Are tiger musky still being considered? It seems like there is a general consensus that scofield guys don't want it treated but do want to reduce overall chub conditions. Tiger musky seem like the best solution. I have a hard time believing that tiger musky would escape into lower fish creek and thrive in any real numbers to make it down to the price river and have any influence down there. Big tiger musky just couldn't survive past the few big holes or deep water in the first few miles of lower fish creek, especially with how low the river gets during several months of the year. A mandatory catch and kill for musky in the rivers could also be added. In addition, adding tiger musky would be adding the very real potential for another species that could break state if national records. Turning scofield into a tiger trout, cutt and tiger musky lake for 4 or 5 years may allow enough of an effect on chubs to start planting bows again. But I think for now, planting bows needs to stop as it is a waste of resources. Just look at the winning rainbow over the past 10 years at the scofield ice tourny.
So if we can show that tiger musky in scofield adds very little if any risk to the river system, and also add a mandatory catch and kill to musky in the rivers, would there be any real possibility of getting them planted? If that were to happen, I don't think I would fish anywhere else for most of the year!!
