[reply]hey Jim do you think that the DWR should look into stocking chub back into FG?
[/reply]
What good would that do? The DWR already is feeding the lake trout rainbows and kokanee...if they stocked chubs, they would have to do it annually, they would have to start raising them in hatcheries, and increased competition with rainbows and kokanee would lead to poorer condition of those fishes.
The only reason that big fish is even able to live in Flaming Gorege is because the wildlife departments from wyoming and utah continue protecting kokanee and stocking rainbows.
You guys should be worried about all he dang burbout...add another predator to an already thin prey base and you are destined for problems. The DWR is right on in their assessment of the lake, and they know it...it is
that fishermen can't see the forest for trees when it comes to the basic management principles and problems that surround this lake.
