It stilll confuses me like said here that they are trying to remove them from Payette lake due to impacts there yet they put them in Ririe. Sterile or not, nature does funny things with animalslol. It would be fun to catch on big one some day though, even better, start catching a few eyes
Not sure if the lakers in Payette were sterile but the fish and game in a lot of states experiment by putting different fish in a lot of lakes, just to see how they do. If the anglers that fish those lakes like the change, the fish and game could stock more of those fish. On the other hand the fish and game could stock predator fish in certain lakes in hopes of controlling a population of rough fish. By using sterile fish they have a better chance to get the desired outcome and if it doesn't work out, all they have to do in not stock them any longer and the remaining fish with either be caught or just die over time. They have been doing that in Utah for a long time.
