I know some of you don’t do the EVIL Facebook. So sharing...
“Our fisheries team visited Scofield Reservoir to do some gill netting last week. They were excited to catch both tiger muskies and wipers in their nets. These predatory fish were planted in the reservoir back in 2017 to help reduce the number of chubs. The largest wiper caught was 21.85 inches and weighed over 6 pounds! The largest tiger muskie was 30 inches and had a 10-inch chub in its stomach.”
My prediction is Scofield will become a great fishery and I'm very optimistic that folks who were negative Nancie's on the stocking of both these species will be pleasantly surprised. Guess we'll see...way better than spending hundred of thousands of dollars killing it off with rotenone every 10 years and starting over to end up with the same results meaning chub problems.
But that’s my .02
