More places receiving lake trout

[wiperhunter2]

I have had discussions, with Alan Ward (UDWR biologist for Strawberry), and he has stated that because in the summer months there is not adequate oxygen, in the deeper water at Strawberry, lake trout would not do well in Strawberry.

I find that hard to believe Kent, I know that is what Alan Ward told you but if that were the case why would they stock them in Hobbs? How deep is Hobbs, hard to believe it is deeper than Strawberry .  Good to see they are stocking them in Porcupine and Causey, maybe they will thin those kokes out and remainder will be bigger.

Curtis I'm not sure what you are saying. Alan has said that the deeper water, at Strawberry, is oxygen depleted during the warmer months. Hobbs being shallow would not have that issue; however, I would think that the water would get warmer than desirable for Lake trout in Hobbs.

That's what I meant, you would think the water in Hobbs would get warmer than Strawberry, especially in the Summer.
