I disagree. They already plant thousands of cutts each year plus there is some natural recruitment. Adding a few thousand sterile tiger trout would have absolutely no noticeable affect on the fishery at all. I think they totally should add tiger trout to Strawberry. They can control numbers of them exactly. If anything, adding more cutthroats has more potential for impact than tigers, since they can reproduce.
In reality though, they couldn't dump enough cutts or tigers in there no matter how many they put I think. If they are introduced small, a large percentage of them become snacks for the big cutts. Introduced large they will be in smaller numbers so not a problem.
