[quote rcturbos]It 
to see all these trout coming out when it's usually not good fishing up here. I know we all go to catch the fish and keep them. But I think we should be a little cautious when keeping the trout from Mantua, because I think we should let the population grow before we just start jerking them out..
What is the limit this year?[/quote]
It's funny that you say that, cuz I seen time again that ice-fishers up there DON'T keep trout. I often hear a call "anyone want a trout". I know numbers of ice fishers that may target the panfish for the pan, but the trout are just fun to play with, then chuck back down the hole.
Not sure what you're basing the "not good fishing" on, unless you've been listening to Lavaman! The bluegill and bass kept many anglers busy all spring/summer. The trout are very frisky and put up a good fight, when you find them, or they find you.
The limit is standard for Utah - 4 trout per person. Just fired up the smoker last night and ran a batch of fillets. Ahh - the aroma, I tells you!
But as FG points out - it's a sterile planter filled pond, at least as far as the trout are concerned. The bass, bluegill, and perch are pretty much on their own. But even with all the pressure - they seem to do pretty well. The Utah record Bluegill came from that weedy mud-puddle.
Tigers? Really?! Widdle ones, but that's interesting. Wonder how they'll do. That could be interesting. What's next, TigerMusky?!?!!!!!
