plant tiger trout in the berry

[PBH]

[quote duckdog1us]I'm sure in the grand scheme of things it wouldn't be that hard to plan one less hatch of bows and one more of tigers come on give UDWR some credit[/quote]

It has nothing to do with how many bows are being raised in the hatcheries. It has to do with how many tiger trout are being created. Before you can have the DWR stock more tiger trout, you need to find out what their capacity for raising tiger trout is. So, the question becomes:

1. can additional tiger trout be raised?
2. if not, which quotas get cut (what waters do you steal tiger trout from)?




I'm also sure that you could find lots of chubs in isolated areas right now. The problem is matching that to historical gill-netting data from other times of year. It would be like comparing a football score to a soccer score. The data would be just plain "out of whack". That's the problem with many "arm chair biologist" anglers -- they can't see the whole picture. They look at one little corner of a painting, and think "well....duh! Look at this!". They fail to look at the whole thing -- including historical records.

Duckdog -- have you even spoken with Allan Ward? If not, maybe you should.
