Please somebody explain to me how this state is more suited for trout than walleye. Sure, there is a natural population of cutthroat and suckers and chubs blah blah. But they do not fair well in our resiviors, if they did, we wouldnt have to plant the crap out of them. The state creates some of its own problems by wanting to control the populations. You see, by planting steril fish, they are in effect taking a good portion of the food base out of the equation. With out spawing fish, there are far fewer babies to feed everything else.
Walleye are the most geneticaly diverse species in north america. A bass, trout, bluegill, musky, ect are almost identicall where ever they are found. But walleye adapt so quickly to new water it actually changes them geneticaly. This is biology and a fact, look it up. You almost cant use the same techniques on one body of water to another for em, why, cause they are actually a different fish.
So you want an answer of what is a good fit for Utah resiviors? WALLEYE. They will survive and thrive wherever you find them. The only way to keep the slimers alive is to plant adults with a life support systems attached to their backs, and hope and pray they survive one year. 76% of a walleyes diet is mayflies[shocked], trouters dont believe me, look that up too. Its not just the prey fish population. And you dont think that bass and blugill wont find a way to coexist with the walleye? In my opinion this is the way nature works, cause only the strong fry will survive. It will produce a stronger smarter population of fish.
