I hate to pee on the fire, but the last two years the division has only been planting like 5000 fish, so it's probably a result of what the division is doing... They put twice as many fish into Wellsville pond as they did into Hyrum.... Not very happy with their management practices at Hyrum... Kind of crazy how popular Hyrum is and they aren't doing anything to keep it going... I think they figured the perch would stay a main focus at Hyrum, but with low water perch always cycle up and down... We're in the down side of things and they should have seen that last winter and planted some trout to keep the large numbers of ice anglers happy this year, they didn't so I expect Hyrum to be on a downer this year... Newton is about fished out as well, not sure why they didn't try a little harder to do something at Hyrum... I mean they planted as many fish in Tony Grove as they did Hyrum and it has a very short season to fish it before the winter kills it out.... Maybe it's time to fish Idaho this year... Later J
When things get stressful think I'll go fish'en and worry about it tomorrow!
