There are already browns and TM in Fish Lake. The TM aren't there on purpose though. Perhaps it would be considered to intentionally stock them there. The browns are wild (and big from what I've seen evidence of).
I seriously doubt that the DWR has any interest in adding more species to FL. There are already more than ideal, from what I gather.
Why would they put kokanee in Scofield though? I don't see what kind of damage they'd do to the chub population. It's dubious that they'd even take hold and be able to grow with all of the chubs competing for the same food. Same with the 7-9 inch trout. There are already too many 7-9 inch chubs holding those back.
There's no easy fix for Scofield. The balance of power has tipped toward the dominant species: the chub.
I'd love to hear what a DWR biologist has to add to this thread.
