[cool][#0000ff]Broken? By who's definition. Not by the thousands of anglers...Utah and worldwide...who come to Strawberry for the outstanding fishing both for quantity and quality.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The only ones who think it is not working are the ones with private preferences and agendas that do not conform to the standards established by people more knowledgeable than themselves.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Strawberry has gone through cycles. At times the chubs have controlled the lake and ruined the fishing for rainbows because rainbows alone cannot outcompete chubs for available food. But that was "fixed" with the current program...which is doing more than well. But at no point was the "problem" the fault of DWR. It was Mama Nature doing her thing. Thankfully, DWR has implemented a program (cutts) and a sub-program (bows) that is now providing both good fishing for big fish and fish to take home.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Almost every rant in favor of putting new fish into a specific water always boils down to a personal agenda...not good biology. Then the rants turn into a "what if?" thing...again based on personal interests and not on sound biology.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Let's give it a rest. The lakes are being managed for the good of the lakes...and for ALL anglers. It is not all about a selfish few that want to restock all the lakes to suit themselves.[/#0000ff]
