Re"Why not stock ten thousand smaller tigers (5-6 inches) in 3-5 different places in the lake instead of a few thousand larger bows (7-10 inches)? Small tigers seem to survive better than small bows due to their behavior."
What behavior have you seen that would allow 5 inch tigers to survive predation from the big cutts better than 5 inch bows or cutts? From what I've seen, small tigers have not exhibited superior survivability compared to other trout.
RE" dumb anglers can still catch their cutts,"
Hey, I like those cutts. Yes, you can catch them hand over fist with the right techniques at certain times, but the "toss out the powerbait and wait" crowd are as likely or more likely to catch bows. And as Mr. Ward explained, most of these guys and others don't want to cut the bow quota.
