Quote:After Thursday’s gill netting, a total of 68 brooks, 68 cutts, 42 hybrids and 1088 chubs had been captured making an average of 4.26 trout and 25.9 chubs per net/night for the 42 nets. Garren is hoping for a lot more trout to show up in the next eight nets.
I love it! Finally, it may not be what they are looking for to 'sell' fish but it's what a trophy lake should look like. I remember several people used to argue with me about chubs and trophy hybrids saying they don't eat chubs. Bull. Want big fish like me? Lower the fish count and up the chub count and you will have a trophy fishery. Want to see most of the out of state boats go home early and not come back? Get rid of the over population of cutts and let the hybrids roll!
Thanks F&G! Sounds like your plan worked perfectly to me!
