Scofield DWR Netting

[dubob]

[quote Northman]What makes a good trout fishery or any fishery? Well for starters when enough people like the overall experience enough to book a stay at the fishery. If the fishing is so good at Scofield why is the State Park a ghost town? Why is the gas station/camp ground at Scofield up for sale? There are a lot of us that have fished the Hell out of Scofield in the past that have now been reduced to just checking in fishing the reservoir to see if things are improving. Maybe there isn't a large population up there but I would like to see that area thrive again. If you haven't fished there since the 70's and don't intend on fishing there... maybe you should consider stepping off your soap box.[/quote][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]And maybe you should do some honest to goodness research for facts about the place. As I already said, I talked on the phone with the State Park and was told the State Park is anything but a ghost town. The TOWN of Scofield is fast becoming a ghost town if not already there, but the State Park is alive and well. I don't go to Scofield for a very simple reason; it's too far to travel to catch trout. There are dozens of local lakes within an hours drive that will produce a limit of rainbow trout any day of the week. And I certainly don't need to drive that far to catch wipers or tiger muskies since I live in Weber County. The reason I get on a soap box is because folks tend to let their emotions get in the way of the facts. You know, the State Park hasn't become a ghost town, and there isn't any measurable economic impact to Carbon County due to a reduction in over trout size at Scofield Reservoir. And lets not forget that the latest DWR Netting analysis indicates that the overall fishery is improving with the addition of a couple of new fish species. So yeah, I think its important to get on the box and report the truth rather than preach my opinion as gospel. If you, or anybody else can present some hard data that proves what I've said so far is in any way false, I will gladly admit to my error and apologize to one and all.[/size][/#800000][/font]
