I would take your case to the DWR and RAC process and not the internet. The fall RAC meetings are coming up shortly. Send in a RAC proposal or show up in person. Plead your case to the RAC's. The problem I see with this is the DWR has a negative incentive to really do anything to fix the problem on their own. A fishery has to practically be on the brink of total collapse before they will go to into action. Just look at Strawberry in the early 1990's and Panguitch Lake in 2006. Those fisheries were completely over run with chubs before the DWR took action. It is a much easier sell for the DWR to convince the public that a treatment is necessary when the fishery finally tanks out. You would be surprised at the resistance from other anglers if a treatment was proposed in the near future.
