Can you tell us what the growth rate is per year for Perch and Small mouth in Utah??
And can you tell us why we had so many more bass in Jordanelle for so many years ( numbers and size) and now we have less in size and lots less in numbers??
But you say we need to keep more fish (smaller fish) to make room for the even smaller fish??
From what I have found out other states that have small small mouth bass and perch problems put size or slot limits on the lakes so the fish can have the time to grow..Bigger bass and bigger perch eat of the smaller ones so all can grow, is this not right??
The more and bigger fish like bass, perch, walleye you have in a lake the better the health and fishing the lake will be in??
And if we as fisherman take out most of the small fish, where is the bigger fish to come from??
Is the DWR going to plant them bigger??
Are the fish (bass and perch, walleye) going to get big over night??
How long is your way going to take to show a difference in the fishery ??
