Gillnetting lake trout began last week." "... “100 to 200 adult-sized” lake trout — about 5 to 10 pounds — will be transported from Bear Lake. Sterile lake trout have been stocked in Bear Lake since the early 2000s."
I guess I did not read the whole article because I missed that part. What concerns me about that statement is the gill netting part, of those 100 to 200 adult lake trout they are taking how many will die as a result of the gill nets? I'm sure they think what ever that number is, that it is an acceptable number but IMO there a far too few Lakers in BL as it is and as you pointed out there are far too few lakes in Utah that have Macks.
