Ever noticed that the bioligists that handle the eastern plains warm water fisheries have pretty much carte blanch to do whatever they want? Thats because they don't have to answer to Trout Unlimited! Just my opinion.
I have argued with the DOW for years about Antero. They drain it once a decade and then stock the exact same species in it. after a couple of years, the suckers take over and fishing flat lines. I sighned the petition that was going around to stock Tigers in Antero, and personally pleaded several times with field officers to try something different. They would just rather find a reason to drain it every six or seven years and then take credit for initial boom that always follows after they refill it.
They will do nothing about Blue Mesa, and the worst scenario will happen, and of course it won't be their fault! It never is!
