if it was managed at all..
and agree again with ya there are plenty of "bow holes" all over the state.. so how about even trying a real native of Utah like bear lake cutt's or bonneville cutt's? they cant do any worse then the yellowstones are doing..
