Chubs at Fish Lake and a tagged perch

Quote:[red]After discovering the chubs in 2005,[/red] the DWR responded immediately. Our fisheries personnel stocked approximately 105,000 tiger trout fingerlings that same year. Biologists hoped the aggressive tiger trout would be able to control the chubs through predation (similar to the way Bear Lake cutthroat trout have helped control chubs in Strawberry Reservoir).

12 years and counting. They know what works. They know what doesn't now. The Tiger Trout grew big when they were getting supplemental feedings of Rainbow Trout fingerlings and they had multiple year classes of chubs. 12 years of declining use of the fishery. 12 years, and it just keeps getting worse. It's time to do something.
