[quote catmaster23]All those years of growth down the drain, I say shame on the DWR for not trying to at least save some of them by transplanting. Makes me physically ill, what a waste.[/quote]
I say shame on people for having no clue as to how things work...the reality is that the DWR has no crystal ball and cannot foretell the future as some of you seem to think! The reality is that transplanting a few fish from one lake to another is not as simple as throwing them in a hatchery truck and dumping them somewhere else...the DWR has to follow protocol including state and federal laws unlike the local bucket bio who doesn't.
The shame in this situation isn't the DWR's inability to transplant some fish it is the water user's inability to recognize the value in keeping some water in the reservoir!
