The link goes to the State of Utah's stocking and breeding program for Strawberry. Over and over it repeats that the lake is going to be primarily used for breeding a healthy population of Bonneville Cuts.
They won't stock smallies in the lake because if they do they stand a chance of loosing federal financing to keep up the Bonneville Cut protection iniciative.
you can cruise through this 80 pages if you want [url "http://www.fws.gov/mountain-prairie/species/fish/bct/UtahConservationAgreement.pdf"]http://www.fws.gov/...rvationAgreement.pdf[/url]
but basicaly it says that over time the state of Utah agrees to re-introduce Bonneville Cuts into pretty much every lake and stream where they would have "naturally" existed prior to them becoming a "threatened" species. Logic would say that if Strawberry is the state's primary breeding ground and "facility" for the the Bonneville Cut . . . well they won't do anything to "threaten" that balance now will they.
Just a thought for everyone to consider. Especially bucket bioligists, because this is a case where they WILL throw the book, [#0000bf]deleted [/#0000bf]and anything else that comes to hand at you for messing with their precious resource.
(not that I think you are a bucket bioligist bassrods, this thread was really in no way directed only at you [
