[quote Tangled_not] like many of you, wonder how the Kamloops rainbows would do in there. why not?[/quote]
[quote Tangled_not]
unfortunately, until the rainbows are managed properly at strawberry we wont see these fish grow to their "true" potential. the bows in the berry are being managed as put-and-take, which is
.[:/] its amazing how fast they grow, and with a little size restriction the rainbows in that lake would be AMAZING[/quote]
You just answered your own question -- but didn't realize it.
What is the bottleneck at Strawberry with rainbow trout size? Is it harvest? If that is the case, then introducing Kamloops (or Gerrards) would produce the same result you have with the current strain: rainbow trout being harvested before they can reach their true potential.
How would strain change harvest rates? it wouldn't. So, you'd have the same size fish you have now.
What would happen if rainbows were not managed as "put and take"? Well, whatever strain is currently being used may grow large, fast! Strain isn't the issue. Fix the bottleneck.
So -- answer this question: what strain is currently being used?
[quote mojorizing]Can you post just one time, something that doesn't make sense? [/quote]
what? You mean like "plant more chubs"? Obviously, at least to most people, we know that planting more chubs does not make sense.
