Many waters will not support natural reproduction and that's why they are stocked in the first place. I have read quite a few studies out here about much of what you are asking and the answer in short is that isn't isn't a pull the rabbit out of the hat deal- they have legitimate scientific date to back their decisions. Whether we as the public understand that or not. I relaize that they are providing something for the public and we do foot the bill for it but I don't think they have to explain every decision that they make in the newspaper, I don't want my money wasted that way. I would venture that all the reasons for the decisions are out there if you write or email the F and G and ask. I have many times and there has always been a response back to me.
