How are sterile brook trout any different than a tiger trout? Either you put true brookies in the lake and let them go through the boom and bust cycle that brookies do in those lakes or you look for the most effective way to manage lakes which might include introducing other species.
I pose the question, when a sterile brook gets caught that breaks the state record, are you going to accept that or cry foul because it's a sterile fish? Personally catching a state record brook trout that is sterile is about the equivalent of catching a Boulder mountain tiger.
If you want the mountain to be "pure" pick a side, "STERILE BROOK TROUT PLEASE" is the same argument as putting tiger trout and grayling...
That's my thoughts at least....
